Print and design firm launch prosthetic leg socket

3D printing and design company UNYQ has announced the launch of its 3D-printed prosthetic leg socket.

It is one of several additional products to be added to its prosthetic wear line by the end of 2021.

The socket contains sensors that records the individuals’ activity, including number of steps and calories burnt. It has been ISO 10328 tested, ensuring the highest standard of quality. Clinicians benefit from improved patient satisfaction, access to data and the ability to easily replicate the product. This can save time both for the clinician and the end user. Many amputees have more than one prosthetic leg, so replication of the socket at the press of a button saves multiple visits.

Manuel Boza, co-founder and VP of prosthetics at UNYQ, said: “We are thrilled to announce the launch of the UNYQ Socket. This is another step forward in being able to provide amputees with a total leg solution. A solution where it’s practically one component, rather than a mish mash of different elements bolted together. We are working hard to further develop our Prosthetics Wear line, as well as the other exciting medical wearables in our pipeline, to continue to support our end users.”
