WARRANTY The EMS Multi-Surfaced Inner Flexible Socket is the most reliable way to ensure a patient’s prosthetic limb remains securely in place. While our proprietary material and manufacturing process has proven to produce durable inner sockets second to none, we understand that sometimes things happen. Every EMS inner socket comes with a six-month warranty which begins the day our order ships. The EMS Patented Custom Liner comes with a 30-day replacement warranty which begins the day our order ships.

If you (patient or prosthetist) suspect a material failure or fabrication defect, call us immediately at (855) 654-0858.

You may be asked to provide the following: purchase order number, serial number, date suspected defect was observed, and photos. Once the warranty exchange is approved, you will be shipped a replacement EMS Socket along with a return shipping label to send us the defective socket.

We value each and every customer and we appreciate the opportunity to assist in providing a better quality of life for amputees.

DISPUTES Disputed portions or additional change order charges shall not be cause for nonpayment or delayed payment of any undisputed portion of an invoice which is due within 30 days from the invoice date.

Attention Prosthetists:

Below is a step by step demonstration on casting your patients for the EMS Socket System.

When is a patient ready for the EMS Socket System?

Limb size stable / decrease in volume changes
Patient understands how to take care of their limb and prosthesis
Patient has been in an elevated vacuum for 1-3 months (Post Pin System)

Can I just send you a test socket for you to create a mold from?

Yes; however, we do prefer that the Prosthetist cast the patient. Wrap the upper part of the condyles and the knee while the patient is in the test socket and mark the patellar tendon line. Send it to us and we’ll produce an amazing result.

Notes on Definitive Socket lamination:

1. A light but strong lamination such as carbon and epoxy resin suited to patient weight and activity level. Remember you have an I beam effect with inner & outer socket.

2. Trimlines on a standard socket height would be: 3/8″ below inner socket (anterior and posterior).

3. Medial and lateral sides should start at apex of medial condyle.

4. These lines should gracefully flow into anterior and posterior trimlines 3/8″ below flexible inner socket. We strongly recommend inner socket trim lines not exceed 3/8″ above definitive posterior trim line.

5. Posterior trim should always be the shape of a W. Medial hamstring with slightly deeper lateral hamstring.

6. The inner flexible socket will yield to hamstring pressure so donʼt lower much.

Why Trust The EMS Socket System?

Other socket systems are rigid and non-dynamic, therefore unable to accommodate volume changes that naturally occur throughout the day. These systems use compression and pressure to hold the prosthetic in place, increasing potential for discomfort during volume changes.

The EMS System corrects this issue using increased surface area and friction coefficiency to create negative pressure and flexible load distribution, allowing the patient to comfortably maintain volume. Combined with its other features, the EMS provides amputees with a consistent and reliable connection.

With an inferior system, something as simple as sitting can be uncomfortable for an amputee. By balancing fluid changes within tissue, decreasing moisture accumulation around the skin, and accommodating for muscle movement, the EMS can provide ease, movement and freedom that other systems may not be able to.
