Also in
scientific circles, Pohlig company has been known since long.
For example, the ortheses as developed by the company have
found great interest in renowned clinics and hospitals.
Special procedures allow correction of sceletal deformities
with a precision unknown before and, based thereon, the
physician can recommend individual treatment methods.
In house seminars and training courses for physicians,
physiotherapists, and orthopaedic technicians, the required
knowledge is passed on to a wide professional public to be
made familiar with the new products and procedures, such as
the manufacturing technique of the talus reposition
ringorthesis according to Dr. Monique Baise.
A striking example of the progress made by Pohlig in the
field of research and development is provided by the silicone
technique. In this area Pohlig in Germany has reached a
leading position. The particularly well suited properties of
this material offer essential advantages to the patients. On
the one hand, because it renders possible a good conformity to
the body and on the other hand, it allows such life like
duplication of artificial limbs that these can hardly be
distinguished from natural extremities. To achieve this Pohlig
cooperates with medical specialists such as hand surgeons and
cosmetic surgeons.
The above knee protheses are manufactured to the CAT-CAM
method developed in our company. In numerous intensive
seminars the difficult technique has been taught to interested
orthopaedic technicians who arrived from the entire Federal
Republic and the European countries.
The patented AirContactSystem by Pohlig offers to the
patient an optimization of adapting the prothetic shaft to the
actual personal needs within a few seconds.
The latest produce of intensive research and development in
the prothetic field is the transparent container procedure.
With this method it has become possible for the first time
with plastic material shafts to introduce the definite
material already during the fitting phase and thus to
eliminate problems connected with the material during
fabrication.
