Utilizing the Lightweight and Porous Structure of Biochar in the Development of Advanced Prosthetic Leg Sockets-A Review

Traditional prosthetic leg sockets are generally made of thermoplastics, carbon fiber, and silicone, which are probative and durable but have several limitations. These accoutrements constantly discomfort, pressure blisters, and skin vexation for the stoner since they're thick, stiff, and inadequately voiced. using biochar from prosopis juliflora, a plant known for its robust fiber structure. The porous, light biochar retains structural integrity, improves breathability, and reduces the overall weight of the socket. The research also uses vinyl ester and Cyperus pangorei fiber to create strong, lightweight prosthetic leg sockets. The goal is to improve breathability and comfort while reducing environmental impact. This eco-friendly, practical, and comfortable alternative to traditional prosthetic sockets aims to provide a more sustainable and environmentally responsible alternative to traditional materials.
