Lower limb prostheses
 the Scandinavian Orthopaedic Laboratory manufactures lower limb prostheses adjusted to various types of amputations:
Amputations in the foot area: (Chopart, Syme or Lisfranc) prostheses are made from carbon fibre or using the laminating technique.
Amputation of the shank: basic prostheses consist of a laminated funnel, pipe connector, SACH foot and KBM or PTB suspension. Additional components include funnels made from silicone, polyurethane and polymer gel. Funnels can be fastened with a bayonet connection, a silicone or cotton stocking, belt, pressure or resistance suspension; active feet are made of carbon fibre. It is also possible to install a shock absorber which increases user comfort: axis shock absorber bends by 2-4 millimetres during walking (maximum bend is 14 millimetres); a turn shock absorber enables 10-degree turn each way; the total turn is 20 degrees; attachment of the shock absorber is adapted to all types of attachment systems and has replaceable inserts for various degrees of shock absorption during walking. The acceptable weight of the patient for the prostheses is up to 100 kilograms.
Prostheses with amputations through the knee joint basically consist of a laminated funnel, a four-axis knee joint, a SACH foot and external cosmetic finish; additional or alternative components can be as follows: a laminated funnel with extra softness and flexibility for active people, a silicone, polymer-coated or polymer gel funnel; for active people - multi-axis carbon fibre feet.
 Thigh prostheses in their basic version consist of a laminated funnel, a knee joint (safe knee), SACH foot, support belt and external cosmetic finish. Options include: soft laminated funnel for active people, funnels made from silicone, polyurethane, polymer gel, laminated, thermoplastic and composite. Knee joints are also varied: from safe, simple, single-axis joints with a blockade during pressing on the heel, a rigid blockade option, constant movement resistance controlling joint movement, up to seven-axis, mechanical and hydraulic joints with a refined fluid walk construction. Another option is a Total-Shock absorber.
Prostheses in amputations through the hip joint consist in their basic version of a laminated hip basket, hip joint, knee joint, SACH foot, pipe connectors and external cosmetic finish; also here the active carbon fibre foot and multi-axis hydraulic and mechanical knee joints can be used as options.
Special prostheses: The Scandinavian Orthopaedic Laboratory also manufactures special prostheses for sportspeople (adjusted to various sports and disciplines) and light, functional and modern children's prostheses.
