Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A vacuum suspension system includes a pump mechanism operatively connectable to a prosthetic socket. The pump mechanism has a first member and a second member. An inflatable bladder is disposed between the first and second members. A fluid chamber is located between the first and second members and fluidly separate from the inflatable bladder. Inflation of the inflatable bladder mechanically separates the first and second parts to create a vacuum pressure in the fluid chamber.
