Key points include affordable, high-performance products and qualified personnel:
- University online study and specialized training. (EmPower members were instrumental in the development of the world's first formal distance learning program in orthopedic technology.)
- Support for the development of customized technical solutions. (e.g., testing the "Niagara Foot" and the "All-Terrain Knee" with hundreds of amputees in Africa and Latin America)
We will present our new impression device at the OT World, which can be used to produce transtibial plaster negatives or test sockets from cast bandages that can already be fully loaded during the process. Due to the excellent basic fit, subsequent modeling is unnecessary. The device includes 2 impression modes, pin-liner sockets (traction distally), and hydrostatic volume sockets. The advantage of this device is that it does not require electricity, water, or compressed air connections, making it usable anywhere in the world.
