Combined Fiber of Polyester and Bamboo for Prosthetic Socks for Better Absorbent and Antimicrobial Activity

Prosthetic socks, a crucial element in the comfort and well-being of individuals with prosthetic limbs, are the subject ofour innovative study. We present a novel approach by combining bamboo and polyester fibers to manufacture these socks.Bamboo, renowned for its eco-friendliness and natural properties, provides antibacterial, anti-allergic, and anti-irritant benefitswhile requiring minimal water for cultivation. Polyester, a synthetic polymer, boasts hydrophobic characteristics, ensuringquick drying and remarkable durability. By merging these materials, we create prosthetic socks that offer a unique blend ofadvantages. The socks combat skin infections caused by excessive sweating due to bamboo’s antimicrobial properties, whilepolyester contributes to moisture-wicking and rapid drying.Furthermore, the socks promise enhanced comfort, softness, and durability, catering to the active lifestyle demands ofprosthetic users. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of prosthetic socks in preventing the growth of bacteria andfungi that can cause odor and infection while also enhancing quick drying and high absorbency properties. The research willevaluate the performance of different prosthetic socks through laboratory testing and user feedback surveys. The findingswill provide valuable insights into improving prosthetic socks’ design and functionality, ultimately enhancing amputees’quality of life. Additionally, it seeks to evaluate the performance enhancements related to quick drying and high absorbencyproperties. Additionally, the research explores the socks’ quick-drying and high-absorbency properties, which are crucialfactors in maintaining hygiene and comfort for prosthetic wearers. Overall, this investigation presents a promising solutionthat addresses practical concerns associated with prosthetic socks and aligns with sustainability goals by integrating naturaland synthetic materials.For this, there is a possible way to combine polyester and bamboo fibers to enhance prosthetic socks’ absorbent and antimicrobialproperties, improving overall comfort and hygiene for the wearer.
