Vacuum Integrated Pump (VIP)
The features that CPOs like best about the Vacuum Integrated Pump (VIP) are how easy it is to install and its lightness. Compared to other elevated vacuum systems available on the market, the VIP provides a more comfortably elevated level of vacuum. The low vacuum version offers a gentle elevated vacuum, bringing the benefits of this innovative suspension system even to less active amputees. The high vacuum version is ideal for more dynamic prosthetic users and users already accustomed to other elevated vacuum systems. The two versions are entirely interchangeable, making it easy to modify the level of vacuum by simply switching from one unit to the other, according to the needs and desires of the patient. Plus, it is perfect both for laminated and thermoplastic sockets, allowing complete freedom to choose the socket adapter, prosthetic foot, and prosthetic liner most suitable for the needs and lifestyle of the amputee.
