One Visit Prosthetic Solution

Amputee Care Center is an industry leader. At the Amputee Care Center in Genk, Belgium, you will find everything under one roof, giving you access to advanced Direct Fitting prosthetic care as well. Our prosthetists are officially trained in both Direct Socket Ossur systems and Amparo, and have years of experience. We combine this specialist know-how with top technology, including:

• 3D scanning & CAD customisation
• Advanced modular components
• High-tech hydraulic and electronic prosthetic components
• In-house printing and measuring facilities 

Production and finishing are done on site - with no queues, no delays.

By choosing a Direct Fitting leg prosthesis at the Amputee Care Center (ACC by Spronken), you benefit from a fast, accurate and comfortable solution supported by a team of specialised professionals. The team approach enables you to return to your daily activities faster with a prosthesis that perfectly suits your needs. The benefits of you choosing the ACC are:

Fast delivery: prosthesis in one day
Thanks to Direct Socket technology, the ACC can deliver a custom-made, definitive leg prosthesis within one visit. This significantly speeds up the rehabilitation process and reduces the number of appointments required.

The Amputee Care Center is committed to keeping waiting lists as short as possible.

Precise fit and increased comfort
The prosthetic socket is shaped directly on the stump, ensuring a close fit. This reduces pressure points and increases wearing comfort, making the user feel more secure and stable while walking.

Innovative technologies and customisation
The ACC uses advanced technologies such as 3D scanning and 3D printing to manufacture prostheses that perfectly fit the user's unique anatomy. In addition, the centre offers the opportunity to test different prosthetic feet and knees before making a final choice.

Recognition, quality and reimbursement
The ACC is an ISO 13485-quality-certified institution and recognised by all Belgian mutual societies and Dutch health insurers. This means users can count on reimbursement, intervention or reimbursement for their prosthesis, depending on their insurance.

Yes, it really is possible at Amputee Care Center! Thanks to our Direct Fitting System (One Visit Service), we can measure and fit the prosthetic socket directly on your stump so that the fit of the socket is absolutely perfect right away! Without intermediate steps such as plaster casts or test sleeves. This gives you a socket with a better fit and speeds up the process considerably.  We immediately make your prosthesis in the workshop. The prosthetists then do the alignment in our digital lab. In one day, you get a full, definitive prosthesis that is comfortable to wear and immediately functional. 

These prostheses are designed to be moulded directly onto the stump. As a result, they fit better, leading to more comfort, fewer skin problems and greater freedom of movement. In addition, the sockets are smaller and lighter than conventional models, ensuring less stress during stepping. Thanks to Total Surface Bearing technology, pressure is nicely distributed over the entire stump, reducing the risk of pain points and instability. The combination of speed and quality makes this technology unique.

This solution is designed for both new prosthesis users and people who are ready to replace their existing prosthesis. It is suitable for lower and upper leg amputations (trans-tibial and trans-femoral) and for people with different activity levels. Especially for those who have to travel far or have little time, this system is a godsend. During the intake, we always consider whether your situation is suitable and give honest advice on feasibility.

Contact the Amputee Care Center headquarters in Genk, Belgium. We often start with an application process for reimbursement or compensation. We schedule your day and make our full prosthetics team available. You are received for a comprehensive intake where we listen to your needs and expectations. We analyse your stump, do a gait and gait analysis if necessary, and then get straight to work on the immediate sizing. The socket is formed on site, finished and connected to the right components (such as foot or knee). After assembly, you can take your first steps under supervision. Everything is done in one day, at the same location.

Yes. The prostheses we fit in one day are of at least the same (or better) quality as in a classic multi-stage procedure. Because the socket is built on the stump itself, the fit is very precise. Moreover, we avoid errors that can occur when casting and correcting plaster casts or making test sockets. So you get a high-quality and durable socket, fully tailored to your body and lifestyle. An additional advantage of direct fitting of the socket is that you yourself feel where the fit is right or needs to be adjusted. This direct feedback results in an optimally comfortable and personal socket, which leads to more precision and fewer adjustments afterwards.

Of course. We schedule a follow-up moment as standard to check whether everything is sitting perfectly. It may happen that your body still changes a little or that you have feedback after the first period of use. In that case, we will adjust the tube or construction. Also, if you have new goals - such as more steps or sporting activities - we can evaluate whether additional optimisation is possible. 

No. A Direct Fitting procedure is no more expensive than a classic prosthetic procedure. In Belgium, most of it is reimbursed via the RIZIV, as long as there is a valid prescription. In the Netherlands, prosthesis reimbursement depends on your policy. We guide you step by step through the administrative procedure. So you do not pay a surcharge because it is faster and more efficient - above all, you gain time, comfort and freedom of movement.

Absolutely. Our Direct Fitting sleeves are compatible with almost all high-end prosthetic components from all well-known brands, such as hydraulic knees, microprocessor-controlled knees (such as C-Leg or Genium), or dynamic feet. Together with you, we choose the best-fit combination. So you get an aid that not only fits well, but also matches your daily life and ambitions.

This is perfectly possible. If your prosthesis no longer fits well, feels heavy or causes skin problems, a Direct Fitting can be a great improvement. We then start with a free second opinion: we look at your current device and listen to your experience. If necessary, we also perform a gait image analysis. Then you decide for yourself whether to switch with us - with no obligation and no pressure.

Contact us by phone, e-mail or the contact form on our website. We will schedule a (free) introductory meeting. You don't have to have decided anything yet - we first listen to your story and see what is possible. If necessary, we will help you apply for reimbursement, reimbursement or intervention from your insurer. If it clicks, we can immediately set a date for your Direct Fitting appointment. We provide a full prosthetics team on that day. We make sure that everything is well prepared so that you can receive carefree assistance.

No. Unfortunately not yet. Currently, the Direct Fitting System is only available for leg prostheses (lower limbs: lower and upper leg). For arm prostheses, development is still in its infancy. At Amputee Care Center, we are closely following technological developments, and we are actively working on solutions that can also be considered for arm and hand prostheses. 3D-printed prosthetic sleeves for arm prostheses are increasingly in demand, though. Want to stay up to date or even think along? Then be sure to make an appointment to see our latest innovations and prototypes - we will be happy to tell you what we are working towards.
