Foreword

The ICRC polypropylene technology

Sinceitsinceptionin1979,theICRC’sPhysicalRehabilitationProgrammehaspromotedtheuseoftechnologythatisappropriatetothespecificcontextsinwhichtheorganizationoperates,i.e.,countriesaffectedbywarandlow-incomeordevelopingcountries.

Thetechnologymustalsobetailoredtomeettheneedsofthephysicallydisabledinthecountriesconcerned.

Thetechnologyadoptedmustthereforebe:

• durable,comfortable,easyforpatientstouseandmaintain;• easyfortechnicianstolearn,useandrepair;• standardizedbutcompatiblewiththeclimateindifferentregionsoftheworld;• low-costbutmodernandconsistentwithinternationallyacceptedstandards;• easilyavailable.

Thechoiceoftechnologyisofgreatimportanceforpromotingsustainablephysicalrehabilitationservices.

Forallthesereasons,theICRCpreferredtodevelopitsowntechniqueinsteadofbuyingready-madeorthopaediccomponents,whicharegenerallytooexpensiveandunsuitedtothecontextsinwhichtheorganizationworks.ThecostofthematerialsusedinICRCprostheticandorthoticdevicesislowerthanthatofthematerialsusedinappliancesassembledfromcommercialready-madecomponents.

WhentheICRClauncheditsphysicalrehabilitationprogrammesbackin1979,locallyavailablematerialssuchaswood,leatherandmetalwereused,andorthopaediccomponentsweremanufacturedlocally.Intheearly1990stheICRCstartedtheprocessofstandardizingthetechniquesusedinitsvariousprojectsaroundtheworld,forthesakeofharmonizationbetweentheprojects,butmoreimportantlytoimprovethequalityofservicestopatients.

Polypropylene(PP)wasintroducedintoICRCprojectsin1988forthemanufactureofprostheticsockets.Thefirstpolypropyleneknee-jointwasproducedinCambodiain1991;othercomponentssuchasvariousalignmentsystemswerefirstdevelopedinColombiaandgraduallyimproved.Inparallel,adurablefoot,madeinitiallyofpolypropyleneandEthylVinylAcetate(EVA),andnowofpolypropyleneandpolyurethane,replacedthetraditionalwooden/rubberfoot.
