prosthetis socket 

Receiver cavity fabrication technology

Critical in prosthetics

The prosthetic socket is an important medium connecting the residual limb and the prosthetic component. It can accommodate the residual limb and play the role of carrying the body weight, transmitting the force and controlling the prosthesis.

Prosthetic sockets must conform to anatomy and biomechanics. Prosthetic manufacturers require comfort in use and are responsible for power transmission and motion transmission functions. The design and production of sockets are a very critical part of prosthetic installation.

Amputee patients who have worn prosthetics know that the residual limb is affected by various unavoidable forces such as rotational force, frictional force, torsion force, and impact force in the receiving cavity. In addition, the residual limb has many unforced bony prominences, irregular shapes, sensitive skin and other factors, and some even serious deformation affects the alignment of the prosthesis, which should be carefully considered and solved in the design and manufacture of the prosthetic socket.

The current prosthetic sockets mostly use full-contact sockets. Compared with the traditional insertion type, there has been a significant improvement in technology. For example, the thigh sockets have changed from plug-in sockets to quadrilateral bone load-bearing sockets to bone inclusion, bone Supporting and containing the receiving cavity, Suzhou prosthetic manufacturers, especially the application of lining materials such as silicone, finger prosthetic manufacturers, have solved the ineffective forces inside the receiving cavity, and improved the force transmission performance and comfort of the receiving cavity.

The prosthesis is not a commodity but a product. Please choose to install it in an experienced rehabilitation service institution to ensure the quality of the product and the quality of installation and production, as well as to ensure follow-up services.
