In our clinic, the patient first specifies the prosthetic arm they prefer, and then measurements are taken. If restoration is needed, silicone is generally used. Plaster is preferred in advanced amputations.

The specialist and technical team then test the patient’s comfort and the range of motion of the prosthesis. In electronic models, during this stage, the EMG (electromyography) zones are assessed, and the signal strength is examined. The structure, alignment, and other optimization processes of the artificial limb are also carried out in this step. Once all evaluations are completed, the prosthetic arm takes its final form and is manufactured. Before starting to use the prosthetic arm, the individual undergoes necessary training and rehabilitation at our clinic. The patient is monitored by our clinic for approximately 2 weeks after starting to use the prosthetic arm.

First of all, my left leg was amputated in 2020 and then I met Luxmed for the first time through the internet. I met Muhammet brother. They came to my house to take my measurements and made my prosthesis. The moment I put it on for the first time, I walked and went home. It was very nice. The team was friendly and tolerant. I had my third prosthesis done. I am very pleased. To the friends who want to have a prosthesis. I recommend, I recommend

Luxmed Protez Center for Prosthetics in IstanbulThe center is well-established, the work is upscale, and the best and most sophisticated is their treatment of patients, especially Dr. Nihad and Dr. Nada, the prosthetics specialist.Frankly, I advise every amputee to visit this wonderful center, and God willing, he will not regret itI have a double amputation above the knee. I have damaged a number of limbs. Tricks. Tricks. I have rested from work. I wish I had had a number of limbs repaired a long time ago.

We came to Luxmed Therapy Center, 1000 kilometers away from where we live, for my father's treatment. From the beginning of the process, they paid great attention to our needs in every sense, both in communication, training and walking processes. The importance they gave to my father's comfort and their approach to us was truly very satisfying. We would like to thank the Luxmed family, especially Mr. Umut, for their support and sensitivity throughout the entire process. A place you can choose with confidence and satisfaction.

This is a thank you message. After a serious accident at my workplace, I started looking for a prosthetic leg. We couldn't find what we were looking for in Konya. We reached Luxmede through a relative. From the first day we called until the last day they sent me to Konya with my prosthetic leg, they made me feel good and helped me a lot mentally. I would especially like to underline the mental part of the job. My daughters and my wife were also amazed by Luxmedin's approach. God bless you. As the Kutlu family, thank you very much for always answering my wife's questions kindly ❤️

I had my prosthesis made in Manisa 2 years ago. I was constantly experiencing redness and itching on my stump. The friend who made the prosthesis kept me busy for 2 years, hoping that the pain would go away. I stopped by Luxmed in Istanbul, where I came to visit. They told me that the problem was with the socket and they made a new socket within a week. I have been walking without any problems for 2 months and have no pain. The team is very experienced.
