Not all locks are created equal.
Is it possible that there’s a better lock than one designed 20 years ago? Are the cheapest locks going to work as well, as long, or as smoothly as newer innovations?
The Air-Lock is a dual suspension pin system designed to combine suction suspension comfort with pin suspension safety and security. The airtight seal of the Air-Lock prevents air from coming into the bottom of the socket, creating a negative pressure inside the socket (suction), which reduces pistoning regardless of the location of the pin. This also allows for less traction on the limb for increased comfort and decreased liner wear.
Sometimes the only thing that can be saved is time. Vacuum form over the mold, lock and Fast Four Connector to create a fast, inexpensive, airtight test socket. Use for a extended test period or as a shower leg.

LOCK PIN NOTE: Because of the airtight feature, the socket is held on by suction, rather than with excessive amounts of traction. This allows for less elongation in the sockets and reduces the need for a long pin.
