Pre-Prosthetic Management
Post-Operative Solutions
The Rigid Dressing immobilises, protects and controls post-operative oedema in the transtibial residual limb immediately following transtibial amputation surgery.
Immobilisation and oedema control are achieved by providing a firm dressing formed to match the volume and shape of the residual limb.
The immobilisation will assist in prevention of contractures by restricting knee flexion. Effectively constraining and matching the volume of the residual limb will prevent an increase in oedema following surgery. Containing the residual limb provides protection from discomfort, caused by bed trauma or possible falls during early rehabilitation.
Post-Op Liners
Post-Op liner is used for compression therapy. The Post-Op liner features an Easy Glide coating that makes donning and doffing easier.
Early treatment with an Post-Op liner has been shown to assist early mobilization and speed up the wound healing process of the residual limb.
This makes it possible to provide the amputee with a prosthesis at an earlier stage, leading to less dependence on medical staff.
Prosthetic Socket Technology
Design and Manufacturing of Prosthetic Sockets
The prosthetic socket is the primary and most critical component of a prosthesis, and therefore a good, comfortable fit is required to ensure a positive outcome is achieved. The socket has to have adequate load transmission, to ensure stability, control and comfort.
Different processes of manufacturing a prosthetic socket are available. The conventional method of socket fabrication begins with taking measurements and a negative cast of the residual limb. The cast is filled with plaster to create a positive mould. The positive mould is then modified to optimize the socket fit. The socket is then laminated using carbon and resin to create the custom socket. This is referred to as the definitive socket.
New Direct Socket Technology
Our team has vast experience in the manufacturing and fitting of the enhanced Direct Socket Technology which has replaced the Modular Socket System.
From start to finish, the Direct Socket System can be fabricated and fitted to transtibial and transfemoral patients. The simplicity and efficiency of fit makes it the perfect solution for any setting.
Direct Socket prosthesis using the direct lamination method, with new improved material choices and improved fabrication technique can be utilised with different suspension solutions.
