Ellis® Socket Options
Advantage of use of the Ellis® prosthetic components in combination with a humerus socket are the easy donning/doffing, including a significantly more easy exchange of elbows.

HUMERAL SOCKET
EASY DONNING-DOFFING
A big advantage of combining the Ellis® MC34 Connector with a humeral socket is the more easy donning/doffing – by use of one arm.
Exchangeing of mechanical end terminals during the day is also less cumbersome. A dedicated Ellis® HSA 50 LAM adapter is available to prepare a humerus socket for use with the Ellis® MC34 Connector and prosthesis.
Do you want to keep using the current elbow, this is also an option. You will need a dedicated Connector-base in customized length to fixate it to.

In case you want to benefit from a light-weight Ellis A2-3-4 Elbow combined with a specific brand myo-hand; consider use of Ellis CW4EL Contact-wire kit – this elbow wire-kit ensures seamless integration of cables.
