Custom Brim Shapes

We have our own list of AK brim for you to choose from, or you can send us a scan of a custom brim you'd like to use.

What They Are

  • Brims that the CPO has used previously and wants to continue using with us
  • Or modified versions of our original brims, with adjustments made by the CPO
  • Ideal for irregular limb shapes or sensitive tissue

How They Are Used

  • These brims are used as the main brim whenever an AK Check Socket or CPX product is submitted.
  • When the practitioner selects “Clinic Custom” in the AK Brim shape drop-down on our AK socket order form, our team knows to use the custom brim provided by the CPO.
  • The custom brim can be submitted via scan, either with the current order or ahead of any order submission.

Submission Options

  1. FabOne (with patient order):
    • Log in → Go to AK Socket order form → Select the scan of the custom brim → Fill out the order form.
    • In the AK Brim shape drop-down, select “Clinic Custom” to indicate use of this brim for the current patient.
    • In the “Additional Information” section (bottom of the order form), note that this brim should also be saved as your or “Clinic” custom brim for future use.
  1. Email:
    • Send STL/scan directly to [success@protosthetics.com].
    • Specify if the custom brim should be used for future orders.
