Abstract:
A prosthetic limb heating apparatus for use with a prosthetic assembly includes a housing having a side wall that defines open upper and lower ends. The upper end is configured to receive an upper limb portion and prosthetic socket into the housing. The open lower end is configured to allow the upper limb portion to pass therethrough but not the prosthetic socket such that the prosthetic socket is nested in the interior area. An electrically conductive wire is situated on the housing and extends circuitously thereabout, the conductive wire having opposed first and second ends. A battery is coupled to the side wall of the housing and electrically connected to the first and second ends of the conductive wire so as to selectively energize the conductive wire. The conductive wire imparts heat to the prosthetic socket when the socket is nested within the housing and the conductive wire is energized.
