Direct Socket TF Course

The Direct Socket TF System is a new and innovative way of making a Transfemoral socket, directly onto the users residual limb. Utilising appropriate liner size and selection, a silicon brim, and either Basalt or Glass fibre braids, the socket is directly laminated to the user, with the whole process taking no more than 2 hours. The Direct Socket TF can be utilised with Seal-In, Unity Elevated Vacuum and Locking suspension, making it suitable for a wide range of users. This course will take place over 2 days at the Össur Academy facility in Melbourne, with multiple Direct Sockets made by the participants, with guidance to ensure the attending clinicians gain hands on experience and confidence with this new technique. Patient models will be fit with the Direct Sockets, appropriate Liners, Locks or valves, and troubleshooting techniques will also be covered.

Intended learning outcomes:

Participants will understand the Direct Socket TF process, compatible interfaces, suspension options and components. Post completion, participants will also be able to:

- Understand liner sizing and selection

- Understand user profile

- Understand TF alignment and complementary components

- Understand troubleshooting techniques
