Does the preview show the functional components, like a microprocessor knee or myoelectric hand?

No — the preview is for the cosmetic exterior: the silicone cover, carbon-fiber shell, or printed fairing. Component selection (knee, foot, terminal device) is a separate clinical decision driven by K-level, activity goals, and insurance coverage, made with the prosthetist before or alongside the finish conversation.

Can it show a realistic skin-tone match and an exposed 'bionic' finish side by side?

Yes. Run both on the same photo. Some patients — especially athletes and younger amputees — actively prefer showing the mechanical frame rather than concealing it, and seeing both options on their own limb is usually what settles the decision.

Does this work for upper-limb and partial-hand or finger restorations, not just legs?

Yes. The same photo-to-preview workflow applies to transradial and transhumeral arm prostheses, partial-hand restorations, and single-digit silicone finger prostheses — anywhere a custom cosmesis is being fabricated to match the patient's remaining anatomy.

How does it handle skin-tone matching, which is notoriously hard to get right in silicone cosmesis?

The AI renders the cosmesis against the patient's actual skin tone as captured in the photo, including undertone, which is where hand-mixed silicone pigmentation most often misses. It's a preview to align expectations before sculpting starts, not a substitute for the intrinsic and extrinsic pigmentation process itself.

Can I use this for pediatric patients with congenital limb differences, not just adult amputees?

Yes. Custom-printed covers — team logos, patterns, superhero themes — are increasingly what kids and parents choose over a realistic finish. Previewing a few designs on the child's actual limb makes that choice easier for parents who are often more anxious about it than the child is.

Does this replace the physical socket fitting or casting process?

No. Socket fit is determined by cast or scan, load testing, and gait or grip analysis — none of that changes. This tool only previews the cosmetic finish that gets applied once the definitive device and its fit are already confirmed.

Are patient photos stored or retained?

That's your call, not ours — it's your software. We build the storage and retention policy around what your clinic needs and make sure it meets HIPAA or any other regulation that applies. No training on your data, ever.

There's no off-the-shelf plan, so there's no published price list. Share your details and we'll discuss project scope and pricing on a free consultation call — see /pricing for details.

Show patients their prosthetic finish before fabrication starts

Photograph the residual limb during the fitting appointment. Makeover generates a photorealistic preview — skin-matched silicone, exposed carbon fiber, or a custom-printed cover — on the patient's own body in seconds, before the definitive device goes into fabrication.

What is a prosthetic preview preview?

A prosthetic preview tool uses AI to generate a photorealistic image of a patient wearing their prosthesis before the definitive device is fabricated. The prosthetist photographs the patient's residual limb, and the tool renders the chosen cosmetic finish — skin-tone-matched silicone, an exposed carbon-fiber shell, or a custom-printed cover — directly onto the patient's own body. O&P clinics use this during the components conversation to get a finish decision locked in before custom fabrication begins.

Why it matters

A definitive lower-limb prosthesis runs $5,000–$50,000 depending on the knee or foot component, and a realistic silicone cosmesis — hand-sculpted and airbrushed to match the patient's skin tone — adds another $1,500–$5,000 that Medicare and most private insurers won't cover. That self-pay decision usually lands at the end of months of preauthorization paperwork, on a patient who is in no mood to gamble another few thousand dollars on a finish they can't picture from a catalog swatch. A preview that shows the actual option on their actual limb turns that stall into a same-visit decision, and it catches the patients who'd otherwise default to the cheapest bare-frame option simply because no one showed them what the alternative looks like on their own body.

Who uses this

Certified prosthetists and orthotists (CPOs) running the components and finish conversation at the definitive-device fitting. Cosmesis technicians who hand-sculpt and airbrush silicone limb covers and need patient sign-off on a direction before they start pigmenting. O&P clinic owners managing several practitioners who want every patient to see the same quality of finish preview, not whichever swatch book happened to be in the room.

Heard this from a patient?

Patients fresh off amputation surgery say "I don't want it to look like a robot leg" and shut the cosmesis conversation down before you can show them the realistic silicone option.

You hand them a catalog of skin-tone silicone swatches shot under studio lighting. They say "none of these look anything like my actual skin."

The realistic cosmesis is a $1,500–$5,000 self-pay line item most insurers won't touch, and patients decline it sight-unseen because they can't picture the difference between a bare frame and a finished cover.

How prosthetic preview previews work

Three steps. Under 10 seconds. No design skills needed.

Photograph the residual limb

Any angle, standard clinic lighting, taken during the components fitting appointment. No cast, scan, or special imaging needed for the preview itself.

AI generates the finish preview

The model renders the selected cosmetic direction — skin-tone-matched silicone, exposed carbon-fiber shell, or a custom-printed cover pattern — onto the patient's own limb in the photo.

Present it during the device order

The patient sees their own body with the finish applied while you're still filling out the order form, not after the cosmesis has already been sculpted.
