Abstract: A prosthesis system includes a liner made of an electrically non-conducting liner material, which is intended to be pulled over an amputation stump, at least one electrode, which has at least one contact surface, and a prosthesis socket, which is intended to be arranged on the amputation stump. The at least one electrode is arranged on the inner face of the prosthesis socket, at least one area of the liner has a multiplicity of lead-throughs from the inner face to the outer face made of an electrically conducting material arranged in the liner material, and the at least one contact surface of the at least one electrode is intended to come into contact with at least one lead-through during use.

Abstract: The invention relates to a liner (16) for a prosthesis, which liner (16) has a proximal opening, for receiving an amputation stump, and a distal end lying opposite the proximal opening, and it is produced from a liner material (4), wherein a longitudinal direction of the liner (16) extends from the proximal opening to the distal end, and a circumferential direction runs perpendicular to the longitudinal direction, wherein the liner (16) has a plurality of fibres (6), which are made from an inelastic material and are arranged in such a way that a lengthening of the liner (16) in the longitudinal direction results in a shortening of the liner (16) in the circumferential direction, and vice versa, wherein the liner (16) has non-slip means (26) which, when the liner (16) is fitted in place, prevent the liner (16) from slipping on the amputation stump.

Abstract: The invention relates to a prosthesis shaft for receiving an amputation stump of an extremity, comprising connecting means for a distal prosthesis device (2), wherein the prosthesis shaft (1) comprises at least one shell (11, 12), 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 (14, 15) being disposed on the shell (11, 12), said means acting in the circumferential direction and tensioning the shell ends relative to each other, and the shell (11, 12) being made of a dimensionally stable plastic having regions with varying elasticity.

Abstract: The invention relates to an orthopedic interface (1) comprising a planar 3D textile (2) having a top (22) and a bottom (21), which are held at a distance from each other by supporting threads (24) and are connected to each other, wherein the bottom (21) of the spaced knitted fabric (2) is configured for resting on the skin of an interface user. The side of the bottom (21) facing the skin is provided with an adhesive coaling (23) at least in some regions.

Abstract: A liner for a prosthesis, which liner has a proximal opening, for receiving an amputation stump, and a distal end lying opposite the proximal opening. The liner is produced from a liner material, wherein a longitudinal direction of the liner extends from the proximal opening to the distal end, and a circumferential direction runs perpendicular to the longitudinal direction. The liner has a plurality of fibers, which are made from an inelastic material and are arranged in such a way that a lengthening of the liner in the longitudinal direction results in a shortening of the liner in the circumferential direction, and vice versa. The liner has non-slip features which, when the liner is fitted in place, prevent the liner from slipping on the amputation stump.

Abstract: 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.
