Abstract:
1. An exoskeletal prosthesis system comprising: a bone anchored mounting post with a fixator structure protruding from the mounting post through soft tissue at the end of a residual limb and defining a free end for attachment to a prosthesis; a socket formed in an upper end of the prosthesis; and a containment cap including a cap body having a bore formed therein for removable slide-fit placement of said cap body onto the external fixator structure, said cap body being adapted to be positioned between the prosthesis and the soft tissue at the end of the residual limb, said cap body at least partially positioned within the socket at an upper end of the prosthesis, and a resilient member carried by said cap body in a position closely overlying and substantially circumscribing an interface between the soft tissue at the end of the residual limb and the fixator structure, the resilient member supporting a medicant selected from the group consisting essentially of an antimicrobial agent, an antibacterial agent, an anti-inflammation agent, and combinations thereof.
