Powered external lower-limb prosthesis suspensory components use motorized or mechanical systems to enhance suspension by creating a vacuum inside the socket. This reduces unwanted movement between the residual limb and prosthesis when the limb is unweighted, improving stability and comfort for users.
These devices are typically regulated as medical devices, often requiring compliance with safety and performance standards depending on the jurisdiction. They are commonly supplied as part of a full prosthesis system or as standalone components for integration into existing prostheses.
