Prosthetic limbs and modular components for below-knee, above-knee and upper-limb levels, including custom sockets, for prosthetic clinics, rehabilitation centres, hospital buyers and device distributors.

Product Description:

Prosthetic limbs replace part or all of a missing arm or leg. Lower-limb prostheses are grouped by level, mainly below-knee (transtibial) and above-knee (transfemoral), and are built from a socket, suspension, pylon, joints and a prosthetic foot. Upper-limb devices range from passive cosmetic hands to body-powered hooks and myoelectric hands driven by muscle signals read through the skin. Most are assembled by a prosthetist from modular carbon fibre, titanium or aluminium parts, with a socket made for each user.

The prosthetist matches components to the user's activity level, weight and goals. A low-activity user may need a stable knee with a lock, while an active user may use a microprocessor knee and an energy-storing foot. Fitting involves casting or scanning the residual limb, a test socket, alignment and gait training with a physiotherapist. Sockets need replacing as the residual limb changes shape, and children need regular refitting. Feet, liners and knee units carry weight limits and service intervals.

Sourcing notes. Prosthetic components are medical devices. In the EU they are CE marked under the Medical Device Regulation, and sockets made for one named patient follow the custom-made device rules. In the US, external limb prosthetic components are FDA-regulated devices, many exempt from premarket review. Key standards are ISO 10328 for structural testing of lower-limb prostheses and ISO 13485. Ask for test reports with load level and user weight, the declaration of conformity and service schedule; powered devices also need battery and electrical safety documents.
