Mobility and Daily Living Aids after Amputation
Losing a limb affects balance, mobility and many everyday tasks, and the early months after surgery are often a time of rehabilitation and adjustment, whether or not a prosthesis is planned. The right equipment helps you stay safe, get around with confidence and keep doing the things that matter to you.
For amputation information and support, speak to your healthcare professionals and visit the NHS website. Our qualified trusted assessors are also here to support you and your care team every step of the way, so please call us on 01926 624432.
Many of the products below are available to buy or through our Warwickshire-wide mobility equipment hire service. Hire can help to facilitate hospital discharge, enable you to try equipment before committing to a purchase, or provide support as needs change. We also offer a free home assessment with one of our qualified Warwick-based team to help you choose what’s right for you.

Wheelchairs and Powerchairs
A wheelchair is often the main way of getting around after a lower-limb amputation, especially before or alongside a prosthesis. Lightweight and active self-propelling wheelchairs give independence, while folding powerchairs help over longer distances or if arm strength is limited.
Shop our Wheelchairs and Powerchairs ranges, including the Ergo Lite 2 Self Propel, Küschall Compact, ICON 30 and Robooter E60. Many of these are also available to hire rather than buy.
Walking Aids
Once walking with a prosthesis, many people use a walking stick or rollator for extra stability, particularly outdoors or on uneven ground. A tri-tip ferrule adds grip and confidence to a stick.
Shop our Walking Aids range, including the Folding Walking Stick, Tri-Tip Ferrule, Nitro SL and Let’s Go Indoor.
Transfers and Vehicle Adaptations
Transfer plates and swivel seats make getting in and out of the car easier, equipment hoists lift a wheelchair into the boot, and hand controls can allow you to continue driving where appropriate.
Shop our Vehicle Adaptations range, including the Transfer Plate, Swivel Seat, Equipment Hoists and Push Pull Hand Controls.
Home Modifications and Safety Products
Ramps give wheelchair access to entrances, grab rails provide support in the bathroom and hallway, and a stairlift or homelift keeps the whole home accessible.
Shop our Home Adaptations range, including Ramps, Grab Rails, the Straight Stairlift and the Homelift.
Bathroom and Hygiene Aids
Washing safely without a prosthesis usually means sitting down. Shower stools, bath boards and toilet surrounds give a secure seat and something to hold, and a level-access wet room allows you to shower from a wheelchair or shower chair.
Shop our Bathing range, including the Swivel Shower Stool, Bathboard with Handle, Toilet Surround, Ocean VIP Ergo and Wet Room solutions.
Seating, Beds and Pressure Care
A pressure-relief cushion protects the skin if you spend long periods in a wheelchair, a riser recliner helps with standing, and a home care bed with a bed rail makes getting in and out of bed easier.
Shop our Pressure Cushions, Riser Recliners and Beds ranges, including the Flo-Tech Solution, Vicair Adjuster Cushion, Islington home care bed and Mobility Bed Rail.
Repairs, Modifications & Servicing
Needs change as you recover and adapt, and existing equipment doesn’t always need replacing. Many wheelchairs can be adapted with extra accessories or sizing adjustments, and powered wheelchairs can often be reprogrammed or have their controls adjusted. Our team also offer regular servicing to keep equipment safe and reliable.
Shop Wheelchair Accessories, Wheelchair Powerpacks and Powerchair Adaptations, or see our repair, modification & servicing team for adjustments, adaptations and powerchair programming.
Using a combination of these products can help you stay mobile, safe and independent after an amputation. Find out more about Wenman Healthcare, or browse our full range of products in the shop.
