VIP is an air expulsion integrated pump for elevated vacuum for prosthetic socket. The use of VIP provides patients continuous total contact when donning the prosthesis.
This is essential for an even weight distribution and to distribute the suspension of the prosthesis over the whole surface of the residual limb.
Elevated vacuum created by the VIP stabilizes the residual limb,
overcoming all issues connected with the stump changing volume during the day.
