Below-knee amputation means the loss of the lower limb below the knee, with the knee joint remaining functional. This level of amputation enables very good rehabilitation results and, in most cases, a return to independent, active life.
With modern prosthetics, an individual approach, and properly selected components, it is possible to achieve a high degree of comfort, safety, and mobility—regardless of age or lifestyle.
What is a below-knee prosthesis?
A below-knee (transtibial) prosthesis replaces the function of the foot and ankle and provides stable, natural walking. The prosthesis is typically lighter, offers better movement control, and greater mobility compared to higher-level amputations.
Every prosthesis consists of three basic components:
- Custom-made socket
- Connecting tubes or adapters
- Prosthetic foot
The final assembly is always customized to the individual—their physical condition, activity level, and daily needs.
Socket – Foundation of Every Good Prosthesis
The most important part of every prosthesis is the socket, as it is the only point of contact between the body and the prosthesis.
A good socket must be:
- comfortable,
- precisely fitted,
- able to properly distribute loads,
- able to prevent pain and skin issues.
If the socket is not properly made, even the most advanced technologies or bionic components cannot ensure optimal performance.
Our company produces a wide range of modern sockets for users of all ages and mobility levels. All sockets are individually shaped, made from the latest materials, and precisely adapted to the shape of the residual limb.
Selection of Prosthetic Foot – Tailored to Your Lifestyle
The prosthetic foot plays a key role in the feel of walking, balance, and energy efficiency.
We offer a wide range of feet from renowned global manufacturers, differing by activity level, performance, functionality, and price range.
Our prosthetists will detail the advantages of each model and help you select the most suitable solution. If in stock, you can test the chosen foot for free to confirm its suitability in practice.
Aesthetic Prosthesis Cosmetics
In addition to functionality, we provide custom-made aesthetic cosmetics that give the prosthesis a natural and discreet appearance. The cosmetics are tailored to the user’s shape, color preferences, and wishes, contributing to greater confidence in daily life.
Prosthetic Cosmetics
The appearance of the prosthesis is an important step in assembling every prosthesis, as it reflects your style. We offer a wide range of options, from a natural look 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 3D printed cosmetics with these advantages:
- Durability: Significantly longer lifespan compared to traditional foam.
- Resistance: Does not absorb moisture, avoids odors, and does not interfere with mechanical components (e.g., knee units).
- Aesthetic freedom: Available in classic skin tones for discreet integration or modern, avant-garde shapes that highlight your unique character.
- Personalization and precision: 3D printing enables custom shapes and designs tailored exactly to your measurements, a leading trend in prosthetic cosmetics.
Foam cosmetics
Traditional soft foam cosmetics provide proven solutions for a natural look:
- Standard skin stocking: Basic and affordable option.
- Silicone stockings: Premium natural appearance that mimics skin details like textures and tones for a realistic look.
Why cosmetics matter?
- Cosmetics enhance the prosthesis’s aesthetic appeal, helping it blend with the body or stand out per your style.
- They protect mechanical parts from impacts, dust, and dirt, extending prosthesis lifespan.
- Properly chosen cosmetics boost user confidence and comfort, as aesthetics influence social ease and body integration.
- Covers also shield sensitive components and ease clothing wear with smooth surfaces and added functionality.
