Who We Are
Get to Know Us
We are a dedicated team of multidisciplinary professionals that are passionate about bringing innovative solutions to the limb-loss community. In the U.S. alone there are currently more than 4.2 million amputees, and with the prevalence of diabetes and trauma incidents increasing, this number is growing significantly by the day. In fact, today in the United States alone there will be more than 500 new amputees per day taking their first steps !
Over 75% of lower limb amputees experience high prevalence of skin irritation, infection and embarrassing odor. These skin problems are caused by mechanical forces, allergic reactions, and fungal and bacterial infections which can be exacerbated by heat and perspiration buildup. For many, these issues are chronic and impact their ability to return to normal social engagement or work activities.
Our mission was to develop a Standard of Care for Amputee Hygiene Management. The result; The Liner Wand, with our patented Apocrine hygiene technology.
The Liner Wand Product
There is currently no clinically proven ‘standard of care’ for liner hygiene and Management. The vast majority of the world’s 30 million amputees consistently suffer from skin irritation, discomfort, and unwanted odor from their prosthetic liners.
Until now, liner hygiene has been delivered via traditional soaps and alcohol wipes whose decontaminating effects can be short-lived, ineffective, and even counterproductive.
The Liner Wand w/Apocrine® is the first deep-cleaning prosthetic liner system clinically proven to reduce odor and irritation while enhancing comfort and quality of life. The Liner Wand® is positioned to become the ‘standard of care’ in Liner Hygiene.
