Socket-less Socket Transtibial

Transtibial and Symes Transformed

Rigid sockets are uncomfortable – so we fixed them. The ultra-comfortable Socket-less Socket™ ICON BK™ is now available for Transtibial and Symes users. Below the knee sockets no longer have to remain static in shape or trap heat. The Socket-less Socket™ conformable materials and open frame design allow the limb to flex and breathe.

Comfort of a sneaker

Shoes have laces. Shirts have buttons. Belts have buckles. Our clothes are adjustable – Shouldn’t your socket be adjustable too? Our adjustable sockets provide you full control over how your socket fits, every time you put it on.

Dynamic conformity

The human body is a mechanical marvel. Whether standing, sitting, walking, or running, our limbs dynamically change shape and contouring. We believe the socket should conform to your every move. Our patent pending soft posterior brim lets the socket conform to match your body.

As individual as you

The Socket-less Socket™ ICON BK™ can be customized to each user according to their specific and varied needs – including type of suspension, contouring, and fit. Real-time user-adjustability gives you freedom to ensure your socket fits the way you want.

Suspension-sleeve-less

Hot sweaty suspension sleeves and socks are a thing of the past. Below the knee sockets no longer require bulky suspension sleeves or socks bunching behind the knee and up the thigh. The ingenious SharkSkin Suspension™ eliminates pistoning and rotation issues found in conventional sockets.

Hammock Fit

The AirHammock™ Modular Inner Socket eliminates a rigid distal end and allows the distal tibia to float in a conforming hammock without any rigid structure to hit. Its open structure dissipates heat, maintaining a cooler socket.

What Our Icons Are Saying

I can’t believe how comfortable this socket is. My ischial seat has always been so uncomfortable, and now it is the most comfortable part of the socket.

I was so excited to bring home my new socket today! The difference in every aspect (sitting, standing, walking) is astounding. Thank you!!!!

My wife has been wearing a leg for 30+ years. This is the first leg that has fit…from day one to today. She hasn’t complained once. Usually she hates her leg days after getting it because it doesn’t fit due to volume changes. This socket fits every morning. Every single time. She can adjust it throughout the day as needed. It never is too big or too small. It’s perfect every time. Congrats Martin Bionics, you just changed prosthetics.

I had bilateral knee disarticulation performed in 1961……I have experienced everything offered in terms of AK sockets. I stand here in Martin Bionics Socket-less Sockets and I have never been so comfortable. My ischium is back on an ischial seat…..its fabric and flexible. It gives with me and gives me the support I need. Its seems like an impossible dream come true. Its conforming to my body while supporting me. Its amazing to me that I can have that kind of comfort. What I’m wearing is something I couldn’t of dreamed of.

I like the adjustability. It provides more freedom. The coolness of the socket is also a huge factor because its open. It allows more freedom. I usually go through multiple different fittings. This was much more condensed all in one.

Im a cyclist, runner, and triathlete and for the first time in 5 years as I’m riding every single pedal stroke I feel connected to my bike. I can feel every muscle working, I can feel the power going through each pedal, I can also lace up my running shoes and go for a run and feel the earth beneath me…..and you know what…It makes me feel free. It makes me feel alive. It makes me feel like Im actually a complete human being.

When I first stood up and put on the ICON BK it was instant comfort….I felt well accommodated and conformed to and comfortable. I felt a unique sensation that I never felt before in my traditional socket. I actually feel that when I’m walking the muscles in my residual limb are trying to perform the way they used to. Its a unique feeling and I’m loving it!
