Orthotics:  Shoes & Inserts - State of the art custom molded inserts are fabricated to each patient's diagnosis, condition and needs.  Custom molded shoes are hand crafted to provide the highest level of fit, accuracy and style for all types of feet that require special attention.

Braces:  SVPO offers a wide range of braces for upper and lower extremities, hips and back.  Most braces are custom-made on site in our fully equipped fabrication lab.  

C-Leg:  You'll never have to worry about your next step.  The C-Leg is a computerized leg that thinks for you.  It's all due to the micro-processor technology that electronically controls movements for the most natural gate possible.  The C-Leg automatically adjusts to the proper gate speed and terrain. 

Alpha Liners:  Comfort is key to Alpha Fabric Covering:

Myoelectric Prosthesis:  Frank is trained and qualified to fit upper extremity myoelectric prosthesis devices.  This prosthesis uses electrodes placed against the skin to read the electrical impulse from that muscle to operate the prosthetic hand.

Pathfinder Foot:  Proven durability and unique triangular design makes this foot the choice of active amputees.  The Pathfinder foot features a pneumatic heel spring, a composite foot plate, a proximal adapter and a split toe spring.  These five components work together to provide the amputee with more flexibility, greater dynamic responses and preloading of the toe.

Post Mastectomy Boutique:  SVPO's feminine boutique carries full variety of breast forms including light-weight forms, swim forms and self adhesive forms.  Marlene Dominick, office manager, is a certified fitter of all post mastectomy items including custom-made breast prosthesis, an alternative to breast reconstructive surgery.  This unique prosthesis will match each patients skin tone and chest wall.  Also available are many styles of bras, camisoles, sport bras and swimwear in all sizes and a variety of colors.  The boutique offers a variety of hats, turbans and scarfs for women undergoing chemotherapy.
