First visit

After evaluating the level of your daily activities, you will be offered the most optimal prosthesis option in consultation with a technical orthopedist.

When arriving for a consultation:
– you must bring your personal identification document and previously performed examinations.
– be aware that you will have to expose the area of the amputation trunk so that the technical orthopedist can look at it, take measurements and take a cast that will serve as the basis for making a prosthesis.

Measurements, fabrication and fitting

The manufacture of individual aids begins with taking measurements. Depending on the complexity of the product, the duration of the production of the aid is agreed with the patient. We also adapt factory-made assistive devices.
