True False The Slingshot Socket’s™ brim uses conforming materials that A. match to the limb shape in real-time, B. provides an ultra-comfortable form-fitting brim, and C. eliminates a rigid ischial seat. 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 and containment straps 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 full ischial containment, though with soft-conforming materials, thereby providing increased comfort while maintaining excellent brim-level control. True False The Slingshot Socket’s™ lateral panel captures and controls the distal Femur, 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 ensure the limb fits within the exoskeleton medial to lateral. For larger limbs, the limb’s soft tissue can be slightly compressed medial to lateral, and for thinner limbs or those with sensitive distal femurs, you can leave space between the lateral aspect of the limb and the Spine so that there is no rigid structure to contract. True False The top of the Spine should be positioned about 2 inches (5cm) above the trochanter. 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
