21Y2 - Suspension

QuickValve


The 21Y2 QuickValve sets a new standard for speed in everyday use, allowing the socket to be removed with a simple twist. It is compatible with numerous liners and helps generate a vacuum in the prosthetic socket, reducing friction and shear forces during the swing phase. If the liner does not have a sealing lip, a sealing sleeve is required below the knee.

User Experience

Karlianny is a bundle of energy!

With her Brazilian roots, Karlianny is a real bundle of energy. And she certainly needs energy for her busy everyday life with four children, work and hobbies.

What does Karlianny like the most about the QuickValve as an above-knee amputee? "The valve has a very discreet and sleek 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 QuickValve is easy to use: with just one turn, the valve is opened so users can step into their prosthesis and close the valve with 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 remove their residual limb from the socket.

The QuickValve is very quiet, and the handle recesses on it's cover make it easy to operate, even with limited finger mobility.
