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.
