Climate system for prostheses ndash improvement of the wearing comfort through prevention of the heat build-up in the prosthesis shaft The technical development was brought to perfection in the last years through which the quality-of-life of amputees in the area of prosthetics experienced a substantial improvement The thermal aspect in the prosthesis shaft however remained relatively unattended although this represents an elementary problem The thermal area the heat metabolism and heat transport to the environment is especially disturbed in this area of the prosthesis shaft The sweat formation caused through the muscle activity and blood circulation of the stump represents a problem in a closed system - as is the prosthesis shaft - and can substantially restrict the quality-of-life of prosthesis wearers Heat accumulation and overheating within the prosthesis shaft are often the consequence and are associated with the loss of adhesion and control in the prosthesis shaft The permanently disrupted moisture metabolism leads to skin irritations fungal infections and the formation of odours A ldquosofteningldquo of the skin is prevented So it becomes more resistance towards mechanical influences It has also been found that there is reduced growth of bacteria through cooler temperatures Independent of the physical dynamics the sweat formation in the shaft has substantial effects on the fit of the prosthesis as well as on the gait Through the sweat formation the fresh feeling at the stump and also the perfect fit at the stump are reduced which is what invariably happens Through the prevention of the heat accumulation in the shaft area it has been possible to create an optimised innovative shaft system With the Symphonie reg climate shaft a product has been developed that resolves an elementary problem in prosthetics in an innovative way The worldwide newly developed technology for the first time offers the possibility of controlling the temperature within a closed system - as for example a prosthesis shaft - and to prevent sweating Through the thermal regulation of the heat energy an overheating in the shaft is prevented and this counteracts the formation of sweat in the shaft This objective was mainly implemented through the combination of a high performance heat (cold) storage material integrated into the shaft and a microprocessor controlled heat transfer to the surface of the storage element The control components that are also integrated in the shaft make it possible for the shaft wearer to make individual adjustments of their cooling requirements The wearer can for example adapt to different heat producing situations such as for example during office work during walking or during sports activities Independent of the weather it is thereby also possible to counteract overheating in summer and severe under cooling of the extremities in winter The climate shaft Symphonie reg was developed in cooperation with orthopaedic technicians and specialists from the heat and storage technology areas as well as control specialists The product was extensively developed and tested under real conditions sealprene by Carsten Sauer Leg prosthesis protection for hobby and water sport For showering for hobby and water sport The protective covering sealprene presented in Leipzig for leg prostheses is practical manageable and can be taken with you everywhere The easy to maintain cover made of plastic that has been registered for patenting only

Climate system for prostheses ndash improvement of the wearing comfort through prevention of the heat build-up in the prosthesis shaft The technical development was brought to perfection in the last years through which the quality-of-life of amputees in the area of prosthetics experienced a substantial improvement The thermal aspect in the prosthesis shaft however remained relatively unattended although this represents an elementary problem The thermal area the heat metabolism and heat transport to the environment is especially disturbed in this area of the prosthesis shaft The sweat formation caused through the muscle activity and blood circulation of the stump represents a problem in a closed system - as is the prosthesis shaft - and can substantially restrict the quality-of-life of prosthesis wearers Heat accumulation and overheating within the prosthesis shaft are often the consequence and are associated with the loss of adhesion and control in the prosthesis shaft The permanently disrupted moisture metabolism leads to skin irritations fungal infections and the formation of odours A ldquosofteningldquo of the skin is prevented So it becomes more resistance towards mechanical influences It has also been found that there is reduced growth of bacteria through cooler temperatures Independent of the physical dynamics the sweat formation in the shaft has substantial effects on the fit of the prosthesis as well as on the gait Through the sweat formation the fresh feeling at the stump and also the perfect fit at the stump are reduced which is what invariably happens Through the prevention of the heat accumulation in the shaft area it has been possible to create an optimised innovative shaft system With the Symphonie reg climate shaft a product has been developed that resolves an elementary problem in prosthetics in an innovative way The worldwide newly developed technology for the first time offers the possibility of controlling the temperature within a closed system - as for example a prosthesis shaft - and to prevent sweating Through the thermal regulation of the heat energy an overheating in the shaft is prevented and this counteracts the formation of sweat in the shaft This objective was mainly implemented through the combination of a high performance heat (cold) storage material integrated into the shaft and a microprocessor controlled heat transfer to the surface of the storage element The control components that are also integrated in the shaft make it possible for the shaft wearer to make individual adjustments of their cooling requirements The wearer can for example adapt to different heat producing situations such as for example during office work during walking or during sports activities Independent of the weather it is thereby also possible to counteract overheating in summer and severe under cooling of the extremities in winter The climate shaft Symphonie reg was developed in cooperation with orthopaedic technicians and specialists from the heat and storage technology areas as well as control specialists The product was extensively developed and tested under real conditions sealprene by Carsten Sauer Leg prosthesis protection for hobby and water sport For showering for hobby and water sport The protective covering sealprene presented in Leipzig for leg prostheses is practical manageable and can be taken with you everywhere The easy to maintain cover made of plastic that has been registered for patenting only

