Product Features
The Varos socket (5A60) and Varos liner (6Y200) are recommended as a combination for reliable interim and definitive fitting for users with a transfemoral amputation. The prefabricated socket allows a quick assembly and custom adaptation, significantly reducing the number and duration of visits the patient requires for adjusting the prosthesis.
The special Varos liner evenly distributes pressure on the residual limb. Contact of the liner with fabric adhesive strips in the socket and the distal magnetic connector result in especially good adhesion in the socket. This offers users the advantages of high flexibility and functionality in comparison with conventional sockets.
Key Features:
- Varos liner: Enables suspension with socket wall and improves pressure distribution.
- Secure connection: Through static friction.
- Magnetic cap: Improves distal suspension.
- Boa Fit system: Provides situational adaptivity by turning the dials.
- Flexibility: Enhanced socket wall flexibility compared to conventional sockets.
- Height adjustment: Socket shell and side rails can be cut to size.
- Spherical adapter: Allows flexion of up to 15° to compensate for flexion contracture with additional adapters.
