Make your life complete
Mechanical thigh prostheses are a reliable and affordable solution for patients who need to replace a lost limb. These prostheses are characterized by their simple design and lightweight, making them easy to use and maintain. The main advantage of mechanical prostheses is their ability to provide basic functions and stability during walking.
The mechanical knee joints used in these prostheses work on the principle of friction, where resistance to bending is adjusted using screws. They can be equipped with springs to reduce friction during extension, which accelerates the movement of the knee joint during the swing phase of the step. These joints are suitable for patients who require a simple and reliable solution for everyday use.
One of the advantages of mechanical thigh prostheses is their cost-effectiveness. They are generally less expensive than hydraulic and pneumatic counterparts, making them accessible to a wider range of patients. Additionally, they require less maintenance, simplifying their use in daily life.
Mechanical thigh prostheses provide reliable control and stability, allowing patients to resume an active lifestyle. Thanks to their simple design and the use of durable materials, these prostheses last a long time and effectively perform their functions, helping restore mobility and independence.

How to determine your mobility
The MOBIS® system is based on four levels of activity:
- Patients who move only indoors with the help of additional support devices.
- Patients who move indoors and outdoors (limited) with the help of additional support devices.
- Patients who move freely outdoors and require increased safety.
- Patients who move freely outdoors and require advanced prosthetics.
The MOBIS® system distinguishes four weight categories: up to 75 kg, up to 100 kg, up to 125 kg, and over 125 kg.
Frequently asked questions
What is the cost of the prosthesis?
We provide prosthetics absolutely free of charge if the patient has the documents required by the Cabinet of Ministers Resolution No. 321 of 05.04.2012. If the patient has the ability to purchase a prosthesis with a fiscal check for cash, the cost of the prosthesis is calculated individually depending on the type of amputation, age and mobility of the patient.
How to get a free prosthesis?
According to the Procedure for Provision of Technical Rehabilitation Devices, approved by the Resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine No. 321 dated April 5, 2012, any citizen of Ukraine has the right to free provision of prosthetic and orthopedic devices (prosthetics and orthotics) if he or she has a referral for provision of technical and other rehabilitation devices.
When will the prosthesis be ready?
We try to provide patients with a technical means of rehabilitation as soon as possible, on average 25-35 working days from the date of signing the contract for prosthetics. In case of a specific amputation, peculiarities of stump healing and ordering certain components, the production time can reach up to 45 working days
