Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Stützhülse für Bein- oder Armstümpfe, nämlich einen Liner, mit den Merkmalen des Oberbegriffs des Anspruchs 1.The present invention relates to a support sleeve for leg or arm stumps, namely a liner with the features of the preamble of claim 1.
Liner für Prothesen wie Beinprothesen,
Armprothesen oder dergleichen, bestehend aus einer den Stumpf von
dessen distalem Ende aus umschließenden Hülse aus einem elastischen,
elektrisch isolierenden Material wie Silikon, Polyurethan, einem thermoplastischen
Elastomer oder dergleichen sind bekannt (W0 88/00032, WO 98/49977,
Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es, einen Liner oder eine Kniekappe mit erhöhter Gleitfähigkeit der Außenseite auf dieser selbst zu schaffen, der kostengünstig in der Herstellung ist und bei dem die Verwendung kritischer Materialien weitgehend reduziert ist. Des weiteren darf die Beschichtung bei bestimmungsgemäßer Nutzung des Liners (z.B. Reinigen mit Seifenlauge, Dehnen um 400%, ständiges Reiben im Schaft, 1000 mal auf links drehen des Liners) ihre Gleiteigenschaften nicht verlieren.Object of the present invention is a liner or a knee cap with increased lubricity on the outside to create on this itself, which is inexpensive to manufacture and where the use of critical materials is largely reduced is. Furthermore, the coating may be used as intended the liner (e.g. cleaning with soapy water, stretching by 400%, constant rubbing in the shaft, turn the liner 1000 times to the left) their sliding properties not lose.
Diese Aufgabe wird mit den Merkmalen des kennzeichnenden Teils des Anspruchs 1 gelöst. Fortbildungen und vorteilhafte Ausführungen der Erfindung sind im Folgenden umfasst.This task comes with the characteristics of the characterizing part of claim 1 solved. Training and advantageous versions the invention are included below.
Erfindungsgemäß ist ein Liner oder eine Kniekappe, bestehend aus einer den Stumpf von dessen distalem Ende aus umschließenden Hülse aus einem elastischen Material wie Silikon, Polyurethan (PUR) oder einem thermoplastischen Elastomer, dadurch gekennzeichnet dass die Außenseite des Liners durch eine Beschichtung mit einem polymeren Material oder eine Schicht aus einem polymeren Material gleitfähig ausgerüstet ist.According to the invention, a liner or a knee cap is consisting of a sleeve surrounding the stump from its distal end an elastic material such as silicone, polyurethane (PUR) or a thermoplastic elastomer, characterized in that the outside of the Liners through a coating with a polymeric material or a layer of a polymeric material is lubricated.
Nach einer Ausführung der Erfindung weist die Außenseite des Liners eine Beschichtung aus einem gleitfähig eingestellten Film aus Polyurethan oder Polyurethan-Harz auf. Vorteilhafterweise ist ein Silikonkleber als Haftvermittler für das Polyurethan-Harz unter diesem auf der Außenseite des Liners aufgebracht. Alternativ weist der Liner eine Haftvermittlerschicht durch Plasma- oder Coronabehandlung oder durch Beflämmen des Linermaterials auf. Die Beschichtung ist durch Sprühen, Tauchen, Aufrakeln oder dergleichen aufgebracht. Alternativ wurde die Beschichtung vor dem Gießen des Liners in die hierfür dienende Werkzeughaube eingebracht.According to one embodiment of the invention, the outside the liner a coating of a slidable film Polyurethane or polyurethane resin. A silicone adhesive is advantageous as an adhesion promoter for the polyurethane resin is applied under this on the outside of the liner. Alternatively, the liner has an adhesive layer through plasma or corona treatment or by flame treatment of the liner material. The Coating is by spraying, Dipping, doctor blade or the like applied. Alternatively, the Coating before pouring of the liner in this serving tool hood introduced.
Nach einer andern Ausführung der Erfindung besteht die Schicht durch Ablagern eines in der Materialrezeptur des Liners enthaltenen feindispersen Festkörperschmierstoffs wie PTFE an dessen Außenseite, wobei die Ablagerung vor dem Erstarren des Linermaterials erfolgt.After another execution of the Invention consists of the layer by depositing one in the material formulation of the finely dispersed solid lubricant contained in the liner, such as PTFE on the outside, the deposition takes place before the liner material solidifies.
Bei einem Liner oder einer Kniekappe aus Silikon kann diese gleitfähige Ausrüstung etwa wie folgt erzielt werden:With a liner or a knee cap Made of silicone, this can be slippery equipment can be achieved as follows:
Zuerst wird der Silikonliner mit einer Haftvermittlerschicht versehen. Das ist beispielsweise durch das Ausbringen einer mit geeigneten Haftpromotoren auf Silanbasis (angepasst an die Silikonrezeptur des Liners) angereicherten Lösung aus Silikon in 80% Toluol aufgebracht. Hier dürfen auch Silikonsysteme eingesetzt werden, die bei andauerndem Hautkontakt allergene Wirkung entfalten könnten und sich somit als Basismaterial für den Liner selbst verbieten, wie z.B. einkomponentige, die acetoxy- oder oximvernetzend sind.First, the silicone liner with provided with an adhesion promoter layer. That is, for example, through the Application of a suitable adhesive promoter based on silane (adapted solution enriched in the silicone formulation of the liner) Silicon applied in 80% toluene. Silicone systems may also be used here that have an allergenic effect if the skin is in constant contact could and thus prohibit itself as base material for the liner, such as e.g. one-component that are acetoxy or oxime crosslinking.
