With the Open Socket there is no need for custom fabrication. The device comes in various sizes which are adjustable in length, diameter, and contour to adequately fit the largest possible range of below-elbow amputations.
Fast.
The sooner amputee patients begin using a prosthetic arm, the sooner they are on their way to physical and mental recovery. Amputee patients can begin using the Open Socket immediately post-operation.
More for less.
Your organization probably has a limited budget to spend on purchasing proper prosthetic care. As a nonprofit organization, IPT has used grant funding to offset the product development costs of our innovative technology. This enables us to dissiminate a technology that allows clinics and aid organizations to serve more people for less money.
Simple to understand.
It is often difficult to verbally explain to amputee patients the benefits they will experience by utilizing a prosthetic arm, and this can discourage new patients. With the Open Socket, there is no need to explain. Patients can quickly be fit with the device and within minutes, they can see the benefits for themselves.
