Requirements for Comfort, Durability and Healthy Use of Prosthetics
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.
