A device for attaching an artificial limb to the stump of an amputated limb. The device comprises a sleeve (1, 2) intended for receiving the stump, the sleeve being in load-transferring connection with the artificial limb. The sleeve is made of a flexible material which is non-stretchable when subjected to the loads in question. The shape and volume of the sleeve are arranged to be adapted to the stump so as to obtain substantially total contact between the surface of the stump and the inner surface of the sleeve for distribution of the forces acting on the stump over the inner surface of the sleeve. For the purpose of transferring the load between the sleeve and the artificial limb a load-transferring construction (7, 8, 10) connected with the artificial limb is attached to the proximal end of the sleeve. Means (17) are also included for fixing the position of the distal end of the sleeve (1, 2) relative to the artificial limb. |