Climate system for prostheses ndash improvement of the wearing comfort through prevention of the heat build-up in the prosthesis shaft The technical development was brought to perfection in the last years through which the quality-of-life of amputees in the area of prosthetics experienced a substantial improvement The thermal aspect in the prosthesis shaft however remained relatively unattended although this represents an elementary problem The thermal area the heat metabolism and heat transport to the environment is especially disturbed in this area of the prosthesis shaft The sweat formation caused through the muscle activity and blood circulation of the stump represents a problem in a closed system - as is the prosthesis shaft - and can substantially restrict the quality-of-life of prosthesis wearers Heat accumulation and overheating within the prosthesis shaft are often the consequence and are associated with the loss of adhesion and control in the prosthesis shaft The permanently disrupted moisture metabolism leads to skin irritations fungal infections and the formation of odours A ldquosofteningldquo of the skin is prevented So it becomes more resistance towards mechanical influences It has also been found that there is reduced growth of bacteria through cooler temperatures Independent of the physical dynamics the sweat formation in the shaft has substantial effects on the fit of the prosthesis as well as on the gait Through the sweat formation the fresh feeling at the stump and also the perfect fit at the stump are reduced which is what invariably happens Through the prevention of the heat accumulation in the shaft area it has been possible to create an optimised innovative shaft system With the Symphonie reg climate shaft a product has been developed that resolves an elementary problem in prosthetics in an innovative way The worldwide newly developed technology for the first time offers the possibility of controlling the temperature within a closed system - as for example a prosthesis shaft - and to prevent sweating Through the thermal regulation of the heat energy an overheating in the shaft is prevented and this counteracts the formation of sweat in the shaft This objective was mainly implemented through the combination of a high performance heat (cold) storage material integrated into the shaft and a microprocessor controlled heat transfer to the surface of the storage element The control components that are also integrated in the shaft make it possible for the shaft wearer to make individual adjustments of their cooling requirements The wearer can for example adapt to different heat producing situations such as for example during office work during walking or during sports activities Independent of the weather it is thereby also possible to counteract overheating in summer and severe under cooling of the extremities in winter The climate shaft Symphonie reg was developed in cooperation with orthopaedic technicians and specialists from the heat and storage technology areas as well as control specialists The product was extensively developed and tested under real conditions sealprene by Carsten Sauer Leg prosthesis protection for hobby and water sport For showering for hobby and water sport The protective covering sealprene presented in Leipzig for leg prostheses is practical manageable and can be taken with you everywhere The easy to maintain cover made of plastic that has been registered for patenting only

Climate system for prostheses ndash improvement of the wearing comfort through prevention of the heat build-up in the prosthesis shaft The technical development was brought to perfection in the last years through which the quality-of-life of amputees in the area of prosthetics experienced a substantial improvement The thermal aspect in the prosthesis shaft however remained relatively unattended although this represents an elementary problem The thermal area the heat metabolism and heat transport to the environment is especially disturbed in this area of the prosthesis shaft The sweat formation caused through the muscle activity and blood circulation of the stump represents a problem in a closed system - as is the prosthesis shaft - and can substantially restrict the quality-of-life of prosthesis wearers Heat accumulation and overheating within the prosthesis shaft are often the consequence and are associated with the loss of adhesion and control in the prosthesis shaft The permanently disrupted moisture metabolism leads to skin irritations fungal infections and the formation of odours A ldquosofteningldquo of the skin is prevented So it becomes more resistance towards mechanical influences It has also been found that there is reduced growth of bacteria through cooler temperatures Independent of the physical dynamics the sweat formation in the shaft has substantial effects on the fit of the prosthesis as well as on the gait Through the sweat formation the fresh feeling at the stump and also the perfect fit at the stump are reduced which is what invariably happens Through the prevention of the heat accumulation in the shaft area it has been possible to create an optimised innovative shaft system With the Symphonie