How to choose a prosthesis made of different materials ?

     Life is not easy, and accidents are inevitable. Prosthesis is a good device. For amputees, with the continuous advancement of modern technology, it can restore the ability of people to take care of themselves. The process of choosing a prosthesis In order to ensure comfort, how to choose reasonably?

    The receiving cavity is an important connection medium between the amputee's body and the auxiliary equipment, and it is necessary to pay attention to it. Generally, the manufacturing materials of the bearing cavity can be divided into three types, namely cast resin, thermoplastic sheet and carbon fiber bearing cavity. Different materials have different characteristics, and you need to make a reasonable choice based on your own specific circumstances.

    Among them, the common type casting resin bearing cavity is characterized by high strength, light weight, long life, and is not affected by the climatic environment when worn. The defects are: the process is messy, the technical difficulty is high, and the price is more expensive than the plate. There is a 1 in 10,000 allergy rate.

    The characteristic of the thermoplastic plate bearing cavity is that the inner bearing cavity is made of a flexible plate and then has the characteristics of being suitable for the muscle tension of the residual limb when walking, comfortable to wear and easy to clean. The defects are: easily affected by temperature, climate, oxidation, deformation, short use cycle, only white.

    The characteristics of the carbon fiber bearing cavity are: high strength, high temperature resistance, and no deformation due to temperature and climate. Defects: high cost, expensive, not wear-resistant.
