Prosthetic and Orthotic Care at Universiti Malaya Medical Centre
Artificial limbs, orthoses, custom footwear and insoles, designed and fabricated to the measured requirements of each patient.
Mobility by Design
BioApps Sdn Bhd operates from Level G, South Tower, Universiti Malaya Medical Centre. The fabrication workshop and the research laboratory are held within the same facility as the clinic, so that work on socket design and motion analysis is applied directly in the fitting of each device.
The clinic accepts patients referred from Universiti Malaya Medical Centre and from public and private hospitals throughout Malaysia, for artificial limbs, orthoses, custom made footwear and insoles.
