Introducing the Buzz
The Buzz is Suburban O&P’s adaptation of a brimless socket that
provides the ultimate comfort and control for the transfemoral
(above knee) patient. The ability to walk comfortably and reliably
has always been an issue for the transfemoral amputee with an
ischial weight-bearing or ischial containment type of a socket.
Pressure at this bony structure has always been described as the
uncomfortable point when sitting on a hard surface that one tries to
avoid and constant pressure at this point is very uncomfortable.

        *Note the high trim-lines
        in the groin and at the
        seat of the socket. These
        are the two main
        complaints of the
        transfemoral patient.







The Buzz socket is designed in a way that this bony structure is not
located or part of the prosthetic device without compromise. The
incorporation of vacuum technology, material science, and
expertise has made this dream a reality for many patients. Call to
find out what all the Buzz is about!