reg climate shaft a product has been developed that resolves an elementary problem in prosthetics in an innovative way The worldwide newly developed technology for the first time offers the possibility of controlling the temperature within a closed system - as for example a prosthesis shaft - and to prevent sweating Through the thermal regulation of the heat energy an overheating in the shaft is prevented and this counteracts the formation of sweat in the shaft This objective was mainly implemented through the combination of a high performance heat (cold) storage material integrated into the shaft and a microprocessor controlled heat transfer to the surface of the storage element The control components that are also integrated in the shaft make it possible for the shaft wearer to make individual adjustments of their cooling requirements The wearer can for example adapt to different heat producing situations such as for example during office work during walking or during sports activities Independent of the weather it is thereby also possible to counteract overheating in summer and severe under cooling of the extremities in winter The climate shaft Symphonie reg was developed in cooperation with orthopaedic technicians and specialists from the heat and storage technology areas as well as control specialists The product was extensively developed and tested under real conditions sealprene by Carsten Sauer Leg prosthesis protection for hobby and water sport For showering for hobby and water sport The protective covering sealprene presented in Leipzig for leg prostheses is practical manageable and can be taken with you everywhere The easy to maintain cover made of plastic that has been registered for patenting only

Climate system for prostheses ndash improvement of the wearing comfort through prevention of the heat build-up in the prosthesis shaft The technical development was brought to perfection in the last years through which the quality-of-life of amputees in the area of prosthetics experienced a substantial improvement The thermal aspect in the prosthesis shaft however remained relatively unattended although this represents an elementary problem The thermal area the heat metabolism and heat transport to the environment is especially disturbed in this area of the prosthesis shaft The sweat formation caused through the muscle activity and blood circulation of the stump represents a problem in a closed system - as is the prosthesis shaft - and can substantially restrict the quality-of-life of prosthesis wearers Heat accumulation and overheating within the prosthesis shaft are often the consequence and are associated with the loss of adhesion and control in the prosthesis shaft The permanently disrupted moisture metabolism leads to skin irritations fungal infections and the formation of odours A ldquosofteningldquo of the skin is prevented So it becomes more resistance towards mechanical influences It has also been found that there is reduced growth of bacteria through cooler temperatures Independent of the physical dynamics the sweat formation in the shaft has substantial effects on the fit of the prosthesis as well as on the gait Through the sweat formation the fresh feeling at the stump and also the perfect fit at the stump are reduced which is what invariably happens Through the prevention of the heat accumulation in the shaft area it has been possible to create an optimised innovative shaft system With the Symphonie reg climate shaft a product has been developed that resolves an elementary problem in prosthetics in an innovative way The worldwide newly developed technology for the first time offers the possibility of controlling the temperature within a closed system - as for example a prosthesis shaft - and to prevent sweating Through the thermal regulation of the heat energy an overheating in the shaft is prevented and this counteracts the formation of sweat in the shaft This objective was mainly implemented through the combination of a high performance heat (cold) storage material integrated into the shaft and a microprocessor controlled heat transfer to the surface of the storage element The control components that are also integrated in the shaft make it possible for the shaft wearer to make individual adjustments of their cooling requirements The wearer can for example adapt to different heat producing situations such as for example during office work during walking or during sports activities Independent of the weather it is thereby also possible to counteract overheating in summer and severe under cooling of the extremities in winter The climate shaft Symphonie reg was developed in cooperation with orthopaedic technicians and specialists from the heat and storage technology areas as well as control specialists The product was extensively developed and tested under real conditions sealprene by Carsten Sauer Leg prosthesis protection for hobby and water sport For showering for hobby and water sport The protective covering sealprene presented in Leipzig for leg prostheses is practical manageable and can be taken with you everywhere The easy to maintain cover made of plastic that has been registered for patenting only

