The Lycra-coated silicone suspension system for silicone-made tibial prostheses adheres to both the hard fittings of the prosthesis and the patient’s thigh, creating a perfect fit between the socket and the stump, preventing the prosthesis slipping effect. It also prevents air from entering through the proximal part of the joints and maintains the vacuum required for the proper operation of the prosthesis. The elasticity of the materials used gives a lot of freedom of movement even in bending the knee.
