PROSTHETIC LIMB AND PROSTHETIC LIMB ATTACHMENT FOR SWIMMING
20180318111 · 2018-11-08 ·

A prosthesis including a socket configured to receive a residual limb, a pylon attached to the socket, the pylon comprising at least one fin, and an artificial foot attached to an end portion of the pylon.

ABOVE THE KNEE POST-OPERATIVE RESIDUAL LIMB SUPPORT
20180185175 · 2018-07-05 ·

An above-the-knee post-operative residual limb support device is described. The support device may be used shortly after amputation of a portion of a limb, such as a portion of a patient's leg (e.g., such as in an above-the knee (AK) amputation procedure). Such a support device may be referred to as an Immediate Post-Operative Prosthesis (IPOP).

Biomedical finger assembly for use with capacitive panels

A prosthetic digit usable with capacitive panels is provided. The digit includes at least one conductive layer surrounding the body of the digit, and a non-conductive sealing layer around the conductive layer preventing direct external contact of the conductive layer with the capacitive panel. The digit may have a conductive tip pad to create a series capacitive pathway between the conductive layer of the body and the electrodes of the capacitive panel. Using the digit with a capacitive panel does not require a direct conductive pathway, e.g., a pathway between the capacitive panel and the structure of the device, the user's skin, or metallic sink.

PUMP MECHANISM

The present disclosure pertains to prosthetic systems that encompass a prosthetic foot and a pump mechanism devised to eliminate fluid between a prosthetic socket and a residual limb or liner, thereby sustaining a hypobaric pressure chamber within a cavity of the prosthetic socket. The pump mechanism may incorporate a fluid chamber established between a membrane and the housing of the pump mechanism. Forces resulting from the user's gait during the compression and expansion of the prosthetic foot can be transmitted to an L-brace, which is configured to actuate the membrane of the pump mechanism, facilitating the influx and efflux of fluid into and from the fluid chamber.

PROSTHETIC FOOT COVER ASSEMBLY
20250339293 · 2025-11-06 ·

A water-tight foot cover assembly is described. In one example, the water-tight foot cover includes a foot cover, and a seal. The foot cover can have a pattern on a bottom surface to increase friction between the water-tight foot cover and a walking surface. The seal can include one or more one-way valves and provide a water-tight seal so that water, dirt, or other debris cannot enter an inner cavity of the foot cover. The water-tight foot cover assembly can include an inner shell that provides structural support to the foot cover. The foot cover can be pressurized or vacuumized in order to change structural properties of the foot cover.
