Vivonics Inc. products

Service members, veterans and civilians living with lower limb prostheses seek improved comfort, capability, and quality of life. Vivonics` cooling socket will reduce heat and skin damage from prolonged socket use. The cooling socket technology will provide enhanced comfort to amputees as well as mitigation of the compromise in suspension due to perspiration.

Congenital heart disease (CHD) refers to the various malformations of the heart and surrounding vessels that occur prior to birth.  Almost 1% of children are born with some form of significant CHD, and CHD remains a leading cause of infant death in the United States.  Many infants with CHD develop exuberant blood flow to their lungs that, if left untreated, will result in overwhelming congestive heart failure and death.

People with limb amputations that use a prosthesis typically have their residual limbs covered by materials that can create a warm, moist environment. The trapped heat and perspiration may lead to potential skin issues of the residual limb and compromised socket suspension.
