Above Knee Prosthetic Process

Working as a team, we will make a prosthetic device for you based off information we gather during the evaluation phase. The first step in the prosthetic leg fitting process is to take an impression of your residual
limb. At Anas surgical or your place, this impression is captured by hand casting as this method provides a very intimate fit that will maximize comfort and support.
