Balanced mobility, built around you.

Individually designed prosthetic solutions for upper limb, lower limb, and cosmetic restorations, combining advanced technology with expert craftsmanship to restore function, mobility, and confidence.

Upper Limb

Every prosthesis is individually designed following a comprehensive assessment of amputation level, functional goals, occupation, and lifestyle. We provide solutions for partial hand, transradial (below elbow), transhumeral (above elbow), shoulder disarticulation, and congenital limb differences. Options include cosmetic restorations, body-powered prostheses, activity-specific devices, and advanced myoelectric systems. We work with internationally recognised manufacturers and collaborate closely with surgeons, occupational therapists, and rehabilitation teams throughout the entire journey. The goal is to restore confidence, independence, and the ability to return to work, hobbies, and daily life.

Lower Limb

Every prosthesis begins with a comprehensive clinical assessment of amputation level, residual limb condition, activity level, and personal goals. We provide custom solutions for partial foot, transtibial (below knee), transfemoral (above knee), hip disarticulation, and hemipelvectomy amputations, whether from trauma, vascular disease, diabetes, cancer, or congenital differences. We prescribe suspension systems, prosthetic feet, knees, liners, and componentry matched to each patient, from basic mobility systems to microprocessor-controlled knees and energy-storing feet. We work closely with surgeons, physiotherapists, and rehabilitation teams, providing gait training, adjustments, maintenance, and long-term follow-up. Our goal is to restore independence, mobility, and confidence.

Cosmetic Prosthesis

Highly realistic, custom-made silicone prostheses individually handcrafted using advanced moulding, precision sculpting, and meticulous colour matching to replicate natural skin tone, texture, and anatomical detail. Services include custom silicone fingers, thumbs, toes, partial feet, ears, noses, and other facial or body prostheses for patients affected by trauma, congenital differences, cancer, burns, or other conditions. Retention options include anatomical suspension, medical-grade adhesives, and implant-retained attachments. We work closely with surgeons, plastic surgeons, and rehabilitation professionals. For many patients, restoring appearance plays an equally important role in rebuilding confidence and quality of life.

We provide comprehensive assessment, design, fabrication, and fitting of custom spinal orthoses for all age groups. Working closely with spinal surgeons, orthopaedic surgeons, and physiotherapists, we treat scoliosis, kyphosis, vertebral fractures, spinal instability, degenerative disorders, traumatic injuries, and post-operative rehabilitation. Our custom orthoses include scoliosis braces, thoracolumbosacral orthoses, lumbosacral orthoses, cervical thoracic orthoses, cervical collars, and hyperextension braces. Modern materials and precision fabrication produce lightweight, durable braces that provide effective support while keeping patients as active as possible. Every brace is carefully fitted with comprehensive education on use, skin care, and wear schedules, with regular follow-up to monitor progress and make adjustments.

Custom-molded prescription insoles and orthotic devices designed to correct alignment, improve gait, redistribute pressure, and relieve pain. Solutions include custom foot orthoses, ankle-foot orthoses, diabetic footwear, accommodative footwear, and shoe modifications for orthopaedic, neurological, diabetic, and musculoskeletal conditions.

Orthocare welcomes both medical aid funded and private paying patients. Our fees are aligned with the recognised medical aid tariffs applicable to orthotic and prosthetic services, ensuring fair, transparent, and consistent pricing regardless of the funding source.

Quotations are provided before treatment, and our team will explain all available treatment options and associated costs to help patients make informed decisions about their care.

We are contracted with most major South African medical schemes, allowing us to assist eligible members with the funding of orthotic and prosthetic devices. Our experienced team works directly with medical schemes to obtain the necessary authorisations, submit clinical motivations where required, and guide you through the funding process, making your rehabilitation journey as smooth and stress-free as possible.

Coverage is subject to your individual scheme rules and available benefits.

If you have been injured in a motor vehicle accident, Orthocare can assist with the assessment, prescription, manufacture, fitting, and ongoing management of your orthotic or prosthetic device as part of your rehabilitation.

We have extensive experience working with Road Accident Fund (RAF) claims and understand the documentation and clinical requirements involved. Our team collaborates closely with your treating specialists, therapists, attorneys, and case managers to ensure that comprehensive clinical reports, quotations, and supporting documentation are provided when required.

From your initial assessment through to long-term follow-up and replacement of your device, we are committed to helping you regain mobility, independence, and quality of life.

Patients with a valid Road Accident Fund Section 17(4)(a) Undertaking may be eligible to have the costs of future medical treatment, including prescribed orthotic and prosthetic devices, covered by the Road Accident Fund. Where applicable, Orthocare can assist in processing claims under a valid undertaking by preparing the necessary clinical documentation and liaising with your attorney or directly with the Road Accident Fund, where appropriate.

Eligibility for funding and reimbursement remains subject to the terms and conditions of the undertaking and the applicable Road Accident Fund requirements.

Orthocare provides comprehensive orthotic and prosthetic services for patients who have sustained injuries in the workplace and are covered under the Compensation for Occupational Injuries and Diseases Act (COIDA), formerly known as the Workmen's Compensation Act (WCA), or through Injury on Duty (IOD) benefits.

Our experienced team understands the approval processes and documentation required by the Compensation Fund, employers, and occupational health practitioners. We assist with clinical assessments, quotations, medical reports, treatment plans, and the administrative requirements necessary to facilitate your care.

Working closely with your treating healthcare professionals, we aim to provide timely, high-quality orthotic and prosthetic solutions that support your recovery, maximise your functional independence, and enable a safe return to work wherever possible.

Orthocare provides independent, evidence-based medico-legal assessments and expert reports for patients involved in litigation arising from personal injury, motor vehicle accidents, workplace injuries, medical negligence, and other compensation matters.

Our clinicians have the expertise to evaluate the functional impact of an injury, determine current and future orthotic or prosthetic requirements, and provide impartial clinical opinions supported by established rehabilitation principles. Expert orthotists and prosthetists commonly provide reports for attorneys, advocates, insurers, and the courts in matters involving Road Accident Fund (RAF), COIDA, personal injury, and medical negligence claims.

Our medico-legal service includes a comprehensive clinical assessment, review of relevant medical records and radiological investigations, evaluation of functional capacity and mobility, recommendations regarding appropriate orthotic or prosthetic intervention, projected replacement schedules, estimated lifetime equipment costs, rehabilitation requirements, maintenance and consumable needs, and an opinion on the long-term impact of the injury.

Every report is prepared independently, objectively, and in accordance with accepted clinical practice, ensuring it can assist the legal process with clear, evidence-based information.

Where required, our clinicians work closely with attorneys, advocates, case managers, actuaries, occupational therapists, industrial psychologists, physiotherapists, and medical specialists as part of a multidisciplinary medico-legal team. We are also available to provide expert witness testimony and to clarify our findings in joint expert meetings or court proceedings when requested.
