A connector for fluidly connecting the sealed interior of an artificial
limb socket with a pressure source when the connector is mounted to the
socket at a hole and an artificial limb including same. The connector
includes a flexible elongated tubular section having a lumen, a flange
coupled to one end of the elongated tubular section, the flange having a
seal surface for sealingly abutting one of the socket wall surfaces
around the hole, and a tubular portion adjacent to the flange and
extending the lumen from the seal surface of the flange. Tubular portion
has at least one section oversized relative to hole which provides a
reasonable air-tight seal between the at least one section and an inner
surface of the hole or the other of said socket wall surfaces around the
hole and distant from the flange, when the tubular portion is received
within the hole.
