PFC supply professional and honest service.
Blatchford understands how important the journey of limb loss is. Our advanced lower limb prosthetics devices (lower artificial limbs) are designed to empower both the amputee and the prosthetist (the clinician who fits the patient for the artificial limb).
Users of our products should feel confident, secure, and integrated with their prosthetic leg, knee, ankle, foot or limb system; able to live their life as they imagine. The patient&#;s lower limb performs like a natural extension of the human body.
Caregivers, amputees, orthotists and prosthetists alike, all know that true, natural mobility in lower limb prosthetics and orthotics can make all the difference in a life. Mobility provides confidence...increasing the quality of life for amputees and their caregivers.
The widespread availability of and increasing performance of 3D printing technologies has led to an explosive development in the prosthetics sector in the last decade. Increasingly customized and patient-unique solutions are being developed by a spectrum of suppliers who all aim for customized and cost-effective solutions that are adjusted to the particular needs of the individual. These businesses fall between truly commercial and charitable. Their services are intended to be highly patient-enabling first, with a common theme being that they exist first to serve and then to profit.
The company is the world’s best prosthetic manufacturing companies supplier. We are your one-stop shop for all needs. Our staff are highly-specialized and will help you find the product you need.
Listed below are some of the top 3D-printed prosthetics and the leading companies of this expertise:
3D-printed prosthetic feet offer patient-customizable and cost-effective solutions for lower limb amputees. The demand in this area is increasing with the incidence of diabetes, which too often results in foot amputations.
Using advanced additive-manufacturing methodologies, these prosthetics can be tailored to individual patient specifications with relatively low effort. 3D printing allows for greater complexity of functional designs and design iterations to be made quickly without excessive complexity/delay in making new parts. These provide comfortable and functional replacements for lost limbs without the cost of traditional methods. They aim to be lightweight and durable and are intended (somewhat) to mimic the natural movement of a foot. This recreates mobility and improves the quality of life for users.
3D-printed prosthetic hands offer customizable and cost-effective solutions for amputees with high functionality and increasingly close-to-real-use scenarios. These prosthetics are typically designed to closely mimic the functionality and appearance of natural hands. The use of skin sensors to allow users to control hand movements is reported as so closely integrated with patient behaviors that phantom pains diminish or disappear, once the user becomes skilled in the device use.
Unlike traditional prosthetics, which are often one-size-fits-all, 3D printing allows for personalized design adjustments to accommodate unique anatomical features and functional requirements. Quick iterations of the design are also made possible by 3D printing. This process also significantly reduces the lead time associated with traditional prosthetic manufacturing methods. Additionally, 3D-printed prosthetic hands are lightweight and durable, making them comfortable to wear for extended periods and suitable for everyday activities. The materials used in 3D printing, such as thermoplastics and laser-sintered metals, offer both strength and flexibility. Figure 1 below shows a 3D-printed prosthetic hand being demonstrated:
