Embodiment Construction

[0031] exist figure 1 In the figure, a prosthesis sleeve 1 is shown in the form of a foot sleeve, which has an end area 2 designed as a plantar area and a joint area 3 configured as an ankle area. A cavity (not shown) is formed inside foot sleeve 1 , into which cavity a prosthetic foot likewise not shown is inserted. The insertion takes place through an insertion opening 4 formed at the upper end. Adjoining the insertion opening 4 is the ankle region 3 which, in the exemplary embodiment shown, has a bellows-like structure 5 which extends above and below the ankle joint axis. exist figure 1 The position of the axis around which the prosthetic foot can oscillate, for example to adjust the heel when the prosthetic wearer switches to a shoe mode that has a different heel height than the previous mode, is shown in the circular area in . high.

[0032] The ankle region 3 has a Shore material hardness A of 15 to 25, while the foot sole region 2 , which is integrally connected the...

Abstract

The artificial limb casing (1) having an insertion opening (4) for inserting the artificial limb. An end area (2) is integrally connected to a joint area and is formed on the casing. A textile intermediate layer is applied to the outside of a hollow polyurethane substrate, and a silicone layer is applied to the textile intermediate layer. The casing is made of an elastomeric material that has lower shore hardness in the joint area than in the end area. An independent claim is also included for a method for producing an artificial limb casing.

Description

[0001] This application is a divisional application of a patent application with an application date of October 5, 2010, an application number of 201080049287.7, and an invention name of a prosthesis sleeve and a manufacturing method thereof. technical field [0002] The invention relates to a prosthesis sleeve for a prosthesis, for example a prosthetic foot or a prosthetic hand, with an insertion opening for inserting the prosthesis, wherein a joint region is formed on the sleeve and an end region is integrally connected to the on the joint area. The invention also relates to a method for producing a prosthetic sleeve. Background technique [0003] Prosthetics are used to replace a person's missing limb. The main purpose of prosthetics here is usually to restore damaged or lost functions. In addition to purely functional parts, visual or cosmetic decorative functions are also fulfilled by replacing missing limbs. For this purpose it is proposed that the functional core p...
