FAQ
How much does a prosthetic socket cost?
The cost of a prosthetic socket solution depends on a patient’s needs and the prosthetic components required to achieve enhanced mobility. We’ll assess your residual limb and lifestyle needs if you book a free consultation and provide a rough estimate.
How long does a prosthetic socket last?
Most prosthetic limbs are built to withstand only three to five years of wear and tear and must be replaced throughout a lifetime. While they’re not a one-time cost, health insurance may cover some or all of the cost, depending on a patient’s healthcare plan.
What are the symptoms of poor fitting prosthetic socket?
A poorly-fitted socket could lead to a lack of progress in achieving expected goals, discomfort, fatigue, a lack of confidence, and sores on the skin. A person may also be unable to maintain equilibrium or transition weight from the residual limb to the prosthesis without apprehension or pain.
How long does it take to make a prosthetic socket?
Generally, the exact amount of time needed for the fabrication process differs based on several factors, including the type and complexity of the socket, the chosen materials, and the practitioner's skill. At PrimeCare, prosthetic sockets can be fabricated in as little as 1-2 hours once insurance authorization is obtained and components arrive.
