Meet Kinn® by Vessl Prosthetics
A prosthetic socket system designed to adapt as you walk.
Your prosthesis can feel snug when you put it on in the morning and loose by the time you’re out running errands. Kinn® is a mechanical system built into a custom prosthetic socket to help maintain a more consistent fit as the size of your residual limb changes throughout the day.
When a good fit changes during the day
The socket is the part of your prosthesis that fits around your residual limb. As your limb changes in size, a socket that felt comfortable earlier can start to move or feel less secure. You might pause to add a prosthetic sock, check the fit, or make another adjustment before getting back to what you were doing. If this happens often, keeping your prosthesis comfortable can become a task you plan your day around.
Why talk about adjustable fit now?
If you keep adjusting your fit during everyday activities, bring a few specific examples to your next prosthetic appointment. How often do you change socks? When does the socket start to feel loose? Those details can help you and your prosthetist discuss whether an adjustable socket system is worth exploring.
How Kinn® works
Wondering whether Kinn® could work for you?
Ask your prosthetist how it would fit into your prosthetic setup and how it would work with the way you move throughout the day.
Kinn® uses the motion of walking to make small adjustments. With each step, a vertical shock absorber compresses. That motion powers a mechanical system that draws custom socket panels inward as needed, up to a limit set by your prosthetist. A side dial lets you tighten the fit manually when putting on your prosthesis or making an adjustment. The system is fully mechanical and requires no charging.
