We finished another busy week of treating multiple patients with many different levels of limb loss.
It was great to see our long time friend Brad, triple amputee that traveled to us all the way from Ohio for a new pair of legs!
We casted Brad on Monday morning for new sockets as he was struggling with the fit of sockets he was using. We fabricated diagnostic check sockets a few hours later to evaluate the fit and to make any necessary adjustments!
With everything feeling good and the new sockets globally supporting the entire residual limbs, we then move forward with designing the carbon composite definitive sockets!
We completed the final sockets by Tuesday afternoon and Brad returned to try them on; he was very pleased and felt much more control with sockets that fit securely!
One of the many benefits of the high level of clinical skill is greatly reducing the time to custom design the new prosthetics in a matter of hours rather than a matter of months!
With our onsite, state of the art laboratory, our treatment methods greatly benefit our patients with better fitting sockets and the ability to train with the new prosthetics on our campus!
For Brad, traveling thousands of miles to be treated by Dream Team Prosthetics Clinical Director Chad Simpson is a choice he made for the best outcome and mobility independence!
Brad attended the 2025 Bilateral Life Camp and was able to meet and interact with other individuals that are seeking a higher level of function using bilateral above knee prosthetics!
It was great seeing Brad again and we look forward to treating many more patients that travel great distances for the unprecedented high level of care we provide at Dream Team Prosthetics!
