Prosthetic attachment system and corresponding lock assembly

Abstract

A prosthetic attachment system and corresponding lock assembly are provided for connecting a distal end of a prosthetic liner to a distal end of a prosthetic socket, by combining vacuum suspension and mechanical suspension. An attachment pin extends from a distal end of the prosthetic liner. A connector assembly secures to a distal end of the prosthetic socket and is adapted for receiving and locking to the attachment pin. A lanyard assembly has a first end secured to the connector assembly and a second end extending outwardly from the distal end of the prosthetic socket and adapted to secure to an exterior surface of the prosthetic socket by an external securing system.
