Abstract: A device for assisting taking digitisation impressions of the remaining part of an amputated limb of a patient for generating a 3D model of a femoral prosthesis socket, that includes: a base, at least two transparent tongues secured to the base and suitable for being applied against the remaining part of the amputated limb, and means for clamping said tongues on the remaining part of the amputated limb.

Abstract: An improved method for manufacturing a so-called final socket from a provisional socket, for equipping a residual limb of an amputated person. The method has a 3D modelling of the interior surface of the provisional socket that includes a 3D model of said surface in a spatial reference frame and an automatic modification of said 3D model to optimise the arrangement of an artificial limb on the final socket. The method furthermore includes optimising a digitisation step by determining an improved position of a distance-measuring tool in the provisional socket during the modelling. The invention also relates to a system for aiding the manufacture of a final socket configured to implement the method that is the object of the invention.
