ProtheseThe EEP Construction

 
The EEP is made up of several modules. They can be subdivided into an inner module and an external modul. The inner module, the so-called stem, is directly implanted into the remaining bone (i.e. femur, tibia or humerus).

One special feature of the implant is the pa-tented Spongiosa-Metal® II surface. This surface allows the bone to grow through its three-dimensional grid structure (osseointegration), which secures a stable fixation of the prosthesis.

The dual cone adapter connects the internal and external modules. Fixed internally, it leads out of the stump and perforates the skin at the so-called stoma region creating a direct pathway from the inside to the outside components.

The silicone cover is used to protect the de-scribed stoma. The sleeve and the rotation disc serve as mechanical connections for the following knee connecting adapter, the artificial knee joint and/ or the lower artificial limb prosthetic system. All the artificial joint components can be quickly and easily linked to the internal-prosthesis using the knee connection adapter.
