PROSTHESIS WITH BED FOR PLACING AMPUTATION STUMP Russian patent published in 2012 - IPC A61F2/80 A61F2/78 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to medical equipment, namely to prostheses. Prosthesis contains, at least, one artificial component (6) of prosthesis and connected with it bed (2) with proximal hole (5) for placing amputation stump. Bed (2) consists of creating contiguity to artificial component (6) stable external bed (3) and flexible internal bed (4). External bed (3) has distal end part (6) and passing from it in proximal direction, forming with each other gap (9) bowl-shaped segments (7, 8). At least, one of bowl-shaped segments (7, 8) is connected with distal end part with possibility of turning form initial position against elastic resistance. Resistance to turning is chosen in such a way, that connection between amputation stump and artificial component (6) of prosthesis remains constant with change of amputation stump volume.

EFFECT: claimed prosthesis is more comfortable in wearing and has lower weight.