Climate system for prostheses ndash improvement of the wearing comfort through prevention of the heat build-up in the prosthesis shaft The technical development was brought to perfection in the last years through which the quality-of-life of amputees in the area of prosthetics experienced a substantial improvement The thermal aspect in the prosthesis shaft however remained relatively unattended although this represents an elementary problem The thermal area the heat metabolism and heat transport to the environment is especially disturbed in this area of the prosthesis shaft The sweat formation caused through the muscle activity and blood circulation of the stump represents a problem in a closed system - as is the prosthesis shaft - and can substantially restrict the quality-of-life of prosthesis wearers Heat accumulation and overheating within the prosthesis shaft are often the consequence and are associated with the loss of adhesion and control in the prosthesis shaft The permanently disrupted moisture metabolism leads to skin irritations fungal infections and the formation of odours A ldquosofteningldquo of the skin is prevented So it becomes more resistance towards mechanical influences It has also been found that there is reduced growth of bacteria through cooler temperatures Independent of the physical dynamics the sweat formation in the shaft has substantial effects on the fit of the prosthesis as well as on the gait Through the sweat formation the fresh feeling at the stump and also the perfect fit at the stump are reduced which is what invariably happens Through the prevention of the heat accumulation in the shaft area it has been possible to create an optimised innovative shaft system With the Symphonie reg climate shaft a product has been developed that resolves an elementary problem in prosthetics in an innovative way The worldwide newly developed technology for the first time offers the possibility of controlling the temperature within a closed system - as for example a prosthesis shaft - and to prevent sweating Through the thermal regulation of the heat energy an overheating in the shaft is prevented and this counteracts the formation of sweat in the shaft This objective was mainly implemented through the combination of a high performance heat (cold) storage material integrated into the shaft and a microprocessor controlled heat transfer to the surface of the storage element The control components that are also integrated in the shaft make it possible for the shaft wearer to make individual adjustments of their cooling requirements The wearer can for example adapt to different heat producing situations such as for example during office work during walking or during sports activities Independent of the weather it is thereby also possible to counteract overheating in summer and severe under cooling of the extremities in winter The climate shaft Symphonie reg was developed in cooperation with orthopaedic technicians and specialists from the heat and storage technology areas as well as control specialists The product was extensively developed and tested under real conditions sealprene by Carsten Sauer Leg prosthesis protection for hobby and water sport For showering for hobby and water sport The protective covering sealprene presented in Leipzig for leg prostheses is practical manageable and can be taken with you everywhere The easy to maintain cover made of plastic that has been registered for patenting only

Climate system for prostheses ndash improvement of the wearing comfort through prevention of the heat build-up in the prosthesis shaft The technical development was brought to perfection in the last years through which the quality-of-life of amputees in the area of prosthetics experienced a substantial improvement The thermal aspect in the prosthesis shaft however remained relatively unattended although this represents an elementary problem The thermal area the heat metabolism and heat transport to the environment is especially disturbed in this area of the prosthesis shaft The sweat formation caused through the muscle activity and blood circulation of the stump represents a problem in a closed system - as is the prosthesis shaft - and can substantially restrict the quality-of-life of prosthesis wearers Heat accumulation and overheating within the prosthesis shaft are often the consequence and are associated with the loss of adhesion and control in the prosthesis shaft The permanently disrupted moisture metabolism leads to skin irritations fungal infections and the formation of odours A ldquosofteningldquo of the skin is prevented So it becomes more resistance towards mechanical influences It has also been found that there is reduced growth of bacteria through cooler temperatures Independent of the physical dynamics the sweat formation in the shaft has substantial effects on the fit of the prosthesis as well as on the gait Through the sweat formation the fresh feeling at the stump and also the perfect fit at the stump are reduced which is what invariably happens Through the prevention of the heat accumulation in the shaft area it has been possible to create an optimised innovative shaft system With the Symphonie reg climate shaft a product has been developed that resolves an elementary problem in prosthetics in an innovative way The worldwide newly developed technology for the first time offers the possibility of controlling the temperature within a closed system - as for example a prosthesis shaft - and to prevent sweating Through the thermal regulation of the heat energy an overheating in the shaft is prevented and this counteracts the formation of sweat in the shaft This objective was mainly implemented through the combination of a high performance heat (cold) storage material integrated into the shaft and a microprocessor controlled heat transfer to the surface of the storage element The control components that are also integrated in the shaft make it possible for the shaft wearer to make individual adjustments of their cooling requirements The wearer can for example adapt to different heat producing situations such as for example during office work during walking or during sports activities Independent of the weather it is thereby also possible to counteract overheating in summer and severe under cooling of the extremities in winter The climate shaft Symphonie reg was developed in cooperation with orthopaedic technicians and specialists from the heat and storage technology areas as well as control specialists The product was extensively developed and tested under real conditions sealprene by Carsten Sauer Leg prosthesis protection for hobby and water sport For showering for hobby and water sport The protective covering sealprene presented in Leipzig for leg prostheses is practical manageable and can be taken with you everywhere The easy to maintain cover made of plastic that has been registered for patenting only

