Above-knee (transfemoral) amputation involves the loss of the limb above the knee, requiring a somewhat more complex prosthetic solution. With the appropriate prosthesis, professional support, and an individual approach, it is possible to regain stable walking, mobility, and independence in daily life.
With modern above-knee prosthetics, you can continue an active lifestyle and participate in sports, professional, and social activities.
What is an Above-Knee Prosthesis?
An above-knee prosthesis replaces the function of the knee, foot, and ankle, enabling stable and safe walking. The prosthesis consists of:
- Individually made socket
- Prosthetic knee
- Connecting tubes or adapters
- Prosthetic foot
Each component is selected based on your body, activity level, and lifestyle to ensure maximum comfort, efficiency, and safety.
Socket – Foundation of Above-Knee Prosthesis
The socket is the most important part of the prosthesis, as it is the only contact point between the body and the prosthesis. We produce it individually from advanced materials that ensure:
- optimal fit to the residual limb,
- comfort even during prolonged use,
- durability with a long lifespan.
If the socket is not suitable, even the most sophisticated components cannot achieve optimal functionality.
Prosthetic Knee and Foot
The prosthetic knee enables natural bending and stability during walking, while the prosthetic foot provides energy-efficient and safe movement.
We offer a wide range of knees and feet from renowned manufacturers, from basic models to advanced sports and electronic systems. Together with our experts, you select the best combination of components tailored to your gait pattern and lifestyle.
Aesthetic and Individual Customization
We also offer custom-made cosmetics that can give your prosthesis:
- natural and neutral appearance,
- or a futuristic/bionic look, according to your preference.
This way, the prosthesis not only provides functionality but also looks as you wish.
Prosthesis Cosmetics
The appearance of the prosthesis is an important step in its assembly, as it reflects your style. We offer a wide range of options, from natural looks to more creative solutions. Together with our experts, you design individual cosmetics for all types of prostheses according to your wishes and possibilities.
Without Cosmetics: Highlight the Technology
Some users choose to leave their prosthesis in its basic, technological form. In this case, you can focus on customizing the socket, which becomes the central element:
- Various carbon fiber textures: Choose from different colors and patterns.
3D Printed Cosmetics
For those seeking cutting-edge technology, we offer cosmetics made with 3D printing. Its advantages include:
- Durability: Significantly longer lifespan compared to traditional foam.
- Resistance: Does not absorb moisture, avoids unpleasant odors, and does not interfere with mechanical components (e.g., knee units).
- Aesthetic freedom: Can be made in classic skin tones for discreet integration or in modern, avant-garde shapes that emphasize your unique character.
- Personalization and precision: 3D printing enables the creation of unique shapes and designs tailored exactly to your measurements, one of the main trends in prosthetic cosmetics today.
Foam Cosmetics
Traditional soft foam cosmetics offer several proven solutions for a natural look:
- Standard skin stocking: Basic and affordable option.
- Silicone stockings: Premium natural appearance that can even mimic skin details like textures and tones for a more realistic look.
Why Cosmetics Matter?
- Cosmetics improve the prosthesis’s aesthetic appearance and help integrate it with the rest of the body or visually emphasize it according to your style.
- Cosmetic covers protect mechanical parts from impacts, dust, and dirt, thereby extending the prosthesis’s lifespan.
- Properly selected cosmetics can enhance user confidence and self-esteem, as aesthetic appearance significantly affects social comfort and the sense of body belonging.
- Cosmetic covers are often used to protect sensitive prosthesis components and facilitate clothing wear, providing a smooth surface and additional functionality.
