Increases range of motion.* True False The Slingshot Fusion™ and Sling™ configurations can be integrated into conventional socket designs by trimming down the rigid carbon fiber frame and integrating the conforming Slingshot components within, which can make a socket with a rigid brim more comfortable.* True False The Slingshot Socket™ uses a mechanical-based adjustment mechanism to tighten the circumferential containment straps to provide A. tissue containment, B. user-adjustable volume accommodation, and C. a reduction of point pressures through its conforming hydrostatic loading.* True False The Slingshot Socket™ can accommodate for a large amount of volume change, and maintain a comfortable fit.* True False The Slingshot Socket™ provides excellent biomechanical stability and control, which often reduces dependence on assistive devices.* True False The Slingshot Socket™ can use various forms of suspension including pin, lanyard, suction, or Apex™.* True False Many amputees describe the comfort of the Slingshot Socket™ as being superior to conventional sockets because it is cooler and has a significant reduction in point pressures.* True False The Slingshot Fission™ configuration requires no fabrication and therefore can typically be fit in considerably less time than conventional socket, which increases clinical practice efficiency.* True False The Slingshot Socket™ was designed to enable amputees in the further reaches of the world to have equal access to a long-lasting comfortable socket.* True False The Slingshot Socket’s™ micro-adjustable dials provide a contoured fit that matches to the limb shape in real-time.* True False The Slingshot Socket™ is available in at least 24 color configuration options.* True False The Slingshot Socket’s™ conforming brim provides unrestricted range of motion.* True False The Slingshot Socket’s™ conforming brim provides increased sitting comfort.* True False The un-encapsulated Slingshot Socket™ allows airflow, and a cooler socket environment.* True False The Fabric Inner Sock-et™ is removable and machine washable.* True False The Slingshot Socket™ is typically lighter weight that the conventional socket counterpart.* True False The conformity of the Slingshot Socket™ allows the limb muscles to freely flex without hitting a rigid socket wall, which helps prevent muscle cramping.* True False Many Slingshot Socket™ users self-proclaim that their limb muscles feel stronger after being fit with the Slingshot Socket™, possibly due to an increase in limb muscle use with the Slingshot Socket™.* True False The Slingshot Socket™ still uses hydrostatic tissue containment, similar to conventional sockets, but with conforming materials versus unforgiving rigid carbon fiber as in conventional sockets.* True False The Carbon Fiber base is required for users over 220 lbs (100 kg), and for function level 4 users.* True False The Slingshot Socket does not come with Loctite pre-applied, and must be added prior to using the socket outside the fitting area, so that the screws are securely locked in place.* True False The Slingshot Socket™ uses the similar socket alignment as a conventional socket.* True False The Slingshot Socket’s™ brim provides greater posterior support thanks to its soft-conforming materials, thereby providing increased comfort while maintaining excellent brim-level control.* True False The Slingshot Socket’s™ anterior panel captures and controls the distal Tibia, which helps increase biomechanical stability.* True False The only tools needed to fit the Slingshot Fission™ configuration are a sharp pair of scissors, and three Allen wrenches (4mm, 3mm, and 2.5mm).* True False The Sporks should be sized correctly to prevent the anterior aspect of the limb from being able to contact the Foundation and Spine.* True False The top of the Knee Stabilizers should be positioned at the center or rotation of the knee.* True False The T-Panels are used to modularly provide distal limb containment.* True False After the ends of the webbing are cut to length, they should be slightly melted with a lighter to prevent fraying.* True False Are you interested in receiving referrals from Slingshot Bionics of amputees in your area that are interested in being fit with the Slingshot Socket™?* Yes No
