Prosthetic Parts
The functionality of prostheses and their ability to enhance the user’s quality of life depend on the quality and design of the prosthetic parts used.
The materials used in the production of prosthetic parts are carefully selected for their durability and lightness. The following materials are the most commonly preferred:
- Carbon Fiber: Preferred for socket and shaft production due to its light weight and durability.
- Titanium: Used in prosthetic connectors for its long-lasting and rust-resistant properties.
- Silicone and Gel Materials: Used on the inner surfaces of sockets to provide comfort.
Prosthetic parts are continuously developed to meet users’ needs in terms of both design and functionality. At Ortoport Prosthetics, we aim to provide the most suitable solutions for our patients by using the highest quality materials.
Prosthetic Foot
Energy-returning feet provide walking comfort and balance. Flexibility is at the forefront, especially in sports prostheses. Nowadays, it consists of carbon fiber and lightweight materials.
Prosthetic Socket
It is individually designed and usually made of carbon fiber or plastic composite materials. The comfort of the socket is very important throughout the life of the prosthesis.
Silicone Liner
Silicone liner prevents friction and irritation by creating a barrier between the prosthesis and the skin. At the same time, it allows the skin to breathe. This offers a great advantage in long-term use.
Microprocessor Prosthesis
Technology has also made prosthetics smart. The microprocessor prosthesis provides a natural walking experience by analyzing the user's movements. These prostheses automatically adapt to ground slopes and speed changes.
Prosthesis with Hydraulic and Pneumatic Joints
For those who want smoother movements and more control, hydraulic and pneumatic systems are a great option.
Prosthetic Cover
The denture cover increases both the appearance and durability of the denture. It appeals to users' personal preferences with different design and material options.
Frequently Asked Questions
Prosthetic parts are generally produced from light and durable materials such as carbon fiber, silicone and aluminum.
The most important criterion in choosing a prosthesis is to consider the person’s daily needs and physical activities.
You can use mild soapy water and a soft cloth to clean the denture parts. Particular attention should be paid to the hygiene of parts such as silicone liner and sockets that come into contact with the skin. Mechanical parts should receive regular professional maintenance.
The cost of prosthetic parts varies depending on the material used, technology level, type of prosthesis and customization features. High-tech models such as microprocessor-enabled prostheses are more costly than other prostheses.