Climate system for prostheses ndash improvement of the wearing comfort through prevention of the heat build-up in the prosthesis shaft The technical development was brought to perfection in the last years through which the quality-of-life of amputees in the area of prosthetics experienced a substantial improvement The thermal aspect in the prosthesis shaft however remained relatively unattended although this represents an elementary problem The thermal area the heat metabolism and heat transport to the environment is especially disturbed in this area of the prosthesis shaft The sweat formation caused through the muscle activity and blood circulation of the stump represents a problem in a closed system - as is the prosthesis shaft - and can substantially restrict the quality-of-life of prosthesis wearers Heat accumulation and overheating within the prosthesis shaft are often the consequence and are associated with the loss of adhesion and control in the prosthesis shaft The permanently disrupted moisture metabolism leads to skin irritations fungal infections and the formation of odours A ldquosofteningldquo of the skin is prevented So it becomes more resistance towards mechanical influences It has also been found that there is reduced growth of bacteria through cooler temperatures Independent of the physical dynamics the sweat formation in the shaft has substantial effects on the fit of the prosthesis as well as on the gait Through the sweat formation the fresh feeling at the stump and also the perfect fit at the stump are reduced which is what invariably happens Through the prevention of the heat accumulation in the shaft area it has been possible to create an optimised innovative shaft system With the Symphonie reg climate shaft a product has been developed that resolves an elementary problem in prosthetics in an innovative way The worldwide newly developed technology for the first time offers the possibility of controlling the temperature within a closed system - as for example a prosthesis shaft - and to prevent sweating Through the thermal regulation of the heat energy an overheating in the shaft is prevented and this counteracts the formation of sweat in the shaft This objective was mainly implemented through the combination of a high performance heat (cold) storage material integrated into the shaft and a microprocessor controlled heat transfer to the surface of the storage element The control components that are also integrated in the shaft make it possible for the shaft wearer to make individual adjustments of their cooling requirements The wearer can for example adapt to different heat producing situations such as for example during office work during walking or during sports activities Independent of the weather it is thereby also possible to counteract overheating in summer and severe under cooling of the extremities in winter The climate shaft Symphonie reg was developed in cooperation with orthopaedic technicians and specialists from the heat and storage technology areas as well as control specialists The product was extensively developed and tested under real conditions sealprene by Carsten Sauer Leg prosthesis protection for hobby and water sport For showering for hobby and water sport The protective covering sealprene presented in Leipzig for leg prostheses is practical manageable and can be taken with you everywhere The easy to maintain cover made of plastic that has been registered for patenting only

Climate system for prostheses ndash improvement of the wearing comfort through prevention of the heat build-up in the prosthesis shaft The technical development was brought to perfection in the last years through which the quality-of-life of amputees in the area of prosthetics experienced a substantial improvement The thermal aspect in the prosthesis shaft however remained relatively unattended although this represents an elementary problem The thermal area the heat metabolism and heat transport to the environment is especially disturbed in this area of the prosthesis shaft The sweat formation caused through the muscle activity and blood circulation of the stump represents a problem in a closed system - as is the prosthesis shaft - and can substantially restrict the quality-of-life of prosthesis wearers Heat accumulation and overheating within the prosthesis shaft are often the consequence and are associated with the loss of adhesion and control in the prosthesis shaft The permanently disrupted moisture metabolism leads to skin irritations fungal infections and the formation of odours A ldquosofteningldquo of the skin is prevented So it becomes more resistance towards mechanical influences It has also been found that there is reduced growth of bacteria through cooler temperatures Independent of the physical dynamics the sweat formation in the shaft has substantial effects on the fit of the prosthesis as well as on the gait Through the sweat formation the fresh feeling at the stump and also the perfect fit at the stump are reduced which is what invariably happens Through the prevention of the heat accumulation in the shaft area it has been possible to create an optimised innovative shaft system With the Symphonie reg climate shaft a product has been developed that resolves an elementary problem in prosthetics in an innovative way The worldwide newly developed technology for the first time offers the possibility of controlling the temperature within a closed system - as for example a prosthesis shaft - and to prevent sweating Through the thermal regulation of the heat energy an overheating in the shaft is prevented and this counteracts the formation of sweat in the shaft This objective was mainly implemented through the combination of a high performance heat (cold) storage material integrated into the shaft and a microprocessor controlled heat transfer to the surface of the storage element The control components that are also integrated in the shaft make it possible for the shaft wearer to make individual adjustments of their cooling requirements The wearer can for example adapt to different heat producing situations such as for example during office work during walking or during sports activities Independent of the weather it is thereby also possible to counteract overheating in summer and severe under cooling of the extremities in winter The climate shaft Symphonie reg was developed in cooperation with orthopaedic technicians and specialists from the heat and storage technology areas as well as control specialists The product was extensively developed and tested under real conditions sealprene by Carsten Sauer Leg prosthesis protection for hobby and water sport For showering for hobby and water sport The protective covering sealprene presented in Leipzig for leg prostheses is practical manageable and can be taken with you everywhere The easy to maintain cover made of plastic that has been registered for patenting only

