Hoe should customers choose ? What are their advantage and disadvantages ?

Stainless steel : This kind material is the most economical material. It is cheap and has good performance. The only drawback may be the relatively large weight.

Aluminum alloy

Mainly appear on pipe fittings and joint parts, such as prosthesis connecting pipe parts and joint parts. Aluminum alloy tubes are the most common.

Titanium alloy

It is widely used in middle and high-end prostheses. All stainless steel parts are available in titanium alloy versions, and are 30%-40% lighter than stainless steel. Do not underestimate this 30%. If all connecting parts are made of titanium alloy, the weight can be Reduced by about 300-500 grams, it will be lighter when applied to thigh prostheses. The accessories of this material are much more expensive than stainless steel, but their performance exceeds that of stainless steel, which is strong and durable.

carbon fiber

This material mainly appears in the "tube" in the connection fittings. Why do I add quotation marks? Because all the carbon fiber tubes and joints are made of other materials, such as titanium alloy, stainless steel, and aluminum alloy. This carbon fiber tube is lighter than aluminum alloy, and it is unusually hard. It is a very ideal prosthetic connecting pipe. If patients can accept the price given, they should choose this tube .
