Carbon fibre is used in prosthetics for the definitive socket that the patient will receive after the test socket has been approved by the patient.
The design of the socket is determined by the type of prosthesis that the patient is receiving, and the patient can customise the outer design of the socket to their liking.
Carbon fibre composites are widely used in prosthetics to reduce the weight of the arm and leg. They are also non-toxic and corrosion resistant. As a result, rising demand for carbon fibre composite leg and arm prosthetics for amputees will fuel the market.
The Global Carbon fiber prosthetic limbs market accounted for $XX Billion in 2022 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2024 to 2030.
A mobility specialist has launched a line of carbon fibre prosthetic feet. Ottobock Healthcare, the official partner of the Paralympic Games, has unveiled a new line of carbon fibre prosthetic feet designed in collaboration with amputees.
The Triton Foot range was created to meet the demands of an active lifestyle while also providing the wearer with comfort and stability even under heavy loads.
Triton feet have springs designed to dampen the impact of the load, and the shortening of the heel lever allows for maximum control when bending the knee for greater confidence and safety.
Furthermore, the range’s interconnected high-performance polymer spring system connects the forefoot and heel and stores energy during heel strike.
This energy is then gradually released during the stance phase, allowing for a more natural and easy foot roll-over movement.
The base spring is specially formed and split at the forefoot section, allowing the effective foot length to reach the big toe.
This enables the wearer to walk at variable speeds and perform powerful transitions to the swing phase more comfortably. Roll-over and heel characteristics can be adapted and customised to meet individual needs for increased stability.
