METHOD FOR ATTACHMENT OF SLEEVE OF PROSTHESIS HAND TO FOREARM STUMP Russian patent published in 2024 - IPC A61F2/58 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: invention refers to medicine, namely to orthopaedics and medical rehabilitation, and can be used to improve attachment of a prosthetic hand to a forearm stump. Method consists in forming a mating part of a prosthesis sleeve from a stump cast using a prosthesis fastening system. Cast of the forearm stump is taken using alginate mass on the formwork. Produced cast is dried for 24 hours. Plaster cast is taken from the mating part of the prosthesis sleeve and a silicone gasket is cast into the prosthesis sleeve based on the two casts obtained. Before using the prosthesis, the forearm stump is lubricated with a cream. When the prosthesis slides off, the forearm stump is cast again with an alginate mass on the formwork, the obtained cast is dried for three days and a silicone gasket is cast into the prosthesis sleeve.

EFFECT: method provides uniform compression of the silicone gasket of the hand prosthesis sleeve on the formed forearm stump, with the elimination of the air gap between the silicone gasket of the sleeve of the prosthesis hand and the skin of the formed forearm stump due to the peculiarities of forming the mating part of the prosthesis sleeve by the stump cast.
