Definitions
- the present invention relates to a support structure, a prosthesis component containing this support structure, a method for producing this prosthesis component and the use of the support structure.
- a prosthesis In medicine, the artificial replacement of limbs or body parts is referred to as a prosthesis.
- the aim is for the prostheses to function as closely as possible to the organ or part of the body.
- Well-known prosthesis variants are exoprostheses (outside the body) and endoprostheses (completely enclosed by body tissue).
- Exoprostheses are, for example, leg, foot, arm or hand prostheses.
- a leg prosthesis for example, mainly has three components, namely a shaft via which the prosthesis is connected to a remaining extremity stump, an adapter piece and a foot part.
- orthotics are also known; these are used to stabilize, relieve, immobilize, guide or correct limbs or the trunk. Further developments of the orthotics are so-called exoskeletons, which are robots or machines that can be worn on the body and that support or reinforce the movement of the wearer.
- the manufacture of trusses as a support structure is generally a known method in the art to stabilize structures.
- support structures are used to stabilize and reposition fractures or to build bones.
- the support structures can consist of titanium plastic or steel as well as absorbable materials.
- the disadvantage here is that, although individual reinforcement is technically possible, it is associated with high costs and complex process steps.
- the object of the present invention is therefore to provide a support structure which, when used in a prosthesis, for example, offers targeted reinforcement, thereby saving material and making the prosthesis more comfortable to wear is increased by the targeted reinforcement, as well as a targeted rigidity and strength can be achieved.
- a support structure which comprises at least one composite material, the support structure being designed as a shell-shaped body, 3D structure or free-form surface, preferably as a shell-shaped body.
- the support structure described is not a full-surface structure, but a support structure that is only present in a targeted manner at the required locations and is therefore only over part of the surface.
- a fiber-reinforced plastic is seen as a composite material, the fibers being selected from the group consisting of carbon fibers, glass fibers, aramid fibers, metal fibers, ceramic fibers, basalt fibers or natural fibers, preferably carbon fibers.
- Natural fibers are flax, jute, sisal and hemp fibers.
- the fibers can be used as short, long, continuous fibers or mixtures thereof, preferably continuous fibers. Fibers with a length of 0.1mm - 1mm are referred to as short fibers, 1mm - 50mm as long fibers and with more than 50mm as continuous fibers.
- thermosets such as epoxy resins, thermoplastics such as polyamides and elastomers such as acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber or mixtures thereof, preferably thermosets, are used as the matrix.
- Thermoplastics are plastics that can be deformed in a certain temperature range, the process being reversible as long as the thermoplastic does not decompose due to thermal overheating.
- the support structure comprises a carbon fiber reinforced plastic, the carbon fibers being present as continuous fibers and the matrix as a duromer.
- This reinforcement material offers the advantage of low weight, very high weight-specific rigidity and tensile strength, as well as low thermal expansion, which can be ideally adapted to the load-specific configuration of the fiber direction and therefore impresses with excellent, adjustable mechanical properties for the application mentioned.
- a 3-D structure is understood to mean any three-dimensional structure.
- a shell-shaped body is a 3D structure, which is designed to be open on one side and has at least one curved surface, so that a halved hollow sphere is formed. Freeform surfaces are three-dimensional, curved surfaces. Curved surfaces are surfaces that deviate from the straight surface by any number of degrees in parts of the surface.
- the composite material is selected from the group consisting of carbon fiber reinforced plastic, glass fiber reinforced plastic, aramid fiber reinforced plastic, metal fiber reinforced plastic, ceramic fiber reinforced plastic, basalt fiber reinforced plastic, natural fiber reinforced plastic or mixtures of these, preferably carbon fiber reinforced plastic.
- the composite material made of carbon fiber reinforced plastic has the highest weight-specific rigidity.
- a prosthesis component is understood to mean one or more components that are used in prostheses of any kind.
- the support structure enables targeted reinforcement in the areas where it is needed. This increases the wearing comfort of the prosthesis for the wearer.
- a prosthesis component comprising a cover and the support structure, the support structure being attached to the inside and / or outside of the cover, before given to the outside.
- the shell is understood to mean a shell-shaped body, a 3D structure or free-form surface, preferably a shell-shaped body, the shape of the shell being dependent on the shape of the support structure.
- the sheath is a shell-shaped body, the sheath surrounding the amputation stump.
- the shell is made of plastic, ceramic, metal or mixtures of these, preferably plastic.
- Plastic has the advantage that the shell is particularly flexible, which increases the wearing comfort of the prosthesis for the wearer. Furthermore, the use of a plastic allows the comparatively simple, quick and inexpensive application of a corresponding manufacturing process.
- the support structure advantageously has at least two formations.
- molded areas are understood to mean subregions that are separated by regions that do not have a support structure.
- the formations have the advantage that, not through a full-surface support structure, but a support structure attached in certain areas, only those points are supported that require support, which saves material costs and, in the case of a support structure, is used in prostheses, there is an improvement in the wearing comfort for the wearer, since this increases the flexibility of the prosthesis.
- the formations of the support structure are connected to one another at one point as a function of the force introduction. This makes it possible that the support structure does not have to be designed over the entire surface, but rather has support only at the required points.
- the shell and the support structure are non-positively and / or positively and / or cohesively connected to one another at this point, preferably non-positively and / or cohesively. Because with a material connection, the forces are transferred over the entire surface and the non-positive connection can be released again and an influence on the connection strength is possible.
