NPS Prosthesis for Hip Disarticulate / Hemipelvectomy Amputees 

After a patient is fit with a custom-made medical grade silicone liner (fabricated on-site in our lab) the socket is designed and formed to fit intimately over it, providing a precise and comfortable fit. A light-weight carbon fiber disc containing Negative Pressure Suspension (NPS) technology is inserted into a pocket formed into the silicone liner. Additional components are added and the resulting prosthesis provides the highest degree of control possible, allowing the wearer to walk with confidence--and sit in comfort!
