A Prosthetic Cover is a removable accessory and protective layer for prosthetic devices. It is also known as a prosthetic fairing. Prosthetic Covers are cosmetic and protective covers for transfemoral (TF), transtibial (TT) and transradial amputees that restore symmetry.
The purpose of UNYQ is to give amputees stylish and functional options for showing off their personality as they see fit. Our Prosthetic Covers are manufactured with the latest 3D printing technologies and are completely personalized to your measurements. Each Prosthetic Cover is unique, meaning we produce it individually so it’s symmetrical with your sound leg and fits over your componentry. You can choose from the designs we have on our website or ask us to design a custom one that fit your own style.
In short, our covers will fit over just about all prosthetic devices! We work in a personalised way to adapt our covers to your body and prosthetic device. Our covers will work over most prosthetic components for both trans-tibial amputees and trans-femoral amputees. These are just some examples of knees we can work with:
But there are many! If you’re a trans-femoral or trans-tibial amputee and have a question about whether our covers work for your prosthetic components, do not hesitate to contact us by email, chat or phone.
Yes, Prosthetic Covers are available for transfemoral, transtibial amputees and transradial amputees. Choose a design, color, texture, and finish! You can also use our prosthetic covers if you’re a double or bilateral amputee, no matter the height of each amputation. Our designers will work closely with you to find the shape and volume that best suits you and creates a sense of symmetry.
The Prosthetic Covers custom designed and manufactured using the latest 3D printing technologies. 3D printing is a revolutionary technology which consists of making a three-dimensional object by utilising selective laser sintering. For our covers, we use a highly resistant polyamide that ensures durability and consistency.
Prosthetic Covers don’t need special care. You can clean them with a soft damp cloth while it is fitted to your leg. To prolong the life of your cover and paint, avoid exposing it to strong shocks or sharp objects.
The weight of the Prosthetic Cover depends on the design you choose. The covers for transfemoral prosthesis weigh a little more than transtibial covers. The Prosthetic Cover typically weighs in the range of between 1 – 1.5 pounds / 400 – 680 grams depending on the design and your personal measurements. To give you an idea, that’s about the same weight as a can of peas. When people first get their cover, they say they notice the new weight, but it typically doesn’t interfere with their activity and quickly becomes normal.

To design your custom cover we need a few measurements and photos of your sound leg and your prosthesis (or both prosthesis if bilateral). It’s a simple process that you can do by yourself with the help of a friend, family member, or prosthetist. We now have a brand new UNYQ App, available in the Apple Store, that allows you to order a cover in less than 10 minutes!
If you have ordered a cover and we have your measurements and photos, you don’t need to repeat the process for future covers as long as you have not changed your prosthesis or your alignment.
