When do you need a Prosthesis?
If you were born without a body part or lost it to an injury or disease, you might need or want a prosthesis. Prostheses are indicated in cases of:
- Traumatic injury requiring reconstructive surgery
- Cancer (or cancer risk) requiring removal of a body part
- Limb loss due to injury or disease (diabetes)
- Congenital (present-at-birth defects)
- Long-term wear and tear on a body part (from arthritis)

Finger Prosthesis

Lower Extremity Prosthesis
Above Knee Prosthesis
- Stance-control knees often called “safety knees”
- These knees swing freely when there is little or no weight on the prosthesis but when weight is applied to the knee, they lock
- They are appropriate for amputees who have some but limited control over their knee
- Stance-control knees provide safety if such an amputee mistakenly tries to step on a partially bent knee when walking, when they apply their weight to the partially bent knee, the brake will prevent the leg from collapsing underneath them
Below Knee Prosthesis
- Simple and sophisticated design
- Highly economical option and lightweight
- Structurally tested for up to 1 00k.g user weight
- Foot based on SACH principle with waterproof system
- Lightweight and cast effective
