Hi all- I'm fairly new to this as my amputation was in 2018. I am a right above knee amputee currently struggling with a lot of quality of life adjustments due to my current prosthetic/socket setup. Wanted to know if anyone has experience getting a socketlesssocket by martin bionics and how hard it was to get versus actual quality of life improvements.Thanks all.

Welcome aboard!
Above knee amputee here since 2005, I had to google "socketlesssocket by martin bionics" to be honest, first time I heard it.
Obviously I have zero experience with that, I just wonder how the heck the prosthesis stays attached to the stump (no suction like all the traditional sockets I've used).
Looks interesting though, especially for people with really bad stumps like me (there is a lot of flesh missing at the back of my stump so the bone hots the hard sockets which is paindul and very problematic). Same I live in the EU and I am pretty sure it's not available around here...
