Prosthetics Prosthetics is the art and science of designing, fitting, and fabricating artificial limbs, or prostheses, which replicate, to a great extent, the appearance and function of a congenitally-missing or amputated body part. All prostheses are custom-made to correspond to the person's physical proportions and functional needs. Creating a prosthesis requires a high degree of anatomical knowledge, clinical training, and technological, mechanical, and artistic talents. Our prosthetic products include, but are not limited to:
