Prosthetic limbs restore mobility, independence and confidence for people who have lost an arm or leg through injury, illness, or congenital conditions. A prosthesis replaces the form and function of the missing limb, enabling walking, grasping, balance and everyday activities while also supporting long-term health and activity goals.
Medical amputation due to vascular disease, infection or cancer
How prosthetic limbs are manufacturedManufacture combines clinical assessment, custom design and precision fabrication. The process begins with gait and functional assessment, followed by casting or 3D scanning of the residual limb to create an accurate socket fit. Prosthetists design the limb based on activity level and goals, select components and materials, and refine the device through iterative fitting and alignment sessions. Final finishing includes cosmetic covers and fine-tuning for comfort and performance.
