Botswana

iFIT Prosthetics recently completed mission work in Botswana to fit persons with lower limb loss using their immediate fit prosthetic system.  Using only hand tools and the devices he brought with him, Dr. Timothy Dillingham and his son Rhys, who served as his technician, successfully fit 17 persons over the course of 7 days! Six were persons with transfemoral limb loss and 11 had transtibial limb loss. Most of the fittings were done in austere rural clinics.  It took about two hours each fitting followed by instruction and gait training.

iFIT is not only an industry leader in advanced adjustable prostheses, we have the optimal devices for meeting world-wide prosthetic needs.  Read the press release in the Botswana Daily News
here.       

This man lost his limb to trauma 20 years prior. The conventional device he was wearing was very uncomfortable.  The iFIT prosthetic was modified to fit his smaller limb and provided a comfortable fit with safe and stable gait.

This woman lost her limb to trauma 14 years prior.  She remarked that the iFIT socket was comfortable and not heavy. She was able to be fit outdoors and walked proficiently in under two hours.

​This man lost his limb a year prior.  He previously needed to walk with crutches with his conventional prosthetic, and also had pain and skin breakdown.  He reported no pain with the iFIT and so far no skin breakdown.

This woman loved the iFIT blue device, "I wouldn't change a thing.  It is just amazing and cosmetically fine!"

This person's BK amputation and knee flexion contracture were accommodated with an iFIT AK prosthesis with a cut out.  He had not walked with a prosthesis since his amputation 5 years prior.  Now he is able to get around on two limbs once again.
This bilateral patient lost him limbs four years ago. He loves the comfort and stability the iFIT system has brought him. Here he is up and walking immediately after his fitting.
