Prosthesis cover for a prosthesis, particularly for an artificial leg
The present invention relates to a prosthesis covering ( 100 ) with a closed cross-section which comprises a first section ( 10 ), a second section ( 20 ) and a third section ( 30 ). The second section ( 20 ) is arranged in longitudinal direction between the first section ( 10 ) and the third section ( 30 ) and consists of other material than the other two sections. The second section ( 20 ) may optionally at least in a first subsection ( 21 ) be folded, doubled over, raised, lamella-like or multi-layer.
1. A prosthesis covering having a closed cross-section,
wherein the prosthesis covering comprises along its longitudinal extension at least a first section, a second section and a third section;
wherein the second section includes a material comprising a higher E-Modul (Young's modulus) than at least one of a material of the first section and a material of the third section;
wherein the second section is arranged between the first section and the third section;
wherein the second section includes a first subsection which in at least one state thereof is in sections folded, doubled over, raised, lamella-like or multiple-layer;
wherein the second section comprises, as a second subsection, a structure extending in a longitudinal direction of the prosthesis covering or of the second section, wherein the second subsection is not folded, doubled over, raised, lamella-like or multi-layer; and
wherein the second subsection lies on or adjacent to the inner or outer surface of the first subsection or complements together with the first subsection to 360° of the circumference.
2. The prosthesis covering according to claim 1 , wherein
at least one of the first section, the second section and the third section is made of, or comprises, an airtight material.
3. The prosthesis covering according to claim 1 , wherein
at least one of the first subsection and the second subsection is not elastic.
4. The prosthesis covering according to claim 1 , wherein
at least one of the first section and the third section is elastic.
5. The prosthesis covering according to claim 1 , wherein the second section, in at least one subsection thereof, comprises an elevated structure on its inner side.
