- Click Medical and BOA come together to develop the Revofit adjustable socket system for all types of amputees. This video is is intended to give the end user or amputee a better idea of what an adjustable socket is, how they work, and what the benefits really are after amputation. Renee Shadley is an amputee bka learning the ropes, and trying to help others along the way. This leg was built by Pacific Medical Inc, in Bend Oregon, and they did an awesome job!
Thank you, Renee. Amazing information. I am a new bka visiting the prosthesis next month for the first time. Really excited about that. I am gonna ask about this for sure. Your video truly inspires me. Thank you. I am in awe of your support system. Your hubby is INCREDIBLE. I would really enjoy knowing what life is like now for you here on youtube. (2020). Continued blessings to you, your family, and those around you that support this lifestyle. I get so inspired watching your information about being a bka. Take care, and what I have learned is the COMEBACK is ALWAYS GREATER than the SETBACK. Happy holidays.
Im really excited about this product. I am 6 months post op and struggling with volume changing throughout the day. Thanks for highlighting this...

J&W Produtions I think it is an awesome system even if you have minimal volume change. I hope things go smoothly for you if you have any other questions please feel free to reach out.
Jack what caused you to become an amputee ? I'm having trouble with my huge swelling in both of my legs . I'm so afraid of becoming a double amputee . I will be 70 onMay 19th . Any info & suggestions will be greatly appreciated . Thank You Jack !
@@bobshaw4063hi Bob, I’m curious if things are going better for you? I’m at 5 years post surgery bka and still having trouble. On my 3rd prosthetist. I hope all is going well.
Thanks for this video. I'm a RAK with a seal in suction suspension. I undergo radical volume changes throughout the day, despite having been walking for 2 years. I just started a career as an X-Ray Tech at a GIANT hospital, so it's been driving me nuts to have to scurry to the bathroom and fiddle around with ply throughout the day. My prosthetist showed me an example of a revo socket a couple weeks ago, and my further research brought me here. I think this is going to be the direction that I go in to help me maintain my fit throughout a busy and physical work day.
Evan R I've been through 3 RevoFit sockets so far, and they were all built a little different, each prosthetist may have a little different idea on how the system should work as well, feel free to reach out and ask more questions, if you need more information
I suspect that I will want a movable plate on the lateral wall, because that's where it feels best to add padding. But I also need the entire upper brim to close. I might be able to get away with only 2 knobs.

Great video. Thank you.
Congratulations to your new foot, it's the most modern, you could get, better than mine.
Massimo Lucio, it was a fight to get, but with the help of my prosthetist and Pacific Medical, we pulled it off!
I've been looking for something like this.
Question: I am very active. Running, biking, skiing, etc. The shape of my limb is an hourglass. My current socket is designed that I have to "jam" my lower limb through the socket so I can get a tight fit.
Would this allow a socket to be loose enough for me to get in an out, yet secure enough for extreme activity? (Like racquetball and running?)
These sockets can be built several different ways, one way is to build it like a clam shell to make donning your prosthesis much easier, also look into the revofit lanyard, vs a pin, the lanyard draws your leg into the socket naturally lengthening and narrowings your residual limb, vs squashing and thickening like the pin lock
Did you get a lot of pistoning with your leg? That was the only thing I couldn’t stand about pin lock. Not sure if this could work with suction or with seal in legs like what I have.
The revofit lanyard, functions similar to a pin lock once in your socket, so yes some of the same pistoning problems exist. A Revo fit socket simply adjusts to take up volume instead of using socks
There are ways to use a revofit socket with suction or vacuum and I think that would be awesome
Hi I just found this system today. I’ve been amputee BKa since 2005. I’m 51yo but decent shape. I’ve tried Ottobock Harmony which is the best feeling of it being part of me. Downside not much flexion. Hard to bend.
I had a pin socket in beginning and had many socks. Sores. I’ve tried vacuum systems I use now mostly like ossurs where you have a ring that you pull up as you lose volume. It works pretty good. But you do have adjust throughout day.
