Our Story:
Founder Jay Martin, CP, FAAOP was invited by NASA to help create an Ironman exoskeleton suit for space and military applications. Through working with NASA he discovered and created counter-intuitive new methods of how to make prosthetics more comfortable. He then set out to create the most comfortable sockets on earth… and the Socket-less Socket™ was born. Now thousands of amputees aro
und the world are able to gain quality of life back through more comfortable sockets. From the 30 million amputees in developing nations without access to any prosthetics to the 2 million amputees in the U.S. struggling with uncomfortable rigid sockets, our technology uniquely makes a comfortable socket reachable for all. Our Mission is to replace the antiquated rigid socket status quo and make conforming and comfortable prosthetic sockets reachable to all amputees around the world. 95% of amputees (30 million) in developing nations do not have access to prosthetics due to a lack of practitioners and expensive fabrication equipment needed to make conventional rigid sockets. The few that do typically get a 1970's-era hard socket, which is or will become uncomfortable, limiting mobility. Our modular Socket-less Socket™ uniquely offers the same comfort for those in developing nations as the fortunate who have medical coverage for our state-of-the-art prosthetics locally.
