OUR ACHIEVEMENTS
Our Achievements
At Cascade Prosthetic Services we pride ourselves in being industry leaders. For example:
We were the first practice in the world to use:
- Kenevo Microprocessor knee in combination with the Helix hip joint, resulting in a very smooth gait and a stable hip disarticulation prosthesis
We were the first practice in Canada to use:
- The EMS (Environmentally Managed Systems) multi-surface flexible inner socket for elevated vacuum suspension prostheses
- SiOCX (HTV medical grade silicone and semi-flexible outer socket) sockets for Above-knee AND Below-elbow prostheses
We were the second practice in Canada and the first in Alberta to use:
- Symphonie Aqua System for casting below knee amputees under full weight bearing, capturing the shape of your residual limb in the same fashion as the prosthesis is worn. This allows the bony anatomy to create its own relief and spreading forces equally over the whole residuum, leading to a more comfortable prosthetic socket
- HiFi Socket System Technology which creates a socket interface that creates a more intimate hydrostatic zone of control around the shaft of the underlying bones, resulting in a greater degree of control and comfort of the prosthesis.
