LIVINGSKIN Premier Service Centers
LIVINGSKIN prostheses are individually made to recreate the color, shape, and size of an amputee's missing finger, hand, arm, toe, foot, leg, or facial feature.
At our Premier Service Centers in Atlanta, Chicago, New York, or Toronto, clients can sit with artists while having their high-definition, custom silicone prostheses painted. Artist also may paint from color swatches, if travel is not feasible. LIVINGSKIN prostheses look so real that many clients tell us they actually use them more than any other prostheses they have ever worn.

medipro Knees Offer Versatility, Craftsmanship
The new line of medipro knee joints, distributed by SPS, offers versatility, durability, and expert craftsmanship.
The OFM1SF knee provides adjustable stance flexion in a 4-bar polycentric joint design. Versatile swing-phase control allows either manual friction OR manual locking as needed.
OFM2 is a lightweight monocentric knee joint providing stance flexion with a stable aluminum frame. Suitable for low-functional-level amputees with poor voluntary control of the prosthesis and/or weak extensors, the OFM2 can be used as both a locking joint with manual release and as a free-swing knee joint.
