This is something we're pretty excited about: a hybrid carbon fibre and silicone transfemoral socket, designed and developed in-house at X-Tremity.
We wanted to bring together the best of both materials. Carbon fibre makes up the base, with spines that run up each side of the socket, giving it the structure and strength needed for a secure fit. Siliicone is used for the walls of most of the socket, which moulds to the shape of the leg for a snug, comfortable feel and just enough flexibility for everyday movement.
Because the silicone can adapt to changes in limb shape throughout the day, this design also helps reduce pressure points and that digging-in feeling that can come with a long day on your feet.
This kind of innovation is something we're very proud of here at X-Tremity. We're always looking at new ways to combine materials, methods and technology to build devices that genuinely work better for the people wearing them.
If you'd like to know more about this hybrid socket, or want to chat about whether a similar design could work for you, get in touch with our team. We'd love to talk it through.
