What does a silicone waterproof cover do for a below-knee prosthesis?
Metal parts in a below-knee prosthesis can rust if often wet. How a custom silicone cover protects them, matches your other leg and is cared for.

Silicone Prosthetic Leg Cover
A silicone prosthetic leg cover wraps a below-knee or above-knee prosthesis so that it looks like your other leg. We shape it to your prosthesis and match it to your other leg — skin tone, toenails and, if you wish, leg hair.

Who it is for
Who it suits
- You wear a below-knee or above-knee prosthesis and want it to look like your other leg
- You want to wear shorts, skirts or sandals with less attention on the prosthesis
- You are having a new prosthesis made with us, or already have one
Whether a cover suits your prosthesis depends on its components and socket, so we check your prosthesis in person first.
How it is made
Made for you, step by step
The number of visits and the time it takes depend on your prosthesis; we explain both at consultation.
01
Checking your prosthesis
We look at your prosthesis and its parts, and take the shape of your other leg.
02
Skin-tone measurement
Your skin tone is measured with E-SKIN digital skin-tone matching (SPECTROMATCH, UK).
03
Shaping and finishing
The cover is shaped to the prosthesis, and toenails, colour and — if you wish — leg hair are finished by hand.
If we are also making your below-knee or above-knee prosthesis, the cover is planned together with it.
Before & After

Photographed under the same conditions. Results vary from person to person.
Cost
What decides the cost?
We do not publish prices, because every prosthesis is made for one person. What it costs depends on:
- Below-knee or above-knee, and the parts of your prosthesis
- Colour and detail work, such as toenails
- Whether you would like leg hair added
Send us photos and we will give you a personalised quotation before you book any travel.
Care & lifespan
Living with your prosthesis
- Wash it with a mild detergent after use and let it dry fully.
- Put it on and take it off gently — never force it. We show you how at delivery.
- Silicone and its colour change gradually with use, moisture, heat and sunlight, so every silicone prosthesis eventually needs replacing. There is no set number of years: it depends on how often you wear it, how you care for it and your environment.
- We provide after-sales support while you use it. If a repair is not possible, we guide you through a remake — your production records are kept, so a remake does not start from zero.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
QCan a cover be made for the prosthesis I already have?
AThe cover is made to fit the prosthesis you use. We check your prosthesis in person at consultation and advise from there.
QCan I go into water with the cover on?
AWhether you can use the prosthesis in water depends on its components and socket, not only on the cover. If you plan to swim, tell us at consultation.
QCan leg hair be added?
AYes. If you wish, we can set hair into the cover to match your other leg.
QHow do I clean the cover?
AIt can be washed when it gets dirty. We explain how to clean it when you receive it.
QIs it only for below-knee prostheses?
AWe make silicone covers for below-knee and above-knee prostheses. Which cover suits yours depends on its parts.
QHow much does a silicone leg cover cost?
AWe do not publish prices. Send us photos of your prosthesis and your other leg for a personalised quotation.

Journal
Journal
Can I travel and play sport with a below-knee prosthesis?
Keeping the knee gives below-knee amputation a relatively good start. Many people travel, hike or run once walking is steady. What to check before a trip.
Journal
How does the level of leg amputation change the prosthesis you need?
Leg amputation is grouped into five levels, from partial foot to above the knee. How each level changes which joints remain and how a prosthetic leg is built.
Journal
Can I wear heels or dress shoes with a prosthetic leg?
A prosthetic foot is aligned to one heel height, so changing shoes can change how you walk. How a heel-height-adjustable ankle works and what to consider.
Journal
How do I protect my skin from sweat with a below-knee prosthesis?
Sweat trapped in a below-knee socket and liner adds friction and can redden or rub the skin. Daily skin care, liner cleaning and signs that need attention.
Journal
Can a silicone skin cover hide burn scars or sunken skin?
A custom cover made from the medical-grade silicone we use for prostheses can be worn over scars or sunken skin. Real cases by body area, and how one is made.
