Carbon fiber composite materials have been widely used in various fields of medicine, except for common medical auxiliary equipment such as carbon fiber bed boards, head rests, and webs used for X-ray, CT, B-ultrasound and other inspections. The application of carbon fiber composite materials in the medical field is becoming more and more diversified, and it has also demonstrated its extraordinary ability in orthopedic surgery.
Carbon fiber ankle and foot orthosis
Ankle-foot orthoses are usually used to adjust foot drop and ankle instability, relieve the pressure on the ankle joints, provide patients with a good sense of balance, and reduce the risk of tripping and falling. The use of orthotics can significantly improve the patient's posture control ability, increase postural stability and reduce exercise energy consumption. For the patient, the flexibility of the orthosis, the comfort after wearing, and the support for the ankle are the most important. The materials of ankle and foot orthoses involve thermoplastics, metals, leather and carbon fiber composite materials.
Recently, the market is increasingly inclined to lightweight materials for foot drop orthoses, and more and more orthoses have begun to use carbon fiber composite materials to make the main part. Clinical studies have found that the gait of carbon fiber ankle and foot orthosis is better than that of polypropylene plastic ankle and foot orthosis and without wearing the orthosis, because carbon fiber material has special performance advantages, and its quality is better than polypropylene plastic orthosis. It is lighter, stronger, and has an energy storage effect. It saves more effort when worn by patients than when wearing polypropylene plastic ankle-foot orthoses, and has stronger practical value.
Carbon fiber bone external fixator
The carbon fiber composite rod is used to replace the metal connecting rod in the bone external fixator, and the effect is remarkable. After extensive use, the carbon fiber composite material connecting rod did not deform or break, fixed firmly without displacement, and the patient did not have any adverse contact reactions such as allergies. The most important thing is that the material is lighter and the X-ray transmission performance is good. Easy to check.
Carbon fiber intraoperative fluoroscopy frame
The fluoroscopy frame made of carbon fiber material with good X-ray permeability can be used in orthopedic surgery. The fluoroscopy frame can firmly support the patient's affected limb during a long-term operation without affecting the multi-angle fluoroscopy.
During intraoperative fluoroscopy, especially when irradiating side and oblique images, directly place the affected limb on the fluoroscopy stand, and you can observe the development of the limbs from multiple angles and directions. It avoids errors caused by X-ray exposure and micro-movement of the affected limb when the doctor lifts and adjusts the affected limb with bare hands. The whole fluoroscopic frame is extremely light and easy to operate. With its assistance, the patient's affected limb can be imaged more clearly.
As a professional manufacturer and manufacturer of carbon fiber, Coreco can customize carbon fiber medical devices, such as x-ray carbon fiber boards, carbon fiber reinforced peek orthopedic medical device accessories, etc. If you have any needs in this regard, please contact us!
