Cutting
Edge Technology
At
Scott Sabolich, we
feature ultra-light, cutting edge
prosthetics including the patented
Sabolich Socket design. All the tools
necessary to create these advanced
prosthetics are housed on-site in
our state-of-the-art fabrication
lab. This is the heart of our facility--
where technology and innovation merge
to create superior products.
Difficult
To Fit
Sometimes patients
are categorized as "difficult-to-fit." This
group may include hemi-pelvectomy,
hip disarticulation and shoulder
disarticulation patients, as well
as those with high-level above-knee
or above-elbow amputations. Other
unique situations may place a person
in the difficult-to-fit category.
Working with patients
who face these extra challenges is
one of the things we do best. If
you are faced with a challenging
fit, we want to face it with you.
We believe you can have a comfortable
prosthesis.
Cosmesis
The cosmetic
covering and physical appearance
of a prosthesis is referred to "cosmesis.” Cosmesis
is truly an art form and something
we specialize in at our center. Advances
in limb shaping and cosmetic coverings
can allow for amazingly close matches
in skin tone, texture, and even the
appearance of hair, freckles, and
veins. Great efforts are made to
sculpt, color and finish a limb that
matches the patient's sound limbs.
Some of our
patients have even asked us to
include a tattoo on their prosthetic
limb. Artwork or pictures can be
laminated into the socket as another
way of customizing the "look" of
your prosthesis. |
