Apparatus and methods for three dimensional plasthesis prostheses
A prosthesis, radiation bolus, pre-surgical model, or burn mask formed using a rapid prototyping device, such as a three-dimensional printer. In some exemplary aspects, the prosthesis includes a scaffolding and a coating at least partially covering the scaffolding. Methods and systems for forming the prosthesis, radiation bolus, pre-surgical model, or burn mask are also provided.
METHOD FOR PRODUCING A BREAST PROSTHESIS HAVING AN ADJUSTABLE VOLUME
The invention relates to a method for producing a breast prosthesis (1) having an adjustable volume, wherein the breast prosthesis comprises a first shell body (10), a second shell body (20) which is circumferentially connected thereto, and a fluid chamber (30) arranged between the shell bodies, wherein the method comprises the following steps: (a) peripherally connecting four plastic films to provide a template comprising three chambers; (b) filling the upper and lower chambers with a crosslinkable silicone filler; and (c) crosslinking the silicone filler.
ENVELOPING BODY AND METHOD FOR DETECTING A CONTOUR OF AN AMPUTATION STUMP
The invention relates to an enveloping body for at least partially recording a contour of a limb, wherein the enveloping body has a base body, and at least one sensor that is configured to record measurement data which can be used to determine a distance and/or relative position between two points in or on the base body.
METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING PORTIONS OF A PROSTHETIC SOCKET AND KIT
The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing or for planning the manufacturing of a prosthetic shaft, of an inner shaft of an outer shaft and/or of an extension of the prosthetic shaft, wherein the prosthetic shaft is provided for receiving a limb stump of a patient. In addition, the present invention relates to a prosthetic shaft and a kit. Furthermore, a computing system, a digital storage medium, a computer program product as well as a computer program are proposed.
ORTHOPEDIC PROSTHETIC DEVICE AND METHOD OF USE THEREIN
An improved prosthesis and method for construction that utilizes at least a moldable material, footplate, and prosthetic portion to make a rapidly usable prosthetic specifically contoured to an interfacing region of an amputated appendage. The moldable material can generally be in the form of a multiple part material that is combined together to form a body safe and hardened material configured for placement on a specifically adapted surface, such as a footbed for placement within footwear.
Prosthetic socket systems and methods
Systems and methods are described herein for a prosthetic device that includes a premade outer shell socket with an inner surface contour. A prosthetic insert socket is manufactured via a manufacturing process, such as three-dimensional printing, to have an outer contour that corresponds to the inner surface contour of the premade outer shell socket. The prosthetic insert socket is manufactured to have an inner contour that corresponds to a residual limb surface contour of a patient.
Adjustable prosthetic interfaces and related systems and methods
Prosthesis devices can include sockets having adjustable features. In one example, a socket includes one or more panels that can move outwardly or inwardly relative to a receptacle portion of the socket. The panels can be moved by tightening a tensioning line.
Three dimensional print method and part
A prosthetic socket for a prosthetic limb is provided. The prosthetic socket comprises a socket body and a first and second structural members. The socket body comprises a distal end and a top edge opposite the distal end. The distal end comprises a prosthetic component attachment mechanism. The top edge comprises a medial fin, a lateral fin, a posterior edge and an anterior edge. The first and second structural members each include a first straight portion, a second straight portion, and a first arch portion. The first structural member is disposed on a medial exterior surface of the socket body and the second structural member is disposed on an lateral exterior surface of the socket body.
Systems and methods for orthosis design
The present disclosure is related to systems and methods for orthosis design. The method includes obtaining a three-dimensional (3D) model associated with a subject. The method includes obtaining one or more reference images associated with the subject. The method includes determining, based on the 3D model and the one or more reference images, orthosis design data for the subject. The orthosis design data may be used to determine an orthosis for the subject.
UNIBODY ENDOSKELETAL TRANSTIBIAL PROSTHETIC DEVICES AND DIGITAL FABRICATION WORKFLOW
A unibody transtibial prosthetic device includes a socket personalized for a specific patient's residual limb. A pylon extends from the socket, the pylon being a unitary polymer structure of interconnected elongated supports having open spaces therebetween. The device also includes a foot-ankle complex, the foot-ankle complex being a unitary polymer extending from the pylon, the foot and ankle unitary structure being shaped to provide multi-axial dynamic flex to enable dorsiflexion, plantar flexion, inversion and eversion motion for smooth symmetric gait performance and energy capture and return. The socket, pylon and foot-ankle complex are portions of a unibody.
