Augmented Suspension System

The New Orthocare Innovations Vacuum Technology
Vacuum sockets have proven their clinical benefits in recent years, though vacuum components have significant limitations. With nearly noiseless operation and advanced control methods, Edison™ sets a new standard for augmented vacuum suspension.

Edison™ Provides Noiseless Operation
In contrast to diaphragm-style pumps, the Edison’s™ large bore piston design can operate at low speeds and high efficiency, providing nearly noiseless operation. The piston volume also acts as a surge tank, maintaining desired vacuum levels with only intermittent pump action.

Intelligent Design: Autonomous Control Methods
Edison’s™ intelligent microprocessor control enables automatic reduction in vacuum level for sensor determined nonambulatory states, and increased vacuum level for high levels of physical activity. This promotes greater suspension and proprioception when needed or desired. The patent-pending intelligent control methods employed in the Edison™ system ultimately provide greater patient comfort and flexibility for user desired function.