Climate system for prostheses ndash improvement of the wearing comfort through prevention of the heat build-up in the prosthesis shaft The technical development was brought to perfection in the last years through which the quality-of-life of amputees in the area of prosthetics experienced a substantial improvement The thermal aspect in the prosthesis shaft however remained relatively unattended although this represents an elementary problem The thermal area the heat metabolism and heat transport to the environment is especially disturbed in this area of the prosthesis shaft The sweat formation caused through the muscle activity and blood circulation of the stump represents a problem in a closed system - as is the prosthesis shaft - and can substantially restrict the quality-of-life of prosthesis wearers Heat accumulation and overheating within the prosthesis shaft are often the consequence and are associated with the loss of adhesion and control in the prosthesis shaft The permanently disrupted moisture metabolism leads to skin irritations fungal infections and the formation of odours A ldquosofteningldquo of the skin is prevented So it becomes more resistance towards mechanical influences It has also been found that there is reduced growth of bacteria through cooler temperatures Independent of the physical dynamics the sweat formation in the shaft has substantial effects on the fit of the prosthesis as well as on the gait Through the sweat formation the fresh feeling at the stump and also the perfect fit at the stump are reduced which is what invariably happens Through the prevention of the heat accumulation in the shaft area it has been possible to create an optimised innovative shaft system With the Symphonie reg climate shaft a product has been developed that resolves an elementary problem in prosthetics in an innovative way The worldwide newly developed technology for the first time offers the possibility of controlling the temperature within a closed system - as for example a prosthesis shaft - and to prevent sweating Through the thermal regulation of the heat energy an overheating in the shaft is prevented and this counteracts the formation of sweat in the shaft This objective was mainly implemented through the combination of a high performance heat (cold) storage material integrated into the shaft and a microprocessor controlled heat transfer to the surface of the storage element The control components that are also integrated in the shaft make it possible for the shaft wearer to make individual adjustments of their cooling requirements The wearer can for example adapt to different heat producing situations such as for example during office work during walking or during sports activities Independent of the weather it is thereby also possible to counteract overheating in summer and severe under cooling of the extremities in winter The climate shaft Symphonie reg was developed in cooperation with orthopaedic technicians and specialists from the heat and storage technology areas as well as control specialists The product was extensively developed and tested under real conditions sealprene by Carsten Sauer Leg prosthesis protection for hobby and water sport For showering for hobby and water sport The protective covering sealprene presented in Leipzig for leg prostheses is practical manageable and can be taken with you everywhere The easy to maintain cover made of plastic that has been registered for patenting only

Climate system for prostheses ndash improvement of the wearing comfort through prevention of the heat build-up in the prosthesis shaft The technical development was brought to perfection in the last years through which the quality-of-life of amputees in the area of prosthetics experienced a substantial improvement The thermal aspect in the prosthesis shaft however remained relatively unattended although this represents an elementary problem The thermal area the heat metabolism and heat transport to the environment is especially disturbed in this area of the prosthesis shaft The sweat formation caused through the muscle activity and blood circulation of the stump represents a problem in a closed system - as is the prosthesis shaft - and can substantially restrict the quality-of-life of prosthesis wearers Heat accumulation and overheating within the prosthesis shaft are often the consequence and are associated with the loss of adhesion and control in the prosthesis shaft The permanently disrupted moisture metabolism leads to skin irritations fungal infections and the formation of odours A ldquosofteningldquo of the skin is prevented So it becomes more resistance towards mechanical influences It has also been found that there is reduced growth of bacteria through cooler temperatures Independent of the physical dynamics the sweat formation in the shaft has substantial effects on the fit of the prosthesis as well as on the gait Through the sweat formation the fresh feeling at the stump and also the perfect fit at the stump are reduced which is what invariably happens Through the prevention of the heat accumulation in the shaft area it has been possible to create an optimised innovative shaft system With the Symphonie