CUSTOM LAMINATION
Real Life Prosthetics creates and designs custom lamination for orthotic and prosthetic devices when something more personable is wanted instead of the traditional colors.
A custom lamination may be chosen in part to reflect an individual's personality on their prosthetic or orthotic device. Sometimes the decision to wear it depends on how the device looks in the end. We frequently observe this in kids, who may have everything from superheroes to their favorite animation characters on their finished prosthetic or orthotic devices.
Dr. W. Dash
Bilateral Below-Knee Amputee
In 1998, during Christmas break from medical school, Dr. Dash began feeling unwell and suddenly collapsed. What followed was a life-threatening battle with bacterial meningitis. Though the illness changed his life forever, he never lost his positive outlook. Through unwavering faith, the love of family and friends, and the strength to keep moving forward, his journey of recovery began. A road that eventually led him to Real Life Prosthetics.
"You have to have faith and hope. You don't plan to have an amputation... first you have to accept it and then realize there is something you can do."
Kevin D.
Unilateral Hip Disarticulation
In 1974, Kevin was diagnosed with bone cancer in his leg. He was 5-years old at the time of his amputation surgery, which was the standard treatment at that time. From that point on, he grew up wearing a prosthesis.
"With very few exceptions, there is nothing you will be prevented from doing. You may not do it the same as everyone else does, but if you want to do something, you'll find a way to do it."
Alisa W.
Unilateral Below-Knee Amputee
After enduring 17 surgeries over 17 years, Alisa made the courageous decision to amputate her leg and take control of her future. Her story highlights the critical decision-making process of finding the right prosthetist and the pivotal role prosthetic technology plays in restoring mobility.
"I live a life where I define my limitations, not my leg. Jonas has become a lifelong friend and I will forever be grateful to him and my Real Life Prosthetics family for allowing me to live my life without limitations. Life is what you make of it. You can choose to sit around and feel sorry for yourself, or you can become an active participant."
