Marais Orthotists

As qualified medical orthotists & prosthetists, we treat people with physical limitations resulting from illness,trauma or developmental defects. We work hand-in-hand with other allied health professions, including physiotherapists, occupational therapists and dieticians. Together, we come up with an optimal approach to treat each individual case in a holistic manner.

Our part in this process is to create external devices to replace or enhance the function of a certain body part. We design, manufacture, customise, and fit all braces and prostheses for each patient individually. For instance, in the case of an amputation of the leg, we will create a prosthesis (artificial limb) to replace the lost limb.
