Start every Socket from a Better Shape
A great prosthetic socket starts with accurate shape capture.
Majicast helps clinicians capture the residual limb under hydrostatic weight-bearing conditions, supporting different clinic fitting workflows and broader prosthetic pathways.
By combining weight-bearing methodology, soft tissue control, and controlled volume matching, Majicast creates a stronger starting point for socket fit, comfort, and functional stability.

Why Hydrostatic Weight-Bearing is important?
The residual limb behaves differently when unloaded than it does when the patient stands. Under weight-bearing conditions, soft tissue shifts, pressure areas become clearer, and the limb takes a more functional shape.
Majicast uses hydrostatic pressure under load to shape the residual limb by matching volume and creating uniform pressure. This gives clinicians a stronger starting point for prosthetic socket fitting, supporting better pressure distribution, stability, comfort, and function.
Explore the Engineering Behind Hydrostatic weight-bearing
Better socket fit is not only about comfort. It is about load transfer, pressure distribution, tissue safety, and functional stability. Read the University of Strathclyde white paper to learn how hydrostatic shape capture and engineering principles can support improved lower-limb prosthetic care.
Shape Capture That Supports Better Fitting Decisions
Majicast improves the first step of prosthetic socket fitting: residual limb shape capture.
By capturing the residual limb under weight-bearing conditions, Majicast helps clinicians assess limb geometry, soft tissue behaviour, and volume under load before selecting the next stage of care.
As part of the Amparo System, Majicast can support adaptive rehabilitation sockets and digital documentation through 3D scanning.
From Shape Capture to Digital Workflow
Create a controlled weight-bearing impression with Majicast, then scan the captured socket or shape into a 3D model for documentation, CAD/CAM workflows, training, or case review.
Majicast helps bridge hands-on clinical fitting with digital prosthetic workflows, giving teams a clearer record of the shape captured under load.
Distal Control for Better Socket Geometry
Soft tissue moves under load. Without distal tissue control during shape capture, socket geometry can become harder to refine.
Majicast helps manage distal tissue during hydrostatic weight-bearing shape capture by supporting tissue elongation and volume control.
This gives clinicians a more clinically useful starting shape, especially for primary patients, sensitive tissue, or residual limb volume change.
What Clinicians and Users Say About Majicast
Stuart Croxford
Below knee amputeeBeing fitted for a full-contact socket in one appointment, giving direct feedback to clinicians, making quick adjustments, and leaving with a new socket on the same day has been a game changer.

CPO @AmparoDistal tissue control is critically important in prosthetic casting because it ensures accurate shaping and support of the residual limb’s distal end within the socket. Proper control of distal tissues helps distribute pressure evenly, reduce the risk of skin breakdown, and support overall prosthetic function.

Frequently asked questions
Here are some common questions about Majicast
Majicast is Amparo’s hydrostatic weight-bearing shape capture tool. It helps clinicians capture residual limb shape under load as part of a more controlled and repeatable prosthetic fitting workflow.
It is a method of capturing residual limb shape while the patient applies load through the limb. Majicast uses water-based hydrostatic pressure to support even contact around the limb during shape capture.
Because the residual limb can behave differently under load than it does in a non-weight-bearing position. Capturing shape under load helps clinicians start from a more functional fitting position.
No. Majicast is the shape capture and fitting method within the Amparo System. The socket pathway is selected separately, depending on the patient, clinic workflow, and stage of care.
Majicast can support Amparo direct-fit pathways, including Trust Socket and Resilience Socket, depending on the clinical indication and fitting goal.
Yes. Majicast can be especially useful where residual limb volume, tissue presentation, and fit needs are changing during early rehabilitation.
Yes. After shape capture, the captured socket or shape can be scanned for 3D documentation, CAD/CAM workflows, or clinical review.
No. Majicast supports clinician decision-making by bringing more structure and repeatability to the shape capture step. The clinician remains central to fitting, assessment, and socket refinement.
Majicast is designed for clinical and mobile use. It does not require complex lab infrastructure and can support treatment rooms, outreach programmes, and mobile fitting settings.
