By discharging the air inside the socket, compatibility between the socket and the amputated part of the patient is ensured. By this means, the patient feels his/her prosthesis more lightly, the piston flow (entrance - exit) likely to occur in the socket is stopped, the patient is ensured to continue his/her life for a long time actively, and the reaction force of the ground starting with stepping on the ground during walking of the patient is absorbed.
A connector rotating 360 degrees is used for the modular connection of the air suction line to the apparatus according to the invention in the socket application.
