How to use prosthesis gel socks

How to use prosthesis gel socks？ Wearing: Roll the gel sock together from top to bottom, place it on the end of the residual limb and unfold it flatly with both hands. The gel sock should be directly attached to the skin of the residual limb, and no wrinkles and gaps are allowed     Take off:  Roll up the gel sock from the open end to the end, and remove it from the residual limb.   Gel socks may become sticky when worn for a long time. To prevent stickiness, apply talcum powder on the gel surface. When the gel socks are not breathable, you can add silk stockings to the residual limbs and then wear the gel socks, which not only plays a role in isolation but also increases breathability.   Cleaning and maintenance of gel socks In order to avoid damage to the product, do not rub or wring out during washing   Gel sock should be washed by hand in warm water with neutral detergent (30 degrees)     Place the gel sock on a clothes hanger with the gel side facing out or put it on a fixed object to air dry.   Choice of gel socks The choice of gel sock size depends on the length and girth of the residual limb. The length of the stump refers to the length from the lower edge of the patella to the end of the stump. The gel length of the gel sock should be higher than the edge of the prosthesis  receiving cavity.     Warning: The product can only be in contact with unbroken skin during use. This product is a consumable product. It is recommended to purchase multiple purchases at a time and use it alternately.

Orthopedic fixed brace specially provided for patients with paraplegic and cerebral palsy

  Orthopedic fixed brace specially provided for patients with paraplegic and cerebral palsy   Refers to the restoration of the normal shape and structure of the human body through surgery.     Most insurance companies list it as an exclusion of liability for corrective operations that are caused by accidental injuries or diseases that cause bones, joints, tendons, nerves, blood vessels and other organs and tissues to deform. Some insurance products also list them as insurance liabilities.     For corrective surgery for deformities and deformations caused by congenital diseases and genetic diseases, insurance companies usually take them as exemptions, because congenital diseases and genetic diseases are risks that exist before the insurance, and the orthopedic costs incurred are not It is an insurable risk, such as the correction of diseases such as congenital clubfoot, hip dislocation, scoliosis, and torticollis.     Orthopedic fixation products and protective gear can help users with physical disabilities regain freedom of movement. Shijiazhuang Aosuo fixation products can assist the healing of ligaments, joints and bones after injuries. In the case of injuries, they can help maintain limb function and reduce pain. Generally speaking, these products are designed to effectively support and assist doctors in their treatment. Orthopedic fixation products for paralyzed limbs are specially produced by orthopedic technicians, and become common appliances for patients with single or both legs with paraplegia/hemiplegia.   shijiazhuang aosuo o&p

More expensive, the better it works?

More expensive, the better it works?   Amputees should fully take into consideration when choosing prosthetic limbs, such as age, weight, physical health, living environment, working nature, residual limb condition (length, soft tissue condition, residual limb muscle strength, scar condition), etc on, rather than blindly pursuing high prices. Some high-priced prosthetic joints perform well, but not for all people. The effect of wearing prosthetic limbs is not only related to the types of prosthetic parts, but also closely related to the physical condition of the amputee, the stump condition, prosthetic maker level, patient training and many other factors. At present, there is also a common misunderstanding in China, that is, pay great importance to the types and functions of parts, despise the training of residual limbs, despise the training after wearing prosthetic limbs. In our experience, it is very necessary to train the residual limbs before installing them and after installing the prosthesis, which can greatly improve the use of amputees after wearing the prosthesis.   shijiazhuang aosuo o&p

Can a prosthetic limb be worn for a lifetime?

Can a prosthetic limb be worn for a lifetime?   At present, the international standard is that prosthetic parts have been tested through 3 million dynamic intensity tests without destruction. Generally, ordinary amputees walk about 3000 steps a day, walk about 1 million steps a year, prosthetic parts have undergone 3 million dynamic strength tests without destruction, and the warranty of parts is only two to three years. As for the specific life span of the prosthesis, it is also different, which has a lot to do with everyone's use. It is conceivable that a person walks a lot every day in a prosthetic limb, and the other person wears a prosthetic limb working mainly in the office, and the service life of the prosthetic limb is certainly different.   shijiazhuang aosuo o&p

No prosthetic cannot be installed a year after amputation?

No prosthetic cannot be installed a year after amputation?   The hydroncus after amputation, atrophy after prosthetic installation?  However, prosthetic limbs should be installed as soon as possible to promote the shaping of the residual limbs, laying the foundation for the installation of formal prosthetic limbs。 Before installing prosthetic limbs, it was best to wrap the residual limbs with the elastic bandage for a period of time. The purpose of wrapping the elastic bandage is to promote the return of tissue fluid of the residual limbs, promote the finalization of the residual limbs, and after wearing temporary prosthetic limbs will not atrophy too fast.  When winding the elastic bandage, we must pay attention to the pressure of the bandage gradually decreasing from the distal end to the proximal end of the residual limb. The proximal end of the residual limb should not be wound too tight, otherwise it will hinder the return of the tissue fluid of the residual limb.   shijiazhuang aosuo o&p

What are the functions of orthopedic insoles

What are the functions of orthopedic insoles The purpose of treatment of foot rheumatoid arthritis is to relieve pain, prevent and correct deformities, and restore and preserve functions. The simple definition of orthopedic insoles is a cushion that can be placed in the shoe to correct and adjust the walking posture. It is designed and developed with longitudinal arch support through the study of plantar biomechanics and foot pathological changes in the body's biological force line. Function mat.   Orthopedic insoles correct and improve walking gait and posture by supporting the arch of the foot. Redistribute plantar pressure. Orthopedic insoles can be divided into hard support pads, soft support pads and semi-rigid based on their functions and different materials. Orthopedic pads. The design of the rigid orthopedic pad is mainly to control the function of the foot. Its material texture is mainly made of plastic and carbon fiber, which can be used in various shoes. According to the length of rigid insoles, it is divided into two types: one is full length, that is, from heel to toe; the other is 3/4 length, which is made of different length insoles according to different problems of the foot. The design of rigid insoles is generally not deformed, in addition, it is not easy to damage due to the choice of materials. The role of hard insoles is to achieve the treatment of foot diseases by controlling the movement of the joints. It mainly controls two joints of the foot, one is the ankle joint. Through the support of the arch, it improves the non-parallel force of the ankle joint, increases its stability, and reduces the trauma of the ankle joint; the other is to control the small joints of the tarsal bone. Motor function, reduce its strain and prevent the occurrence of traumatic inflammation. In addition, sprains and pains of the lower limbs are often caused by the abnormal function of the feet leading to changes in the biological force lines of the lower limbs. In this case, orthopedic insoles can eliminate these symptoms by improving the biological force lines of the lower limbs. Soft orthopedic pads are usually made of soft, compressible materials, and can adapt to the shape of the foot at any time during activities without causing any pressure on the foot. Any good soft cushion design can better adapt to the shape of the foot. It can absorb shocks, increase balance, buffer the pressure of weight-bearing, and relieve the pressure caused by strenuous exercise. In addition, it can reduce the concentrated force on a certain point of the sole of the foot. The disadvantage of soft orthopedic pads is that they are easily compressed and deformed and are easily worn out. They must be replaced regularly. Because it can be compressed, it can be applied to all kinds of shoes and provide more space for toes. Semi-rigid orthopedic pads provide good dynamic balance for the feet during activities and walking. This kind of insole not only has a good arch support function, can make the foot in a normal functional position, so that the muscles and tendons can better play their sports role, but also can adapt to the shape of the foot well without causing any damage to the foot. pressure. This kind of semi-rigid orthopedic insole not only has certain functionality, but also has a good protective effect on the feet.
