For those who continue to struggle with socket prostheses, the OPRA™ Implant System offers a different approach.
Many people with limb loss experience challenges such as:
• Pain
• A short stump preventing the use of socket prosthesis
• Volume fluctuation in the stump
• Soft tissue scarring
• Extensive area of skin grafting
• Socket retention problems due to excessive perspiration
• Restricted mobility
If any of these sound familiar, the OPRA™ Implant System may be an option worth exploring
Directly anchoring the prosthesis to the bone reduces the problems of limb prosthesis attachment, and improves the function of the prosthesis. This is shown by results from patients already treated with the OPRA™ Implant System. However, this attachment can never totally make up for or replace the lost limb.
Patients with a bone-anchored prosthesis report improved mobility, improved comfort, improved prosthetic control, increased prosthesis use, increased ability to perform daily activities, a decreased feeling of being disabled, and improved quality of life. Using the OPRA™ Implant System also decreases the risk of skin irritation problems that are common for prosthesis users.
The OPRA™ Implant System is indicated for:
Patients who have had an amputation due to trauma or cancer.
Patients whose bone growth is complete.
Patients who currently have or are expected to have rehabilitation problems with a socket prosthesis.
