Direct Socket TT

Course Overview

Discover a faster, more efficient approach to transtibial socket fabrication with this interactive, hands on Össur Academy course, designed to build your confidence and practical skills in the Direct Socket TT System.

Direct Socket TT is an innovative technique that allows clinicians to fabricate a definitive prosthetic socket directly onto the user's residual limb, with the entire process taking less than two hours. Its streamlined fabrication process makes it a valuable solution for a range of clinical environments, including remote clinics and hospital settings.

Combining expert led demonstrations with extensive practical training, this course gives participants the opportunity to explore the Direct Socket TT system, understand compatible suspension options and gain hands on experience fabricating and fitting sockets on patient models.
