Leak-Rate Total Contact Valve

The leak rate total contact valve allows for controlled rate of air expulsion through the valve the user stands or walks on the prosthesis. Typically, it does not require further adjustment once the leak rate is properly set. Leak rate of the one-way valve promotes noiseless air expulsion during use. The leak rate total contact valve is designed to be used with a laminated socket. Suction suspension is released by unscrewing the valve.
