A prosthetic locking liner drying hook includes a bottom grip lever extending in a generally horizontal direction; a top grip lever connected to the bottom grip lever by a first curved connecting member extending from an edge of the top grip lever to an edge of the bottom grip lever; and at least one hole extending through each of the top grip lever and the bottom grip lever. A second curved connecting member connects the top grip member to the bottom grip lever. A vertically extending plate extends upwardly from the second curved member, and at least one curtain rod hook or shower door hook projecting from the vertically extending plate; wherein the prosthetic locking liner drying hook is configured to receive a prosthetic locking liner through a prosthetic liner pin extending through the top and bottom grip levers.

The present invention relates to a prosthesis covering (100) with a closed cross-section which comprises a first section (10), a second section (20) and a third section (30). The second section (20) is arranged in longitudinal direction between the first section (10) and the third section (30) and consists of other material than the other two sections. The second section (20) may optionally at least in a first subsection (21) be folded, doubled over, raised, lamella-like or multi-layer.

A prosthetic liner for use with a prosthetic socket that has a thermoplastic elastomeric (TPE) layer that is in contact with the amputee's residual limb. The TPE layer is not uniform in thickness but has ridges to extend circumferentially around the TPE layer. A fabric exterior layer covers the outer surface of the TPE layer conforming to the ridges and is used as a substrate to form a mechanical bond to an elastomeric material. Impregnating the elastomeric material within the fabric exterior occurs by applying an uncured material to the fabric exterior layer and onto at least the apex surfaces located within the sealing regions thereby creating an air tight boundary layer when inserted into a socket. When a vacuum is applied the air is evacuated from the volume below the seal layer.

A prosthetic apparatus and system for a trans-tibial amputee consisting of a post-operative interface socket that can be adjusted to accommodate the size of an amputated limb and changes in size of the limb. The prosthetic apparatus includes a lower socket into which the post-operative socket can be inserted, the lower socket being adjustable for changes in size of the post-operative interface socket. The post-operative socket also has a removable upper back shell that immobilizes movement of the knee during an initial recovery phase but can be removed to allow the knee of the amputee to flex.

The present invention relates to absorbent articles for solving the problem of stopping the excessive accumulations of sweat from building up inside a prosthetic liner. The four layers of materials include: a first layer of a cellulose pulp material having a thickness use for a desired absorbency, a second layer of a wicking cloth material having a thickness use for a desired absorbency, a third layer of a non-toxic double side adhesive tape material one side will stick to both layer, and a fourth layer that is the opposite side which are cover with paper material that can be peeled from the third layer to adhere the inside of a prosthetic liner base sheet to stop the excessive accumulation build-up of sweating.

An electrode is supported on a prosthetic liner to communicate electrically with a residual limb. A housing is fixed to the liner, and is receivable in a socket in an installed position. A processor is installed in the housing in communication with the electrode. Electrical signal contacts are exposed at a distal end of the housing for contacting electrical signal contacts in the socket. The housing defines a ground current path that communicates with a ground contact in the socket.

A method for making a prosthetic liner includes the steps of providing a textile sleeve, applying an uncured silicone material onto an inner surface of the textile sleeve and impregnating interstices of a high-density knit structure of the textile sleeve. The silicone material is a fast-cure silicone material arranged to reach at least 90% cross-linking faster than conventional silicone material. The silicone material is preferably limited to the inner surface of the textile sleeve, whereas the outer surface is devoid of the silicone material. The silicone defines an inner layer forming the interior surface of the liner, and the outer surface of the textile sleeve forms the exterior surface of the liner. A thickness of the liner from the interior surface of the liner to the inner surface of textile layer consists of the silicone of the inner layer.

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.

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.

The invention relates to a prosthetic socket system having: a dimensionally-stable outer socket (10) having a proximal insertion opening (11) and a distal end region (12), on which outer socket a fastening element (13) for a distal prosthetic component is arranged; and a prosthetic liner (20) that can be secured in the outer socket (10) and has a distal sealing cap (21), a supporting element (30) being arranged in the outer socket (10) proximally to the distal end region (12) of the outer socket (10) and having a recess (40) for an osseointegrated coupling element (50).
