Description
The idea for this prosthetic socket design is attempt to redefine the concept of a respirator, from socket that hold the stump, to a functional socket design that actively breathes on amputee’s skin. The goal of this project is to achieve the concept that provide comfortable, hygienic, and convenient prosthetic socket for daily use. The new design of prosthetic socket give skin breathable and protect from humidity which lead to many skin problem and discomfort especially in long duration of wearing prosthetic socket. As for material, the use of natural fibre such as kenaf to produce prosthetic limbs would not only reduce the dependency on fossil fuels, but would also enable Malaysia to produce its own artificial limbs from locally grown plantation crop.