Das Ausbringen einer solchen Haftvermittlerschicht erfolgt vorzugsweise durch sprühen, es kann aber auch durch tauchen, aufrakeln oder ähnliche Verfahren erfolgen.The application of such an adhesion promoter layer is preferably done by spraying, but it can also be done by dipping, knife coating or similar processes.
Alternativ kann die Haftvermittlerschicht auch durch Plasma- oder Coronabehandlung bzw. durch Beflämmen erzielt werden. Bei Letzterem sind silandotierte Brenngase zu bevorzugen.Alternatively, the adhesive layer can also achieved by plasma or corona treatment or by flame treatment become. In the latter, silane-doped fuel gases are preferred.
Nach erfolgtem Ablüften des Lösungsmittels aber vor vollständigem Abschluss der Vernetzung der Haftvermittlers wird die eigentliche Gleitschicht aufgebracht. Als Gleitschicht lässt sich beispielsweise das auf Polyurethan basierende Ergoflex der Firma COP einsetzen (mit 85% Aceton verdünnt), wobei vorzugsweise ein aliphatischer Härter eingesetzt wird, um Vergilben zu vermeiden. Auch hier erfolgt das Aufbringen vorzugsweise durch sprühen, es kann aber ebenso durch tauchen, aufrakeln oder ähnliche Verfahren erfolgen.After the solvent has been vented off but before the crosslinking of the adhesion promoter has been completed, the actual sliding layer is applied. For example, the polyurethane-based Ergoflex from COP (diluted with 85% acetone) can be used as a sliding layer, whereby preferably an aliphatic hardener is used to prevent yellowing. Here too, the application is preferably carried out by spraying, but it can also be carried out by dipping, knife coating or similar processes.
Nach dem erneuten Ablüften ist der Liner bei ca. 60°C zu tempern um nachzuvernetzen und Lösungsmittelreste auszutreiben.After flashing off again the liner at approx. 60 ° C anneal to post-crosslink and drive off solvent residues.
Alternativ kann die Gleitbeschichtung auch vor dem Gießen des Liners in die Werkzeughaube eingebracht werden. Danach ist Ablüften erforderlich, jedoch sollte vor vollständigem Abschluss der Vernetzung der Beschichtung der Liner gegossen werden. Hierbei lässt sich durch eine geeignete Microstrukturierung der Werkzeughaube ein weiteres Absenken des Reibungskoeffizienten erreichen.Alternatively, the slide coating even before pouring of the liner can be inserted into the tool hood. After that, venting is required, however should be before whole Completion of crosslinking the coating of the liner can be cast. Here leaves through a suitable microstructuring of the tool hood achieve a further reduction in the coefficient of friction.
Beim Aufbringen derartiger Gleitbeschichtungen auf Polyurethan-Liner kann auf eine haftvermittelnde Schicht verzichtet werden.When applying such sliding coatings there is no adhesive layer on polyurethane liners become.
Bei Linern aus thermoplastischen Elastomeren sind die zum Einsatz kommenden Lösungsmittel gemäß dem jeweiligen Polymer zu wählen. So muss z.B. bei Linern aus mit SEBS (Styrol/Ethylen-Butylen/Styrol) gebundenen Ölen bedacht werden, dass SEBS auch manche Lösungsmittel bindet, die dann im Liner gebunden gesundheitlich bedenklich sind.For liners made of thermoplastic Elastomers are the solvents used in accordance with the respective Polymer to choose. For example, for liners made of SEBS (styrene / ethylene-butylene / styrene) bound oils be considered that SEBS also binds some solvents, which are then in the Liner bound are harmful to health.
Eine weitere Möglichkeit zum erzielen einer gleitfähigen Außenschicht besteht darin, in die Materialrezeptur des Liners einen feindispersen Festkörperschmierstoff, wie etwa Polytetrafluorethylenpulver (PTFE), einzubringen. Nach dem Einbringen des flüssigen Linermaterials in das Linerwerkzeug, jedoch vor dessen Angelen bzw. Erstarren müssen die Partikel dann dazu gebracht werden in Richtung Werkzeughaube zu wandern und sich dort flächig anzulegen. Das erreicht man z.B. durch den Aufbau eines elektrischen Feldes in der Werkzeugkavität, das durch Anlegen einer Gleichspannung an die zueinander isolierten Werkzeughälften erzeugt wird.Another way to achieve a lubricious outer layer consists in a finely dispersed in the material formulation of the liner Solid lubricant, such as polytetrafluoroethylene powder (PTFE). To the introduction of the liquid Liner material in the liner tool, but before fishing or Must freeze the particles are then brought towards the tool hood to hike and get flat there to apply. This is achieved e.g. by building an electrical Field in the tool cavity, that by applying a DC voltage to the isolated from each other tool halves is produced.
Im Folgenden wird die Erfindung anhand einer Zeichnung beispielhaft näher beschrieben.The invention is described below a drawing as an example described.
