About Upper limb Artificial Elbow Prostheses- Built for action
A lightweight bionic elbow engineered for smooth flexion and extension. Offers all-day battery life, customizable switching options, and up to 1 kg load capacity. Ideal for users seeking reliable performance.
Engineered for Natural Movement and DurabilityCombining a rotational and flexion hinge, the artificial elbow prosthesis closely mimics the natural range of motion up to 135 flexion, ensuring functional mobility. High-density polyethylene articulation zones and medical-grade alloys ensure both flexibility and superior wear resistance, contributing to long-lasting biomechanical performance.
Secure Fixation and Enhanced IntegrationDesigned with intra-medullary stems incorporating perforations, this prosthesis encourages strong osseointegration, whether cemented or cementless. Its textured and polished surfaces further improve bone integration, making it suitable for partial or total elbow replacements in various clinical scenarios.
Versatile Sizing and Customization OptionsServing both adults and pediatric patients, the prosthesis is available in standard sizes with an option for customized dimensions upon request. This adaptability, combined with modular system compatibility, addresses a broad spectrum of orthopedic reconstruction needs.
FAQ's of Upper limb Artificial Elbow Prostheses- Built for action:
Q: How is the upper limb artificial elbow prosthesis implanted during surgery?
A: The prosthesis is implanted by orthopedic surgeons using either a cemented or cementless fixation method. Intra-medullary stems with perforations promote osseointegration, and the device is positioned at the elbow joint during the procedure, following standard limb reconstruction or replacement protocols.
Q: What are the benefits of the rotational and flexion hinge mechanism in this elbow prosthesis?
A: The combination of rotational and flexion hinge mechanisms enables natural movement and a high degree of functional mobility, allowing up to 135 of flexion with full extension. This design enhances daily activity performance and replicates natural elbow biomechanics.
Q: Who is a suitable candidate for this artificial elbow prosthesis?
A: The prosthesis is recommended for both adults and children requiring partial or total elbow replacement due to traumatic injuries, arthritic conditions, or for limb reconstruction. Available in multiple sizes and customizable options, it suits a variety of anatomical and clinical needs.
Q: Where is the elbow prosthesis manufactured and how is sterility ensured?
A: Manufactured to ISO 13485 standards, the prosthesis is produced by certified orthopedic implant makers and is sterile, with packaging achieved via gamma radiation or autoclave processes. Each implant is individually blister-packed for safety.
Q: What materials are used in this elbow prosthesis and are they MRI-compatible?
A: The prosthesis is constructed from medical-grade stainless steel, titanium alloy, and high-density polyethylene. It contains only non-magnetic components, making it safe for MRI scans.
Q: Can the prosthesis be integrated with other upper limb modular systems?
A: Yes, the design allows compatibility with modular upper limb systems, enabling surgeons to tailor reconstructions to complex cases and individual patient anatomy as needed.
Q: What is the process for obtaining a custom-sized prosthesis?
A: If standard sizes do not meet patient requirements, custom sizing is available upon request. Surgeons or healthcare providers can coordinate with the manufacturer, providing specific dimensions to ensure the best anatomical fit.
