GUIDING YOU THROUGH EVERY STEP

We want you to understand what goes on at each step along the way. Below is some information about our process.

  • 4. An initial fitting appointment with a preparatory prosthesis allows us to verify proper fitting. You may wear it for one to two weeks to determine if changes are needed. The process may take longer for newer amputees as your limb volume may still be changing.