- a fastening means from the group of screws or rivets for force-fitting connections and / or from the group of the Adhesives for integral connections and / or clamps for positive connections selected, preferably screws and / or adhesives.
- Adhesives are adhesive films with a thickness of 0 to 250 gm, adhesive sheets with a thickness of> 250 gm to 1 mm or adhesive layers with a thickness of> 1 mm to 5 mm and adhesive pastes.
- Adhesive films, adhesive sheets and adhesive layers are two-dimensional, flat structures with a homogeneous thickness distribution.
- Adhesive pastes can be used, for example, to compensate for inaccuracies in the manufacture of the shell and support structure.
- Fastening means are understood to mean both additional elements such as screws, rivets, adhesives, adhesive films, adhesive layers, adhesive sheets or adhesive layers, but also in direct fastenings such as by clamping, which is made possible by undercuts. Undercuts are understood to mean that the support structure propagates or surrounds around and over convex bulges on the shell.
- Another object of the invention is a method of a prosthetic component, comprising the following steps a) shaping the shell by additive manufacturing, injection molding or casting, b) pretreating the surface of the shell, c) on the shell pretreated in step b), forming the support structure, with at least two layers of at least one composite material section each being applied, d) curing or consolidation of the support structure according to step c) at temperatures in a range from 80 to 150 ° C and a pressure of 1 to 10 bar for 3 to 240 min, e) Separation of shell and support structure, f) reworking the support structure, g) bringing the shell and support structure together, h) non-positive and / or form-fitting and / or material-locking connection of the shell and support structure by means of a fastening means.
- the shaping of the shell in step a) can be done by various shaping processes, such as additive manufacturing, injection molding or casting.
- surface treatment of the shell is understood to mean that the shell is prepared in such a way that the support structure applied in step c) and cured in step d) can be separated from the shell in step e).
- Separating agents, waxes, foils or separating layers can be used to pretreat the surface. Release agents are therefore low-viscosity, paste-like substances or substances that can be applied as a spray, for example semi-permanent polymer resins, silicones or fluorine-chlorine-hydrocarbons, which can be applied by wiping, spraying or dipping and form a thin film that serves as an adhesion barrier.
- waxes which are dispersed in solvents can also be used.
- step c) the support structure is formed on the surface-pretreated casing.
- at least two layers of at least one piece of composite material are applied.
- Under a composite material part is in the context of the inven tion a not yet cured or not yet consolidated composite material, which in the simplest case represents the overall shape of the support structure and in this simplest case two layers of it are applied one on top of the other.
- Documents is understood to mean a layer of a composite material made up of one or more composite material parts lying next to one another.
- the support structure can, however, also be assembled from many individual composite material parts in at least two superimposed layers.
- the not yet hardened or not fully consolidated composite material is selected from the group of carbon fiber reinforced plastic, glass fiber reinforced plastic, aramid fiber reinforced plastic, metal fiber reinforced plastic, ceramic fiber reinforced plastic, basalt fiber reinforced plastic, natural fiber reinforced plastic or mixtures of these, preferably carbon fiber reinforced plastic.
- Step c) can also be carried out by an automated process, for this purpose it is first calculated where the individual composite material parts are to be applied and applied accordingly with the aid of fiber placement processes.
- step d) the support structure is cured at temperatures in a range from 80 to 150 ° C. and a pressure of 1–10 bar for 3 to 240 minutes, thereby giving the support structure its final shape and maintaining its strength.
- the support structure is reworked in step f). This includes filing, milling, grinding and deburring.
- the support structure can also optionally be lacquered or sealed with, for example, a lacquer. This has optical reasons.
- the optional painting can also only be carried out on the prosthesis component.
- the casing in step a) is made of plastic, ceramic or metal, preferably plastic.
- Plastic has the advantage that the shell is very flexible and soft, which increases the wearing comfort of the prosthesis or orthosis for the wearer, for example in the case of prostheses or orthoses. Furthermore, the use of a plastic allows the comparatively simple, quick and inexpensive manufacture.
- the casing in step a) is formed from plastic selected from the group consisting of thermoplastics, elastomers or duromers, preferably thermoplastics. Thermoplastics have the advantage that they can be printed using 3D printing.
- step a) when shaping the shell and in step c) when forming the support structure the calculated thermal distortion during curing of the prosthesis component made of shell and support structure is taken into account, so that steps b) and e) -g) are omitted .
- the calculation of the thermal distortion can be calculated using various methods such as FEM models / simulation (Finite Element Method), hand calculations, behavior models, ROM (Reduced Order Model) and thus already included in the manufacture of the shell in such a way that this has a shape deviating from the measured model and the desired geometry of the end component is achieved by means of the calculated distortion.
- the calculation of the thermal distortion also facilitates the manufacturing process for the entire component, as there is no need for costly post-processing.
- no fastening means are required for the shell and the support structure, since the joint curing already creates a material connection between the shell and the support structure.
- step a) the sleeve is adapted on the inside according to the determined individual shape of the amputation swab and the outer contour corresponds to a standard shape and the support structure in step c) is formed on a separate tool, with at least two layers each at least one composite fiber material piece can be applied, so that steps b and e) are omitted.
- a fastening means from the group of screws or rivets for force-locking connections and / or from the group of adhesives for material-locking connections and / or clamps for form-locking connections selected, preferably screws and / or adhesives.
- the support structure is generally used in equipment for medical technology, rehabilitation aids, sports and veterinary medicine, as well as aids for static-dynamic loads, for patient recovery technology in the emergency area and patient transport.