reg climate shaft a product has been developed that resolves an elementary problem in prosthetics in an innovative way The worldwide newly developed technology for the first time offers the possibility of controlling the temperature within a closed system - as for example a prosthesis shaft - and to prevent sweating Through the thermal regulation of the heat energy an overheating in the shaft is prevented and this counteracts the formation of sweat in the shaft This objective was mainly implemented through the combination of a high performance heat (cold) storage material integrated into the shaft and a microprocessor controlled heat transfer to the surface of the storage element The control components that are also integrated in the shaft make it possible for the shaft wearer to make individual adjustments of their cooling requirements The wearer can for example adapt to different heat producing situations such as for example during office work during walking or during sports activities Independent of the weather it is thereby also possible to counteract overheating in summer and severe under cooling of the extremities in winter The climate shaft Symphonie reg was developed in cooperation with orthopaedic technicians and specialists from the heat and storage technology areas as well as control specialists The product was extensively developed and tested under real conditions sealprene by Carsten Sauer Leg prosthesis protection for hobby and water sport For showering for hobby and water sport The protective covering sealprene presented in Leipzig for leg prostheses is practical manageable and can be taken with you everywhere The easy to maintain cover made of plastic that has been registered for patenting only

Climate system for prostheses ndash improvement of the wearing comfort through prevention of the heat build-up in the prosthesis shaft The technical development was brought to perfection in the last years through which the quality-of-life of amputees in the area of prosthetics experienced a substantial improvement The thermal aspect in the prosthesis shaft however remained relatively unattended although this represents an elementary problem The thermal area the heat metabolism and heat transport to the environment is especially disturbed in this area of the prosthesis shaft The sweat formation caused through the muscle activity and blood circulation of the stump represents a problem in a closed system - as is the prosthesis shaft - and can substantially restrict the quality-of-life of prosthesis wearers Heat accumulation and overheating within the prosthesis shaft are often the consequence and are associated with the loss of adhesion and control in the prosthesis shaft The permanently disrupted moisture metabolism leads to skin irritations fungal infections and the formation of odours A ldquosofteningldquo of the skin is prevented So it becomes more resistance towards mechanical influences It has also been found that there is reduced growth of bacteria through cooler temperatures Independent of the physical dynamics the sweat formation in the shaft has substantial effects on the fit of the prosthesis as well as on the gait Through the sweat formation the fresh feeling at the stump and also the perfect fit at the stump are reduced which is what invariably happens Through the prevention of the heat accumulation in the shaft area it has been possible to create an optimised innovative shaft system With the Symphonie reg climate shaft a product has been developed that resolves an elementary problem in prosthetics in an innovative way The worldwide newly developed technology for the first time offers the possibility of controlling the temperature within a closed system - as for example a prosthesis shaft - and to prevent sweating Through the thermal regulation of the heat energy an overheating in the shaft is prevented and this counteracts the formation of sweat in the shaft This objective was mainly implemented through the combination of a high performance heat (cold) storage material integrated into the shaft and a microprocessor controlled heat transfer to the surface of the storage element The control components that are also integrated in the shaft make it possible for the shaft wearer to make individual adjustments of their cooling requirements The wearer can for example adapt to different heat producing situations such as for example during office work during walking or during sports activities Independent of the weather it is thereby also possible to counteract overheating in summer and severe under cooling of the extremities in winter The climate shaft Symphonie reg was developed in cooperation with orthopaedic technicians and specialists from the heat and storage technology areas as well as control specialists The product was extensively developed and tested under real conditions sealprene by Carsten Sauer Leg prosthesis protection for hobby and water sport For showering for hobby and water sport The protective covering sealprene presented in Leipzig for leg prostheses is practical manageable and can be taken with you everywhere The easy to maintain cover made of plastic that has been registered for patenting only

