During my time with iFIT, while still in college, I was exposed to both the technical and interpersonal aspects of prosthetics, guided by seasoned mentors. This experience furthered my knowledge in device fabrication, fitting, and underscored the importance of personalized patient centered care.<br /><br />I transitioned into the role of Account Executive last year. It is exciting to work with prosthetists as they formulate the best care plan for their patients--assisting with the proper sizing and other clinically important issues such as cost and the patient's functional levels. In this capacity, I work closely with these professionals to understand and help meet the unique needs of their most complex patients.<br /><br />My focus is on delivering innovative, customized solutions that empower patients to achieve their best outomes. I strive to enhance the well-being and prosthetic experience of individuals with limb loss and limb differences.&nbsp;A comfortable and adjustable iFIT prosthesis can greatly facilitate a person's journey to recovery.&nbsp;<br /><br />&nbsp;</div>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[Adjustability on the Go]]></title><link><![CDATA[https://www.ifitprosthetics.com/blog/adjustability-on-the-go7448589]]></link><comments><![CDATA[https://www.ifitprosthetics.com/blog/adjustability-on-the-go7448589#comments]]></comments><pubDate>Thu, 03 Aug 2023 13:04:29 GMT</pubDate><category><![CDATA[Uncategorized]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">https://www.ifitprosthetics.com/blog/adjustability-on-the-go7448589</guid><description><![CDATA[       Adjustability on&nbsp;the go with iFIT!Give your patients&nbsp;the freedom and mobility they deserve.Fit anywhere in under 2 hoursState-of-the-art manufacturing using the toughest materialsWithstands water, sand, and demanding useStrong but lightweight materials for in-home and outdoor useISO tested for rigorous strength and durability [...] ]]></description><content:encoded><![CDATA[<div><div class="wsite-image wsite-image-border-none " style="padding-top:10px;padding-bottom:10px;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;text-align:center"> <a> <img src="https://www.ifitprosthetics.com/uploads/6/2/7/7/62773607/published/frank.jpg?1691067949" alt="Picture" style="width:512;max-width:100%" /> </a> <div style="display:block;font-size:90%"></div> </div></div>  <div class="paragraph"><span><strong>Adjustability on&nbsp;the go with iFIT!</strong></span><br /><strong><span>Give your patients&nbsp;the freedom and mobility they deserve.</span></strong><ul><li>Fit anywhere in under 2 hours</li><li>State-of-the-art manufacturing using the toughest materials</li><li>Withstands water, sand, and demanding use</li><li>Strong but lightweight materials for in-home and outdoor use</li><li>ISO tested for rigorous strength and durability</li></ul></div>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fit the most challenging limbs]]></title><link><![CDATA[https://www.ifitprosthetics.com/blog/fit-the-most-challenging-limbs]]></link><comments><![CDATA[https://www.ifitprosthetics.com/blog/fit-the-most-challenging-limbs#comments]]></comments><pubDate>Thu, 18 May 2023 17:55:20 GMT</pubDate><category><![CDATA[Uncategorized]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">https://www.ifitprosthetics.com/blog/fit-the-most-challenging-limbs</guid><description><![CDATA[       The iFIT Prosthesis is the solution for patients with challenging limbs and frequent volume changes.&nbsp;Fit to accommodate patients as their leg loses volume.Can be used as a preparatory device for when the limb matures.Will provide a comfortable fit from beginning to the end of the day.Comes with customizable padding.
