Is a Socketless Socket Right for You?
If you struggle with volume changes, heat rash, or "socket fatigue" at the end of the day, this technology could be a life-changer. Because it is highly adjustable, it is also an excellent option for new amputees navigating the first 12–18 months of limb maturation.
What is a Socketless Socket?
Traditional prosthetic sockets are made of rigid, static materials that can often feel restrictive or uncomfortable as your limb changes shape throughout the day. The Martin Bionics system replaces the rigid "bucket" with an open-frame design that is:
- Fully Adjustable: Integrated swing-arm technology and adjustable straps allow you to fine-tune your fit in real-time.
- Breathable: The open-frame design significantly reduces heat and moisture buildup, keeping your skin healthier.
- Conforming: Instead of forcing your limb into a hard shape, the socket conforms to your unique anatomy, providing "total contact" without the "total pressure."
