How do pin lock sockets work?

In a Pin Lock System, a pin is screwed into the lower end of the liner. The pin is inserted into a shuttle lock integrated into the socket, thereby connecting the residual limb to the prosthesis. The system is easy to unlock using a simple mechanism. Shuttle lock fittings are frequently used with transtibial prostheses. No suspension sleeve is required with this system.

Passive Vacuum

Passive vacuum, also referred to as a ‘one-way valve’, provides a high level of socket comfort when a vacuum is created between the suspension sleeve and the liner/skin. When you begin to walk, the air is driven out of the socket to form a solid connection.