My main issue has always been volume loss as day goes on. Do you think this is a good system for a seasoned amputee or only new amputee?
I wonder could it work with my seal in system seems it could. Without the pin.
Do you still use it or moved on?
Thank you!!!!!
My advice is only go with this system if your prosthetist is confident in using it and uses it regularly. It's great but needs to be understood for a great outcome
Way to go renee
Thank you very much
I have a hard enough time getting my pant leg over my socket with jeans or khaki pants that don’t stretch. I don’t think I could with that big knob sticking out.
Other than that, I really think I need this.
That knob can go anywhere, in fact most of my next sockets had it down low on the interior side of my socket and it was much lower profile.
The dials can be placed anywhere on the socket, and this was only one of the different configurations I have used. But I agree these systems can get bulky if not done right
Hey Renee do you still like revofit sockets? I change volume quite a bit throughout the day and my prosthetist mentioned it to me. Can you wear a sleeve with them?
I do still like revofit sockets, but I am not currently using one, my volume stays pretty consistent, and without the Revofit system I can wear a much lighter and less bulky socket. The most noticeable difference in the two setups is that I don't have or need a flexible inner liner. Yes you can still wear a sleeve, but a suction or vacuum system is harder to build around a revofit setup.
@@ReneeShadley thank you for response. 👍 I am close to a year post amputation and still having quite a bit of pain in some areas. I don’t think it would be as bad if my volume didn’t fluctuate so much. Hopefully it evens out here soon.
hi ya how did you get it as iv been after this for a long time but my prosthesis keeps making stupid excuses in mu case i fluctuate a lot so during the day i keep putting socks on so it makes it hotter then more socks makes it hotter, my idea was using the revo to stop using socks keeping it cooler and i can change the shape of the socket as my leg changes..what did you say to get one???
This socket worked out great while I was fluctuating especially for the first six months after my amputation, I didn't need socks for about 5 months
I found a prosthetist who was on board
I realize this is 5 years old, but if anyone has used this socket, how often (if at all) do you find yourself putting in new hardware such as the knob system, the string, etc.?
I would say once or twice a year, however it is very dependant on how your system is actually built and the stresses that are introduced if not built correctly.
This limbs how much price??
Not sure, most everything was covered by insurance
And it's 100% waterproof?
Yes it is!
I think, this prosthesis is very expensive. Who payed for it? your insurance? Obamacare? you for yourself? As I remember you broke your ankle, and then you decided to amputate your leg. That's a hard decision, isn't it?
Massimo Lucio yes my insurance did pay, but it was a fight... We had to prove the medical necessity in why and how it was going to benefit me as a new amputee. I did break my ankle very badly when I was 17 and with many failed attempts to fix the problem and countless surgeries over the last 23 years I was out of options. I was given two options, 1. Live off of pain medication or 2. Amputation and regain your life back. Yes this was a very hard decision, this decision was life altering, but I didn't want to live off of pain medication and I have 3 children and a husband who needed me. They didn't need a mom and wife that was a zombie sitting in a chair all doped up on pain medication.
This leg looks really cool, and it is, but the build cost is actually pretty reasonable. The socket is a standard carbon fiber socket, no skin tones, no cosmetic work, no cages or covers, the only addition is the RevoFit system that does add some fabrication costs, but in actual hard goods, the cost is small, especially since this adjustable socket will last longer and not need to be replaced as soon as a traditional socket. The lock system is a traditional pin lock which is entry level in pricing. Finally the RUSH foot, from Ability Dynamics, is by no means the most expensive foot on the market, but the range of activities that it can be used for is huge. So while I don't know the whole cost, I can say that even though it looks shiny it is by no means the most expensive or advanced prosthetic leg out there.
I am fascinated by your new leg, it's a high-tech-prosthesis, and I wish you, you can walk around as normal.
