Abstract
The invention includes an osseointegrated mount and electrical connector, suitable for providing neural control and sensory feedback for an advanced prosthetic limb. The device provides a channel in which a lead wire from the peripheral nerve interface can travel from the electrical connector down the side of the device or within the device to limit potential sites of infection to a single transcutaneous breach. The channel allows for a silicone barrier to be installed between the internal and external components.
