5A60 - Prosthetic liners

Varos

Varos. Right from the start

The Varos socket is a socket solution that benefits transfemoral amputees starting in the rehabilitation phase as well as later during treatment with the final prosthesis.
One key advantage is the option to independently adapt the socket circumference to fluctuations in the volume of the residual limb and to everyday activities by simply turning the closure – exactly as needed. This offers numerous benefits in therapy and everyday life, from an enhanced feeling of safety to the potential for better movement control.

The Varos liner was developed to be compatible with the Varos socket. Contact between the Varos liner and fabric adhesive strips in the socket also results in a good adhesion mechanism for a secure hold in the socket – and the magnetic distal connector in the liner makes it even stronger. Plus, pressure distribution provided by the liner ensures good wearer comfort. The Varos socket can be fabricated in significantly less time than a conventional socket.

Socket circumference can be independently adjusted

Thanks to the BOA Fit System, the socket circumference can be adjusted independently and at any time. This can be necessary if there are fluctuations in the residual limb volume, or to suit a particular activity. In this way, the sense of safety can be directly influenced.
