3D Printed Coploy (KyronMax) Sockets: Key Use Cases

3D printed Coploy (KyronMax) sockets offer rapid, durable, and lightweight solutions for specialized prosthetic applications. They are particularly valuable in short-term fitting and environment-specific prostheses.

Preparatory Socket (Semi-Permanent

1. Purpose: Serves as a transitional socket during early prosthetic fitting.
2. Duration: Typically 2–3 months of use.
3. Clinical Benefits:

• Accommodates residual limb volume changes while providing functional stability.
• Enables assessment of comfort, alignment, and gait before definitive socket fabrication.
• Rapid 3D printing accelerates delivery and fitting timelines.

Shower Leg Socket

1. Purpose: Designed for safe mobility in wet environments.
2. Design Intent:

• Waterproof or water-tolerant construction for shower or bathroom use.
• Provides stability and reduces slip risk for amputees navigating wet surfaces.

3. Critical Note:

• Not intended for day-to-day ambulation.
• Strictly for shower or limited wet-area use to ease stress and improve safety.

Clinical Considerations

1. All CPX sockets should be fabricated and fitted under professional oversight.
2. Monitor preparatory sockets for fit, comfort, and residual limb changes.
3. Optional reinforcement: Wrapping the CPX socket with composite or reinforcing tape can provide additional support and strength for higher-activity patients, but it is not mandatory like it often is with PETG/Vivak check sockets used for full-weight walking.

• Shower leg setups should incorporate slip-resistant features and follow proper usage instructions.
