Adjustable Prosthetic Sockets
Featuring the RevoFit® Adjustable Socket System
Advanced Socket Fit. Designed Around You.
At Falk Prosthetics & Orthotics, we understand that comfort begins with the socket. Adjustable prosthetic sockets are designed to adapt as your residual limb changes throughout the day, helping improve comfort, stability, and confidence. The RevoFit® system uses a dial-based lacing mechanism that allows you to adjust the compression and fit of your socket in real time—often without removing your prosthesis.
What Is an Adjustable Prosthetic Socket?
An adjustable prosthetic socket includes built-in panels, cables, or closure systems that allow the user to fine-tune how the socket fits throughout the day. This is especially helpful because limb volume can change due to activity, temperature, fluid shifts, and time of day. With RevoFit®, users can tighten or loosen the socket with a simple turn of a dial.
Benefits of the RevoFit® System
Real-Time Fit Control
Adjust your socket throughout the day without removing your prosthesis.
Improved Comfort
Reduce pressure points by fine-tuning compression where you need it most.
Better Stability
A secure fit helps improve balance, control, and confidence while walking.
Daily Adaptability
Loosen the socket while sitting, then tighten it for walking or activity.
Supports Limb Health
A more consistent fit may help reduce rubbing, irritation, and skin issues.
Greater Independence
Manage small fit changes on your own instead of relying only on socks or office adjustments.
“Adjustable sockets reduce instability by maintaining intimate limb-socket contact throughout daily volume changes, thereby improving confidence, safety, and mobility.” ¹
Who Can Benefit?
Adjustable sockets may be ideal for prosthetic users who experience volume changes, discomfort, pressure points, or difficulty maintaining a secure fit throughout the day. They may also be helpful for active patients who want more control over their prosthetic comfort during work, exercise, travel, or everyday movement.
“A robust body of peer-reviewed research demonstrates that adjustable prosthetic sockets improve residual limb fluid volume management, reduce skin injury risk, enhance stability, and support greater functional use compared to static socket designs.” ¹
Frequently Asked Questions About Adjustable Prosthetic Sockets
What makes RevoFit® different from a traditional socket?
Traditional sockets have a fixed shape. RevoFit® allows users to adjust socket compression with a dial as their limb changes throughout the day.
Can I adjust the socket while wearing my prosthesis?
Yes. RevoFit® is designed for easy adjustment while the prosthesis is being worn.
Does an adjustable socket replace prosthetic socks?
It may reduce the need for frequent sock changes, although some users may still use socks depending on their fit and volume needs.
Am I a candidate for an adjustable socket?
Many prosthetic users can benefit from adjustability. Your prosthetist will evaluate your limb shape, activity level, skin health, and goals.
