A prosthesis liner provided for fitting over a stump of a limb. The prosthesis liner includes a main body having an inner face directed towards the skin of the stump, and an outer face directed away from the stump. The prosthesis liner also includes a proximal access opening and a side wall, which extends from the access opening as far as a closed distal end portion of the liner. At least one sealing lip is arranged on the outer face of the main body and protrudes radially outwards from the main body.

Prosthesis liner

The invention relates to a prosthesis shaft for receiving an amputation stump of an extremity, comprising connecting means for a distal prosthesis device (), wherein the prosthesis shaft () comprises at least one shell (), which has an arched, open cross-section and the shell ends of which in the applied state overlap each other at least partially, at least one tensioning means () being disposed on the shell (), said means acting in the circumferential direction and tensioning the shell ends relative to each other, and the shell () being made of a dimensionally stable plastic having regions with varying elasticity.

Prosthesis socket and system comprising a prosthesis socket and prosthesis device

The invention relates to an orthopedic interface () comprising a planar 3D textile () having a top () and a bottom (), which are held at a distance from each other by supporting threads () and are connected to each other, wherein the bottom () of the spaced knitted fabric () is configured for resting on the skin of an interface user. The side of the bottom () facing the skin is provided with an adhesive coating () at least in some regions.

Orthopedic interface

A prosthesis socket for receiving an amputation stump has at least one shell which has an arched, open cross-section, where the shell ends in the applied state overlap each other at least partially. At least one tensioning means is disposed on the shell to act in a circumferential direction for tensioning the shell ends relative to each other. The shell is being made of a dimensionally stable plastic having regions with varying elasticity. The proximal end of the socket is relatively more flexible. The inner surface of the socket includes a direction dependent surface to aid in holding the amputation stump. A connector for the distal prosthesis is preferentially positioned adjacent the patient's greater trochanter and is configured for pivotable bearing of the prosthesis with fixing devices to secure the orientation of the prosthesis relative to the socket.

A knitted spacer fabric includes an upper textile, a lower textile and mutually crossing supporting threads arranged between the upper textile and the lower textile which connect the upper and the lower textiles to one another. Portions of the supporting threads are connected to one another at crossing points.
