About

A woolen interface between an amputated limb and prosthetic socket. The sock provided comfort to amputees and quickly became a standard within the prosthetic industry.

John and Edwin Arbogast developed the first semi-finished, above-knee prosthesis that incorporated interchangeable parts in the U.S. This was a milestone in the prosthetic industry.

Ohio Willow Wood’s SACH foot (Solid Ankle, Cushion Heel) was the first to be manufactured in the U.S.

The company created the first conventional, lightweight, energy-storing prosthetic foot on the market to incorporate carbon composites.

Revolutionizing the industry’s idea of a prosthetic interface, the Alpha Liner is the first fabric-covered, gel interface system in the industry.

Featuring a unique triangular design, the Pathfinder foot revitalized the industry’s design of high-activity feet.

A tool of the OMEGA Tracer CAD system, the T-Ring can capture a prosthetic shape in 1/100th of a second. This CAD tool blazed the trail for more advanced shape capture tools.

These custom liners allow practitioners to determine the thickness and placement of gel within the liners, providing amputees optimum comfort.

The latest in vacuum suspension technology provides secure and comfortable suspension for amputees with maximum convenience.

The new generation of Alpha Liners, with hybrid gel, controls pistoning without a rigid distal matrix that can potentially irritate residual limbs.

Further revolutionizing the industry’s idea of a prosthetic interface, the Alpha® Liner family unveils its first fabric-covered, silicone interface system.
