FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: invention refers to medicine, more specifically to making prosthetic feet. A device for making a prosthetic foot comprises a split rigid hollow mould consisting of an upper movable portion having at least two drain ports, and a lower immovable portion forming a mould cavity with a running channel in a closed position, with a charge case made from silicone rubber arranged in the mould cavity, with a gate runner arranged in a heel region of the charge case and coupled with the running channel of the hollow mould with the wall thickening within the heel region above the gate runner, and a vertical section of this wall of the gate runner. The charge case has an outer surface permanent for all typical sizes and fitting the outer surface of the prosthetic foot of the required size. A toe region of the charge case comprises a ballast region merging into an engagement region. The ballast region of the toe region merges along the feet contour into the ballast region of the heel region, an outer side of which fits matches with an inner side of a thickened wall of the heel region.

EFFECT: invention provides cutting the designing and production costs for groups of metal hollow mould and reducing the operation maintenance labour input when covering the whole range of the typical sizes of the prosthetic feet.
