It all started in 2014…
The challenge: finding a better solution for below knee amputees.
After travelling the world listening to Amputees and learning from orthopedic technicians, Amparo’s founders noted that without a doubt the most delicate aspect of a prosthesis is the socket, as this component makes direct contact with the stump and, therefore, requires the most customization for each individual amputee. Also, since the amputated limb is constantly changing, especially after surgery, it was clear that a comfortable fit would have to accommodate fluctuations in volume.
Therefore, the Confidence Socket, a completely remoldable solution, was created to support recent amputees in their walking journey. A methodology that redefines prosthetic care and has the potential to change the entire industry.
