Abstract
The invention relates to a cosmetic cover (1) for lining a prosthesis (10), with a distal section (2), and with a joint section (3) which, when the cosmetic cover (1) for the prosthesis is fitted in place, covers a joint mechanism (30) arranged between a proximal prosthesis component (40) and a distal prosthesis component (20), wherein the joint section (3) is made from a 3D spacer knit having an upper textile and a lower textile, which are spaced apart and attached to each other by support threads.
Claims20
A cosmetic prosthesis cover for covering a prosthesis, the prosthetic having a proximal prosthetic component, a distal prosthetic component, and a joint unit disposed between the proximal and distal prosthetic components the cosmetic prosthesis cover comprising
- a distal portion;
- a joint portion which, in a fitted state of the cosmetic prosthesis cover covers the joint unit, wherein the joint portion is formed from a 3D spacer warp-knit which has an upper textile and a lower textile, the upper and lower textiles being affixed to one another in a spaced-apart manner by support threads.
A cosmetic prosthesis cover for covering a prosthesis, the prosthetic having a proximal prosthetic component, a distal prosthetic component, and a joint unit disposed between the proximal and distal prosthetic components, the cosmetic prosthesis cover comprising:
- a distal portion;
- a joint portion configured to cover the joint unit when the cosmetic prosthesis cover is in a fitted state, the joint portion being formed from a 3D spacer warp-knit having an upper textile and a lower textile;
- support threads configured to connect the upper and lower textiles to each another in a spaced-apart manner.
