Award Prosthetics specializes in high level lower extremity prosthesis fittings, like very short Above Knee,
Hip Disarticulation and Hemipelvectomy
prostheses.
We use silicone liners, flexible sockets and super flexible acrylic resins to form-fit the amputee exactly and comfortably.
Physiotherapy and gait-training is provided as well as accommodation at the
Accent Inn Hotel next door to our modern laboratory.
We believe in the principle of the informed consumer.
Too often a prosthetic lab will leave you sitting in a room without even seeing another amputee.
We offer a facility that is oriented to all the needs of the amputee. As a client of Award Prosthetics you are part of the solution, not a part of the problem.
We encourage you to take an active role in the development of your prosthesis together with the option of communicating with other amputees.
Helping you feel confident and comfortable with your prosthetic choice is part of the process.

Farabloc
fabric looks and feels like linen but is made up of extremely thin
steel fibers and nylon. It helps to stimulate blood circulation,
producing pleasant feelings of warmth, relaxation and calm. It was
originally invented to help ease phantom pain experienced by some
amputees, but has many other applications. Farabloc is usually sewn
into a sock shape, matching the residual limb, but we provide our
clients with additional comfort by incorporating Farabloc right into the lamination
process of prosthetic sockets.
