Prosthetic systems are among the most important orthopedic solutions developed to improve the quality of daily life and support freedom of movement. However, obtaining maximum benefit from a prosthesis is not limited to choosing the right prosthesis. Regular maintenance, proper usage habits, and high-quality manufacturing are crucial for comfort, durability, and healthy use.

 

Canerdem, with its modern design techniques, user-friendly materials, and expert support, ensures long-lasting, safe, and comfortable prostheses.

 

1. Key Factors Determining Prosthesis Comfort

 

Prosthesis comfort is one of the most critical criteria that directly affects the user's daily performance. Factors to consider for comfort include:

 

Compatible Socket (Key Point)

 

Socket fit is the most important comfort factor in prostheses.

 

Individual sizing to suit the user's anatomical structure

 

Pressure-free, non-irritating inner surface

 

Use of lightweight, ergonomic, and breathable materials

 

Because Canerdem Orthopedics custom-designs the socket, the likelihood of slipping, bumping, or pain during movement is minimized.

 

The Right Suspension Systems

 

The suspension system (sleeve, pin, vacuum, etc.) ensures the stability of the prosthesis.

The correct suspension system should be selected based on the user's daily activities.

 

Design Based on the Sensitivity of the Amputee Area

 

Swelling, sweating, and skin sensitivity affect prosthesis comfort.

These factors should be considered and a special liner and suitable soft materials should be selected.

 

2. Factors That Increase Prosthesis Durability

 

The longevity of prostheses is important for both safety and operational efficiency. Many factors determine prosthesis lifespan.

 

Use of Quality Materials

 

Carbon fiber, titanium, or high-strength composite materials increase the durability of prostheses.

Canerdem manufactures high-durability parts using modern material technologies.

 

Regular Maintenance and Checks

 

Bolt loosening

 

Socket deformation

 

Liner wear can be prevented with regular checks.

 

Prosthesis users are strongly recommended to have a professional checkup every six months.

 

Proper Usage Habits

 

Avoiding contact with the prosthesis (unless suitable)

 

Protecting from sudden impacts

 

Avoiding overloading

 

These are factors that directly affect durability.

 

3. Requirements for Healthy Use

 

When using a prosthesis, it is important to protect both the prosthesis and the user's health. Proper usage habits can prevent most problems before they occur.

 

Daily Cleaning and Hygiene

 

Cleaning the socket and liner should not be neglected.

 

Accumulated dirt, sweat, and bacteria can cause skin problems.

 

Canerdem specialists provide detailed instruction on how to care for the prosthesis.

 

Skin Health Monitoring

 

If you experience any redness, sores, stinging, or irritation in the prosthesis area, consult a specialist.

Early intervention prevents major problems.

 

Weight Control and Maintaining Muscle Balance

 

Excessive weight gain or loss can affect the prosthesis's fit.

 

Regular exercise also promotes proper muscle function.

 

Professional Adjustments

 

Minor adjustments may be necessary over time.

The user should not intervene independently; adjustments must be made by an orthopedic specialist.
