For the first time in Russia, specialists from the Center for Innovation in Traumatology and Orthopedics (CITO), which is part of the Rostec State Corporation, demonstrated a knee module for mechanical prostheses. This development is designed to help people who have undergone amputation at the hip level.
Import substitution in prosthetics is a key factor for the sustainable development of the industry. We are actively creating analogues of imported products, equipment and materials.
Knee module for hip prostheses, designed for people with leg amputation above the knee. This import-substituting module, created in two years, has a simple mechanical control system and can withstand weight up to 125 kg. It is equipped with a manual lock for fixing the knee and a tension mechanism for unlocking. The use of needle bearings ensures reliability and smooth movement. The module is compatible with most prosthetic components available in Russia. Initial prototypes were printed on a 3D printer, and subsequent tests and improvements made it more durable and reliable than foreign analogues. Made of lightweight and durable aluminum alloy, the module provides stability and comfort when walking.
