#CMT# #/CMT# The device (10) has a telescopic mast (11) possessing graduations corresponding to a distance between ends (11a, 11b). A strip (15) has an end connected to the mast by a joint that is placed nearer to the end (11a) of the mast. The strip has graduations whose origin coincides with the end (11a) of the mast. A closed loop shaped belt (16) with adjustable perimeter, is slidably mounted along a direction in a guiding element (17) that is slidably mounted along another direction of the strip, and has graduations which correspond to its perimeter. #CMT#USE : #/CMT# Device for measuring perimeter of a femoral stump of a patient based on distance separating a plane that is perpendicular to a femur and ischio-pubic branch of the patient. #CMT#ADVANTAGE : #/CMT# The configuration of the device permits measuring perimeter of the stump in a plane perpendicular to a femur of a patient based on a precise distance separating the plane and ischio-pubic branch of the patient, in a precise manner, thus improving quality of socket prosthesis and improving comfort of the patient and reliability of the prosthesis. The device is simple in design and inexpensive. #CMT#DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS : #/CMT# The drawing shows a perspective view of a femoral stump perimeter measuring device. 10 : Femoral stump perimeter measuring device 11 : Telescopic mast 11a, 11b : Ends 15 : Strip 16 : Closed loop shaped belt 17 : Guiding element. |
