  • Patent number: 12036136
    Abstract: Systems and methods are described herein for a prosthetic device that includes a rigid outer shell socket with an inner surface contour. A prosthetic insert socket is manufactured via a manufacturing process, such as three-dimensional printing, to have an outer contour that corresponds to the inner surface contour of the premade outer shell socket. The prosthetic insert socket is manufactured to have an inner contour that corresponds to a residual limb surface contour of a patient.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7854713
    Abstract: A cranial orthosis may be used to re-shape a child's cranium. The cranial orthosis includes an inner layer and a resistance piece. The inner layer is made of silicone and grips the patient's head such that the inner layer does not move once it is positioned on the child's head. The resistance piece encircles the inner layer and is made of plastic. The resistance piece may not contact the patient's head. The resistance piece is attached to the inner layer. The resistance piece provides the necessary resistance that shapes the patient's head into the desired shape. An attachment feature may be added to the inner layer. The attachment feature engages openings on the resistance piece to connect the resistance piece to the inner layer. The resistance piece may also include one or more areas of increased width that provide additional support to the patient's head.

  • Patent number: 5653767
    Abstract: The prosthetic foot includes an extending forefoot and an extending heel which curve into arcing sections to be positioned in an overlapping and opposite fashion. A fastener securely fastens the forefoot and the heel to one another at a convergence of the arcing sections. The arcing sections define a receptacle for elements which limit the deflection of the forefoot and the heel. The preferred embodiment has a plurality of individual forefoot and heel members which readily accommodate uneven or angled terrain by individually flexing to conform to the terrain.
