Patients don't always speak up when their socket isn't fitting right. But the signs are there. 👀

Volume fluctuation is part of prosthetic use, but how patients respond to it often goes unspoken. They adapt, compensate, and minimize discomfort instead of reporting it directly. Over time, those quiet adjustments add up, and they affect mobility, energy, and independence.

The challenge for prosthetists is recognizing the patterns. Not every patient will say, "My socket doesn't fit." Most will just work around it until it becomes a bigger problem.

Worth paying attention to what's happening between appointments, not just what's reported during them.

Socket fit isn't just comfort. It's clinical outcomes. 🦿

A socket that fits properly keeps patients active, prevents complications, and reduces the time they spend in your waiting room. That's why we built Kinn to adjust automatically.

Our co-founder, Sydney Robinson, judged pitches at the True North Biomedical Competition last Saturday. 🎯

True North is Canada's first long-term biomedical engineering competition, where universities compete to create MedTech devices based on real case studies. Ten universities pitched their solutions at Western, and the creativity and problem-solving on display were impressive.

Fun fact: Fadi El-Richani, currently working with us at Vessl, is one of the co-founders of True North. Proud to see him building platforms for the next generation while contributing to what we're building here.
Congratulations to everyone who competed. 🙌

Manual vs. auto-adjusting sockets. What is the real difference?

Some users prefer full control with manual adjustments. Others want a system that adapts automatically throughout the day. Both approaches have strengths and trade-offs.

If you are navigating prosthetic leg socket problems or exploring adjustable socket options, this breakdown will help.

Meet Fadi, our Mechanical Engineering Intern. 🛠️

Fadi joined Vessl in April 2025 as a Mechanical Engineering Intern. He's been working on the prototyping and testing that turns engineering concepts into devices prosthetists can actually use. The hands-on work, the problem-solving, the iteration, that's where he thrives.

What keeps him here? The people and the mission. He'll tell you it's rare to find both at the same time, and he's not wrong. When you're building something that genuinely improves lives, it changes how you show up to work.

We're lucky to have him on the team. 🙌

Mechanical doesn't mean manual. Automatic doesn't mean electronic. 🔧

Our co-founder, Sydney Robinson, joined Brent Wright on The Prosthetics & Orthotics Podcast to talk about the difference between mechanical and electrical systems in prosthetics and how Kinn fits into that conversation.

Kinn is fully mechanical. No sensors, no batteries, no motors. But it adjusts automatically. How? It uses walking motion and shock absorption to dynamically adjust the prosthetic socket's volume. The user's own movement powers the adjustment.

It's a continuous process that happens throughout the day without any input from the patient. Mechanical precision, doing what electronics often try to replicate, but with zero charging, zero calibration, and zero maintenance.

Long week, good game, better company. 🏒

The team went to watch the St. Mary's Lincolns play last Friday. After a packed few weeks, it was the perfect way to step away and reset.

No work talk. No timelines. Just good hockey and good people.

Here's to more nights like this. 🙌

We would like to share an important article with Cassandra Delgado, Coyote Prosthetics & Orthotics, in the O&P Almanac on GLP 1 weight loss medications and what they mean for prosthetic care.

“Adjustable sockets are a valuable tool for patients on weight loss journeys.”

That line captures a bigger shift happening in clinics right now.
According to Cass’s survey, 74 percent of prosthetists reported increases in socket adjustments, warranty remakes, or additional check sockets related to weight loss medications. Yet only 4 percent had received education on these drugs.

“It definitely told me overwhelmingly that there’s a gap in this knowledge.”

This is not just about weight loss. It is about education, coordination, and making sure our technology keeps pace with patient change.

Thank you, Cass, for bringing data and clarity to this conversation.
