Prosthetics Service

The Prosthetics Service provides manmade limbs (prostheses), that are devices designed to replace missing arms or legs. They are created to mimic the function and appearance of natural limbs as closely as possible.

All prostheses are custom-made to fit each person’s structure and specific needs to ensure comfort, function and use. They help people regain movement, perform daily activities, and take part in physical and social activities.
