User Experience

Karlianny is a real bundle of energy

Karlianny is a real bundle of energy. And she certainly needs energy for her busy everyday life with four children, work and hobbies. What she particularly likes about the QuickValve as an above-knee amputee? "The valve has a very discreet and unobtrusive design, it's quick and easy to use."

Silvio is on the road and on his feet a lot

In his job in the events industry, Silvio is on the road and on his feet a lot. When he comes home after a long day at work, he likes to relax on the couch and take off his prosthesis. "I like the fact that I don't have to think about my prosthesis while I'm working, it sits securely and firmly. And if I want to take it off, it's super easy to do with a twist of the valve."

Functionality

The valve is easy to use: with just one turn, the valve is opened so users can step into their prosthesis and close the valve by another turn. A haptic signal ("click") indicates that the valve is closed. Air is discharged automatically when the socket is put on and while the prosthesis is used. Turning the valve cap opens the valve, air flows in, making it easy for the user to pull their residual limb out of the socket. The valve is very quiet. The handle recesses on the valve cover make it easy to operate – even with limited finger mobility.
