3R60 vacuum modular knee joint
Reference number | 3R60=VC |
Max. user weight | 125kg |
Type of Knee | Mechanical |
The 3R60 vacuum knee joint has a mechanical vacuum pump integrated into the upper joint section. Active volume management ensures a better connection between the residual limb and prosthesis.
- The intake valve is connected to the prosthetic socket by flexible tubing.
- When the knee joint is flexed, the integrated pump generates a vacuum in the socket.
- The outlet valve discharges air and fluids.
- Generating a vacuum is also possible when cycling.
- The purely mechanical pump is fully integrated into the knee joint.
- The 3R60 vacuum can be combined with existing vacuum socket systems.
