The Infinite Socket™TT-S

designed for daily
adjustments. It optimizes
knee flexion without
sacrificing performance or
aesthetics, providing new
levels of force transitions
that dynamically conform
with the patient’s every stride.

Note: The socket may need to be adjusted
multiple times throughout the day based
volume changes or activity. For example,
tightening may be required as your
activity level increases or you need to
carry any additional weight.
Adjusting Your
Socket
The Closure System
Push the BOA®dial towards
your leg and listen for a click.
Rotate the BOA®dial by
spinning the dial in a
clockwise direction.
Continue turning the BOA®
dial until the socket fits
snugly around your limb.
A good starting point is to
have less than a finger’s
width allowed to fit between
the back of the socket and
your limb.
To release the closure, pull
the BOA®dial away from your
leg.
