UNITY SYSTEM OVERVIEW
The Unity System is designed to provide elevated vacuum for socket
suspension. Expected attainable vacuum achieved by the Unity System
during normal operation ranges from 15–18 inHg or higher.
With the Unity System, assisted suspension is obtained through the act
of a pump which draws air out from the socket in each step creating an
elevated vacuum inside the socket interface.
The Unity System is designed to function in any temperature and
humidity that the user encounters during normal use.
Unity is a single patient device.
