What it was
Aquilonix was the first product concept of Leto Solutions. The archived page described it as a cooling and heat-removal system for people with below-knee (transtibial) amputations, meant to keep the surface between the limb and the socket cool and dry. This summary reports the company’s own description; it is not a medical recommendation and the claims have not been tested here.
How it was described
- A thermoelectric element creates a cooler zone inside the socket and carries heat away.
- A prosthetist fits it when a new socket is made.
- Two elements sit on the side and rear of the socket.
- The unit weighs under two pounds and runs from rechargeable batteries.
- The wearer turns it on and off with a switch.
- The design was intended to be quiet, safe and low in maintenance.
Status in the archive
The page said commercial availability was expected in early 2016. The archive does not confirm that the product reached the market.
