DENVER, March 28,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- WillowWood Global, a
leading designer, manufacturer, and distributor of prosthetic
products, today announced that it has acquired Xtremity. The
transaction builds on WillowWood's growing strength in custom
solutions which includes central fabrication, design liners, and
now fully adjustable prosthetic sockets.
Based in Denver, Colorado,
Xtremity was formed in 2017 and successfully patented and
commercialized a unique socket "preform" using a proprietary carbon
reinforced polymer. The innovative material replicates the strength
and durability of a carbon fiber laminated socket, but with the
added benefits of much quicker fabrication, ongoing clinician
adjustability and improved comfort to enhance patient outcomes.
"Acquiring Xtremity supports our strategy at WillowWood to focus
on leveling the playing field for clinicians by empowering them to
optimize patient outcomes. Xtremity's spot-heat
adjustments quickly resolve fitting issues and secure patient
comfort, and so is a game-changer in socket technology" said
Daniel Rubin, COO of
WillowWood.
Mahesh Mansukhani, CEO of
WillowWood, added "We've followed Xtremity's progress for some time
and are very excited to fully integrate it into WillowWood. O&P
providers can now heat, thermoform, trim, and assemble the
XtremityTT® socket in about one hour and this fact alone has the
potential to transform the productivity of our industry."
Xtremity customers can continue to order through their current
channels and the offering will be showcased at WillowWood's booth
at the American Academy of Orthotists and Prosthetists (AAOP) 50th
Annual Meeting and Scientific Symposium in Chicago, from March 6th
to 9th, 2024.
