Abstract:
A compression stabilized prosthetic device for a patient having an amputated limb includes a first socket portion for contacting a patient's limb, and a second portion for the attachment of a prosthetic component. The first socket portion has compression portions configured for compressing portions of the patient's limb, and relief portions for receiving other portions of the patient's limb which bulge upon the compression applied by the compression portions. The relief portions may be formed as openings or as enlarged radius portions of the first socket portion.

Claim (Index 11):
A method for using a prosthetic interface by a patient having a limb comprising a bone and soft tissue, wherein the prosthetic interface comprises a frame for applying a compressive force to the limb, the frame having a plurality of rigid compression portions and a plurality of low-compression portions, wherein the method comprises:\n fitting the frame of the prosthetic interface over the limb; compressing portions of the limb using the plurality of rigid compression portions of the first portion of the prosthetic interface to thereby cause portions of the soft tissue to flow away from the plurality of rigid compression portions; wherein the plurality of rigid compression portions are disposed circumferentially around the limb during a time that the prosthetic interface is disposed on the limb; wherein, each of the plurality of rigid compression portions has a longitudinal shape and is disposed longitudinally along a long axis of the limb during the time that the prosthetic interface is disposed on the limb; wherein each of the plurality of low-compression portions is disposed between two of the plurality of rigid compression portions, and are sized and dimensioned to allow the portions of soft tissue to flow away from the plurality of rigid compression portions and into the plurality of low-compression portions in response to the compressing of the portions of the limb; and wherein the plurality of rigid compression portions are sized and dimensioned relative to the limb so as to reduce soft tissue volume between the plurality of rigid compression portions and the bone When the into is donned.
