What services does Gulf Prosthetics offer?

We provide custom prosthetic solutions for upper and lower limb loss, including realistic silicone prosthetics, pediatric and athletic options, repairs, and long-term follow-up care. We also offer prosthetic supplies and patient education to support your journey.

Do you create prosthetics in-house?

Yes! All of our prosthetics are designed and fabricated at our lab in San Antonio using hands-on techniques and advanced CAD-CAM technology. This allows us to maintain high quality and reduce wait times for patients.

Do I need a referral to schedule an appointment?

No referral is needed. You can contact us directly to schedule a consultation, we’ll work with your physician or care team as needed to make the process seamless.

Do you offer bilingual services?

Yes! Our team includes fluent Spanish speakers at all locations to ensure that every patient and family member feels comfortable and understood.

How long does the prosthetic process take?

The full process, including consultation, evaluation, fitting, and delivery, can take several weeks depending on your needs, healing, and insurance approval. In many cases, we’re able to expedite care thanks to our on-site fabrication lab.

What should I expect at my first appointment?

Your first appointment includes a full consultation, evaluation of your residual limb, and a conversation about your goals, lifestyle, and health history. We’ll then begin the process of designing a prosthetic that’s right for you.

How do I schedule a consultation?

You can call any of our locations directly or fill out our online appointment request form. Our team will get in touch within 1–2 business days to confirm your visit.

What types of prosthetic supplies do I need?

The most common prosthetic supplies include liners, sleeves, socks, cleaning sprays, lotion, and suspension sleeves. Your prosthetist can help recommend the best items based on your limb type, activity level, and skin sensitivity.

How often should I replace my prosthetic liner or sleeve?

Most prosthetic liners and sleeves should be replaced every 3–6 months, depending on wear and tear. Using insurance or FSA/HSA benefits, many patients qualify for replacements twice a year.

How do I clean my prosthetic supplies?

Use a prosthetic-safe cleaner or mild soap with warm water to clean your liner or sleeve daily. Avoid alcohol-based products unless recommended by your clinician.