Climate system for prostheses ndash improvement of the wearing comfort through prevention of the heat build-up in the prosthesis shaft The technical development was brought to perfection in the last years through which the quality-of-life of amputees in the area of prosthetics experienced a substantial improvement The thermal aspect in the prosthesis shaft however remained relatively unattended although this represents an elementary problem The thermal area the heat metabolism and heat transport to the environment is especially disturbed in this area of the prosthesis shaft The sweat formation caused through the muscle activity and blood circulation of the stump represents a problem in a closed system - as is the prosthesis shaft - and can substantially restrict the quality-of-life of prosthesis wearers Heat accumulation and overheating within the prosthesis shaft are often the consequence and are associated with the loss of adhesion and control in the prosthesis shaft The permanently disrupted moisture metabolism leads to skin irritations fungal infections and the formation of odours A ldquosofteningldquo of the skin is prevented So it becomes more resistance towards mechanical influences It has also been found that there is reduced growth of bacteria through cooler temperatures Independent of the physical dynamics the sweat formation in the shaft has substantial effects on the fit of the prosthesis as well as on the gait Through the sweat formation the fresh feeling at the stump and also the perfect fit at the stump are reduced which is what invariably happens Through the prevention of the heat accumulation in the shaft area it has been possible to create an optimised innovative shaft system With the Symphonie reg climate shaft a product has been developed that resolves an elementary problem in prosthetics in an innovative way The worldwide newly developed technology for the first time offers the possibility of controlling the temperature within a closed system - as for example a prosthesis shaft - and to prevent sweating Through the thermal regulation of the heat energy an overheating in the shaft is prevented and this counteracts the formation of sweat in the shaft This objective was mainly implemented through the combination of a high performance heat (cold) storage material integrated into the shaft and a microprocessor controlled heat transfer to the surface of the storage element The control components that are also integrated in the shaft make it possible for the shaft wearer to make individual adjustments of their cooling requirements The wearer can for example adapt to different heat producing situations such as for example during office work during walking or during sports activities Independent of the weather it is thereby also possible to counteract overheating in summer and severe under cooling of the extremities in winter The climate shaft Symphonie reg was developed in cooperation with orthopaedic technicians and specialists from the heat and storage technology areas as well as control specialists The product was extensively developed and tested under real conditions sealprene by Carsten Sauer Leg prosthesis protection for hobby and water sport For showering for hobby and water sport The protective covering sealprene presented in Leipzig for leg prostheses is practical manageable and can be taken with you everywhere The easy to maintain cover made of plastic that has been registered for patenting only

Climate system for prostheses ndash improvement of the wearing comfort through prevention of the heat build-up in the prosthesis shaft The technical development was brought to perfection in the last years through which the quality-of-life of amputees in the area of prosthetics experienced a substantial improvement The thermal aspect in the prosthesis shaft however remained relatively unattended although this represents an elementary problem The thermal area the heat metabolism and heat transport to the environment is especially disturbed in this area of the prosthesis shaft The sweat formation caused through the muscle activity and blood circulation of the stump represents a problem in a closed system - as is the prosthesis shaft - and can substantially restrict the quality-of-life of prosthesis wearers Heat accumulation and overheating within the prosthesis shaft are often the consequence and are associated with the loss of adhesion and control in the prosthesis shaft The permanently disrupted moisture metabolism leads to skin irritations fungal infections and the formation of odours A ldquosofteningldquo of the skin is prevented So it becomes more resistance towards mechanical influences It has also been found that there is reduced growth of bacteria through cooler temperatures Independent of the physical dynamics the sweat formation in the shaft has substantial effects on the fit of the prosthesis as well as on the gait Through the sweat formation the fresh feeling at the stump and also the perfect fit at the stump are reduced which is what invariably happens Through the prevention of the heat accumulation in the shaft area it has been possible to create an optimised innovative shaft system With the Symphonie reg climate shaft a product has been developed that resolves an elementary problem in prosthetics in an innovative way The worldwide newly developed technology for the first time offers the possibility of controlling the temperature within a closed system - as for example a prosthesis shaft - and to prevent sweating Through the thermal regulation of the heat energy an overheating in the shaft is prevented and this counteracts the formation of sweat in the shaft This objective was mainly implemented through the combination of a high performance heat (cold) storage material integrated into the shaft and a microprocessor controlled heat transfer to the surface of the storage element The control components that are also integrated in the shaft make it possible for the shaft wearer to make individual adjustments of their cooling requirements The wearer can for example adapt to different heat producing situations such as for example during office work during walking or during sports activities Independent of the weather it is thereby also possible to counteract overheating in summer and severe under cooling of the extremities in winter The climate shaft Symphonie reg was developed in cooperation with orthopaedic technicians and specialists from the heat and storage technology areas as well as control specialists The product was extensively developed and tested under real conditions sealprene by Carsten Sauer Leg prosthesis protection for hobby and water sport For showering for hobby and water sport The protective covering sealprene presented in Leipzig for leg prostheses is practical manageable and can be taken with you everywhere The easy to maintain cover made of plastic that has been registered for patenting only
