Reduced Wear and Tear: Another noteworthy advantage is their potential to curtail wear and tear on prosthesis components. The dual mobility blueprint disperses the forces exerted on the prosthesis more evenly, thus mitigating stress on the bearing surfaces. ...
One of the most challenging designs to do chairside is the design of a multi unit temporary that needs to be printed. This is incredibly time consuming as you spent significant amount of time just marking margins on a dozen units. With this technique pioneered by CAD-Ray you can bypass the margination step and design a large case in about a ...

CASE PLANNING The bilateral upper extremity fractures, the pre-existing contralateral lower limb amputation with loss of the prosthesis, and the patient's need for immediate weight bearing on her right lower extremity were all considerations in proceeding with pelvic ring fixation using two CurvaFix IM Implants. ...
With the patient's humeral deformity, a stemmed humeral prosthesis would have been impossible," said Dr Wiater. Additionally, with the location of the deformity, a regular neck cut that is used with any other system would not have worked. ...
A new intervertebral disc nucleus replacement device having three major features has been designed, comprising: 1) a peripheral textile band, 2) a silicone membrane filled with silicone that cures in situ forming an elastomeric implant and 3) an internal chamber that allows for deformation of the cured component (Figure 1). Samples of this device were subjected to biomechanical flexibility ...
As an orthotics and prosthetics practice, attracting and retaining patients can be challenging. While there are millions of limb loss patients around the world, they may all be searching for different solutions. Consequently, it’s important to showcase your professional talents as a clinician as well as offer custom solutions to your patients’ needs. But, not to worry. We’ve ...
Whether you’re looking for your first prosthetic hand or you’ve been using prostheses for years, many patients have questions about bionic hands. After all, bionic hands are relatively new to the prosthetic market, and with such advanced technology, patients are curious about how they work. For this reason, we’ve compiled a list of frequently asked questions regarding bionic ...
Many upper limb amputees seek out a bionic hand in hopes that it will help them perform daily tasks and increase their quality of life. While these hopes themselves are enough to persuade patients to become bionic hand users, users find that they receive so much more once fitted with the hand. We believe that with a bionic hand, users can dramatically improve their quality of life - in more ...
Amputees want to hear from other users about their success, or lack thereof, with a specific prosthesis. For this reason, we’re here to talk about user satisfaction with bionic hands. ...
You’ve spent the time and money finding the perfect bionic hand, getting it to fit just right, and learning how to use it. But, after a long day of wearing your hand, you’re experiencing discomfort and notice that it needs a clean - so how do you properly care for your hand? Properly caring for your bionic hand is essential to maintaining its function and condition, but it can be ...
Developments in 3D printing have changed the prosthetics game forever. Through additive and 3D manufacturing technology, bionic hands can be made more durable and affordable than ever, providing users the prostheses they deserve. Even beyond price and durability, 3D printing offers so much more - which is why the Zeus is made using 3D printing technology. But, we know that there are still ...
With this in mind, we’ll discuss the two primary types of upper limb loss seen in prosthesis users, as well as what patients should expect before and after amputation surgery. ...
There is a learning curve for every prosthetic device, but for first-time users, this can seem daunting. Once fitted with a new prosthesis, users need to re-learn how to perform day-to-day functions and activities and get accustomed to their new hand. ...
The goal of amputation is successful healing while preserving as much function as possible and creating a residual limb that will work best with or without a prosthesis. Other issues that affect decisions about the type and extent of surgery include the patient’s overall health and his or her ability to withstand anesthesia, the level at which there is adequate blood flow, ...
ABSTRACT Previous subgroup analyses from the ACTIVE trial in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis (NCT01343004) using three-dimensional (3D)-processing of dual X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) scans indicated greater increases in total hip cortical volumetric bone mineral density (Ct.vBMD) and estimated indices of hip strength following 18 months of abaloparatide (ABL) versus placebo or ...
Naked Prosthetics is excited to be a part of the Musee de L’Homme latest exhibit “The Limits of Humanity” in Paris, France. The exhibit opened in mid October 2021 and will run through the end of May 2022. The exhibition is set to display how technology has progressed through time to repair biological bodies and maximize physical and intellectual potential. This concept seeks ...
Main Outcome Measures Photosensitivity, glare, visual symptoms, NEI VFQ-25 score, Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale rating, prosthesis-related adverse events, intraocular lens (IOL)-related adverse events, and surgery-related adverse events 12 months after surgery. ...
Article history: Received 15 May 2021, Revised 1 November 2021, Accepted 4 January 2022, Keywords: Blood vessel prosthesis, Haemodialysis, Regenerative medicine, Tissue engineering, Vascular access INTRODUCTION End stage renal disease (ESRD) patients who are not candidates for autogenous fistulas or whose fistulas have failed, rely on synthetic arteriovenous (AV) grafts (e.g., ...
In-vivo Evaluation Of A Novel Surgical Heart Valve Prosthesis Designed To Be Durable, Anticoagulant-free And Silent. Bart Meuris, Lucas Van Hoof, Wilm Decré, Marie Lamberigts, Tom Langenaeken, Peter Verbrugghe. ...
In addition, we demonstrated the control of a stand-alone commercially available prosthesis, Bebionic3, in real-time using the FMG technique (for demonstration video – see Supplementary Material). ...
