32 devices · GMDN 64715

An external lower-limb prosthesis suspensory component is a non-powered device integrated into the socket of an artificial limb. Its primary clinical purpose is to minimize unwanted movement between the user's residual limb and the prosthetic socket during periods when the limb is not bearing weight.

These components are available in various mechanical configurations, such as straps, sleeves, cuffs, belts, or locking mechanisms. Users should note that these devices are designed specifically to enhance the stability and secure fit of a lower-limb prosthesis.
