OTWorld 2026 Recap: Your Workflow, Our Sockets

OTWorld 2026 was an incredible week for Amparo Prosthetics, filled with live demonstrations, packed conversations, new product showcases, and a clear message that resonated with clinicians throughout the event:

Your workflow, our sockets.

This year in Leipzig, we focused on showing how the Amparo System can support modern O&P clinics without forcing them to completely change the way they already work. From standard in-clinic tools to weight-bearing shape capture, our goal was simple: demonstrate how Amparo sockets can fit into existing clinical workflows while helping clinicians deliver faster, more adaptable, and more comfortable prosthetic care.

A Packed Booth Built Around Real Clinical Workflows

Throughout OTWorld, our booth was full of clinicians, distributors, partners, and visitors eager to see the Amparo System in action.

One of the strongest messages from the event was that Amparo is not asking clinics to replace everything they already know. Instead, our sockets are designed to integrate with the tools and methods that prosthetists already use every day, including ovens, grinders, carvers, casting liners, and established in-clinic fabrication workflows.

This created a powerful shift in conversation.

Rather than asking, “How do I adapt my clinic to Amparo?” many visitors began asking, “How can Amparo work inside my clinic?”

That is exactly the direction we want to take: giving clinicians flexibility, compatibility, and choice while supporting better fit outcomes for prosthetic users.

Live Demos That Filled the Booth and the Corridors

Our live demonstrations became one of the highlights of the week. At several moments, the booth filled completely, with visitors gathering into the surrounding corridors to watch the Amparo System being used in real time.

These demos gave clinicians a closer look at how our sockets can support shape capture, direct fitting, interim care, and adaptive workflows. Visitors were able to see not only the final result, but the full process behind it, from preparation to fitting, adjustment, and refinement.

The hands-on nature of the demos sparked meaningful conversations around clinical practicality, patient comfort, and how Amparo can help reduce complexity in lower-limb prosthetic care.

Majicast and the Excitement Around Weight-Bearing Shape Capture

Majicast was one of the standout products of OTWorld 2026.

Visitors were especially excited to see how hydrostatic weight-bearing shape capture can help clinicians start the fitting process from a more functional and controlled limb shape. By capturing the residual limb under load, Majicast supports a more repeatable shape capture process and helps clinicians better understand how the limb behaves when the patient is standing and moving.

The response was clear: clinicians are actively looking for better ways to improve fit consistency, reduce variability, and create sockets that support comfort and stability from the start.

Majicast helped bring that conversation to life.

The demos showed how weight-bearing shape capture can support total contact principles, improve soft tissue control, and provide a stronger starting point for the socket fitting process, especially in cases where limb volume and tissue presentation are changing.

New Products and Full Hotel Workshops

Beyond the exhibition floor, Amparo also hosted dedicated hotel demo sessions that were filled with highly engaged clinicians, distributors, and partners.

These sessions allowed us to go deeper into the Amparo System, present new products, and create a more focused environment for technical discussion and hands-on learning.

A major highlight was introducing our new Above-Knee Socket, an exciting expansion of the Amparo portfolio and an important step toward bringing direct-fit methodologies to more prosthetic users. The response from experienced prosthetists was extremely encouraging, with strong interest in how Amparo’s direct-fit philosophy can support above-knee care.

These sessions also created valuable conversations around workflow compatibility, product positioning, clinic adoption, and how different Amparo solutions can support different stages of care.

Supporting Primary Patients from the Start

Another major focus at OTWorld was the value of the Amparo System for primary patients.

Primary patients often face rapid residual limb volume change, sensitive tissue, evolving suspension needs, and the need to begin rehabilitation as early as possible. Traditional socket pathways can require multiple visits, repeated adjustments, and frequent restarts as the limb changes.

This is where the Amparo System can make a meaningful difference.

With adaptive sockets, remouldability, pressure adjustments, and compatibility with different shape capture methods, Amparo gives clinicians more flexibility to support patients through the early stages of rehabilitation.

Instead of restarting care every time the limb changes, clinicians can adapt the fitting pathway as the patient progresses.

For primary patients, this means a more continuous rehabilitation journey, one that supports mobility, comfort, confidence, and faster progress from the beginning.

Strong Conversations and Clear Momentum

One of the most valuable parts of OTWorld was the quality of the conversations we had with visitors.

Clinicians shared their current workflows, their challenges, and their questions. Many wanted to understand how Amparo sockets could fit alongside their existing tools, whether through direct fitting, casting liner workflows, weight-bearing systems, or more traditional in-clinic processes.

These conversations confirmed the strength of our new message:

Your workflow, our sockets.

Amparo is building a system that meets clinicians where they are, helping them improve fit, reduce complexity, and support better outcomes without forcing a single methodology.

That flexibility is becoming one of the most important parts of the Amparo story.

 

Thank You, OTWorld

OTWorld 2026 was an important milestone for Amparo. Our booth was full, our demos drew strong attention, our workshops created deep engagement, and our new products opened exciting conversations about the future of direct-fit prosthetic care.

We want to thank everyone who visited our booth, joined our workshops, attended our hotel sessions, shared feedback, asked questions, and helped us continue shaping the future of the Amparo System.

Events like OTWorld remind us why collaboration with the O&P community matters so much. Every conversation helps us improve, refine, and build solutions that better support clinicians and prosthetic users around the world.

We leave Leipzig energized, grateful, and more committed than ever to our mission: helping clinicians deliver high-quality, personalized prosthetic care with greater speed, flexibility, and confidence.

We are already looking forward to OTWorld 2028.
