I’m a prosthetist

Whether you’re new to our PRO ARMOUR® prosthetic covers or need a refresher – here’s all the info you need to know.

The rundown

PRO ARMOUR® prosthetic covers are the ultimate in protection for prosthetic limbs. They give patients the confidence and freedom to do more, while protecting prosthetic feet and components from water, dirt, dust, sand and snow.

With two options available, he Lite is designed for use with footwear. The PLUS offers the same protection, but features a rubberized non-slip sole and does not require footwear to be worn.

Suitable for above and below knee amputees, available in multiple sizes and also suitable to wear for cosmetic reasons.

    Frequently asked questions

    Are they waterproof?

    Almost! Our covers are water-resistant but not fully waterproof. They keep water out unless submerged, as water can enter through the top and closure around the pylon.

    What is the best footwear to wear with a PRO ARMOUR® Lite?

    We find that lightweight footwear, like a running shoe, works best with the Lite. However, your choice of sandal, shoe or boot should work fine too. Remember: you must wear the black sock provided.

    Can patients wear them permanently?

    Yes, just remind patients to take the Lite off if they plan on walking without footwear on. We recommend transferring to the PLUS if without footwear.

    Where can I order more stock?

     In the USA: SPS and Cascade. Check our distributor page for more countries and distributor options or order through us directly.

    Why do patients have to wear the sock provided on their prosthetic foot?

    It makes putting your PRO ARMOUR® prosthetic cover on a lot easier! It’s also low volume, this helps your foot fit into your footwear without it being too tight.

    What will happen if patients don't use footwear with the PRO ARMOUR® Lite?

    You’ll either slip over or put a hole in your PRO ARMOUR® Lite. No one wants that! And please be aware, if you walk around with your Lite indoors or outdoors without footwear (sandals, shoes, boots etc), this will void the warranty.

    If they are wanting a solution without the need for footwear we recommend the PLUS.  Both products work in unison to provide an alround solution to preventing wear and tear and restoring confidence.

    My patient’s shoes are tight. How can I get the foot in?

    Ensure patients wear the black sock provided and choose footwear that isn’t too tight. You may also find it easier to remove your prosthetic limb, then put the Lite on, then footwear. Alternatively, try placing the limb on a bench (or similar), use two hands to put/push the foot into footwear. Use a shoehorn if necessary.
