We are happy to try these technologies on you free of charge before you commit yourself to purchasing them

Innovations In Care

We are the only Company within the UK that can offer you the option to have a Bioscanner™ Laser Scan of your residual limb anatomy. With its unique twin camera accuracy we can produce a model of your residual limb within minutes.

   


This CAD system gives us the ability to produce models that are accurate to 0.005 inch of your residual limb surface.  The whole system of choice for us is :



This CAD/CAM system is exclusively used by our clinicians in the UK. It has proven positive clinical outcomes in applications throughout the world. Faster and more accurate results are produced.

Biosculptor can accept images form a number of other devices such as MRI and CT scans.

These models are modified in the computer system and can accurately be enlarged and reduced in volume if the patient’s weight alters. As a patient you can directly see what modifications have been done to your sockets on request.

Biosculptor allows us to securely store your prosthetic details for a number of years and when required comparison and consistency can be achieved

The OSSUR Power Knee®

Ossur power knee The world's first powered bionic prosthesis for above-knee amputees,  the POWER KNEE offers unprecedented levels of functionality and performance. This bionic knee replaces true muscle activity to bend and straighten the knee as required.

 

The OSSUR RHEO Knee®

Ossur Rheo Knee

The RHEO KNEE® is the world's first microprocessor swing and stance knee system to utilize the power of artificial intelligence. Capable of independent thought, it learns how the user walks, recognizing and responding immediately to changes in speed, load and terrain.

The knee adapts to any situation, and not just within pre-set and limited parameters, enabling the individual to quickly regain confidence in his or her ability to walk where and how they choose.
 

 

The OSSUR PROPRIO Foot®

The world's first intelligent foot module, the PROPRIO FOOT provides unprecedented physiological benefits for transtibial amputees. A wide and automated range of ankle flexion with proven Flex-Foot dynamics means function is as close as you can get today to the human foot.

The PROPRIO FOOT thinks for itself, responding beautifully to changing terrain and transforming the approach to stairs and slopes, as well as level-ground walking. Angling itself appropriately, it also helps amputees to sit and stand up easily and more naturally. The PROPRIO FOOT® also has a calibrated alignment control feature. Overall, the effect is a feeling of improved proprioception with a more balanced, symmetric and confident gait with reduced wear and tear on the back, hips and knees.
 

 

The i-LIMB ™ System

iLimb
 

The worlds full articulating and commercially available bionic hand by Touch Bionics.

The i-LIMB Hand is controlled by a unique, highly intuitive control system that uses a traditional two-input myoelectric (muscle signal) to open and close the hand’s life-like fingers. Myoelectric controls utilize the electrical signal generated by the muscles in the remaining portion of the patient’s limb. This signal is picked up by electrodes that sit on the surface of the skin.

 

Otto Bock C-Leg Knee

Ottock bock c-leg Featuring unique microprocessor swing and stance phase: the technology that offers Day-to-Day Stability.

Otto Bock's highest priority when developing the C-Leg was to provide optimal stability during the gait cycle. Using unique algorithms developed from studying how thousands of people walk, combined with input from multiple built-in sensors, the microprocessor determines the phase of gait. Then, automatic adjustments are made to the knee's function to provide stability -- right when it is needed.  Here's how it works:
  • Additional sensors read the precise angle of the knee joint.  This data, along with swing speed input, is read 50 times per second by the on-board microprocessor.
  • Force sensors in the pylon detect loading of the foot and ankle.

 

MediPro Relax 3/Relax 6 Liner 

Features:

  • Unique silicone formulation 
  • Integral Umbrellan® cover with electromagnetic shield function
  • No static loading
  • Inward placed matrix for optimised soft tissue stability

The RELAX Liner increases well being in respect of:

  •  Increase of activity
  •  Increase of quality of life
  • Simple use
  • Reduction of medication
  • Pain reduction

 

College Park Accent Foot

  • User-adjustable heel height with 2-inch range
  • Dynamic Pylon and Integrated Pyramid options
  • Multi-axial with rotation Ankle Fairing for superior finishing
  • Sandal toe allows shoe of choice
  • Precision gait matched

 

OSSUR Iceross Seal-In X5

For transtibial (below knee) and transfemoral (above knee) amputees.

The new Iceross Seal-In X5 incorporates a series of five seals that conform to the shape of the residual limb and the internal socket wall, providing an airtight seal. For lower-limb amputees who prefer a suction liner, liberation from the restriction of a sleeve means more freedom of movement, increased comfort and simplified maintenance.

 

Freedom Innovations PLIÉ™ MPC Knee

An industry leading Actuator Response Time (A.R.T.) supported by advanced microprocessor programming, allows the knee to make nearly instantaneous adjustments to knee position and velocity. With a reaction time ten times faster than the blink of an eye, the device provides a precise response to actual gait dynamics as they occur, rather than a step behind. The result is a prosthetic knee that requires less cognitive effort, freeing the user to look beyond the next step and enjoy what lies ahead.

When it comes to water resistance, no other microprocessor knee even comes close. Activities once ill-advised are now fair game. Boating is an option, along with fly fishing and many other outdoor activities. Something as simple as washing a car or taking children to the water park can now be done with the safety of a microprocessor controlled knee. A replaceable battery pack gives users the option of alternating a second battery so that the knee is never out of working order. Responsive, lightweight, water resistant and always ‘on’— the groundwork is set for a revolutionary product that will truly enhance a person’s quality of life.

 

Freedom Innovations Renegade Foot

Freedom Innovations Renegade

The Renegade, the industry's most innovative shock absorbing prosthetic foot provides unparalleled performance in a lightweight design which is comfortable for everyday use.

Offering incredibly smooth gait at any speed, the Renegade also redirects the energy to enhance the foot’s heel dynamics and propel the amputee through the gait cycle, providing unmatched performance for today’s active amputee.

Helix3D Otto Bock Hip Joint System

The patented multi-axis joint structure

  •  Produces a three-dimensional hip movement to compensate for pelvic rotation and promotes a symmetrical and natural gait pattern.
  • Allows for leg length reduction during swing with the aim to reduce the risk of falling and thereby to increase functional safety.
  • Ensures optimal sitting characteristics and reduces pelvic obliquity to a minimum.
  • Makes a large flexion angle possible, to facilitate everyday situations like putting on shoes or getting into a car.
