About V-Hold

The V-Hold microprocessor monitors the socket vacuum signature and makes real-time adjustments to the suspension to accommodate changes in activity, walking speed, terrain and even barometric pressure. This technology also improves the socket fit for lower limb amputees—both long-time and new amputees—providing better balance, stability, control. In addition, the V-Hold provides optimum suspension vacuum to maintain uniform residual limb volume throughout the day, minimizing pressure points and protecting the health of your limb.

V-Hold uses Bluetooth® technology to deliver accurate, real-time feedback to your clinician, so the optimum socket fit and function can be assured and V-Hold’s maintenance-free system is fully automated and dependable, so you can participate in whatever life has to offer with confidence and security.
