devices. This new generation of amputees are continuing to seek out exciting and unique looks to their prosthetic devices. The UNYQ 3D printed customcovers allow amputees to choose the color, pattern, and design of their prosthetic cover to express their own personalities. Recently, Howard Orthotics & Prosthetics provided custom prosthetic covers to one of our U.S. Marine veterans who is also a USA gold medal Paralympian in Sled Hockey. We had a lot of fun designing these covers and were able to have the design of his Gold Medal from the 2018 Paralympics printed onto his prosthetic covers. Now our Paralympic athlete is able towear his goldmedal daily, without getting a sore neck from carrying all that gold around his neck. The Howard Orthotics & Prosthetics team has continued to bring the latest prosthetic and orthotic technology to the North Country even through this pandemic. We look forward to our continued growth of patients and bringing the latest in orthotic and prosthetic technology to the North Country in our Watertown and Canton offices.
Howard Orthotics & Prosthetics has provided the Martin Bionics Socket- less socket to local veterans. This new socket technology uses a NASA inspired lightweight design which allows the prosthetic socket to weigh a fraction of the conventional sockets. The space age design allows this to be one of the least restrictive and coolest sockets in the market, both in looks and temperature. The design of this socket allows the amputee to adjust the socket to improve the fit of the socket as needed. This allows our amputees to keep living their lives and not make as many trips into our offices for minor adjustments. Amputees using this socket design are reporting a 94% increase in their sitting comfort thanks to the design of the socket. Howard Orthotics & Prosthetics has also started to provide 3D printed removable custom prosthetic covers. Custom prosthetic covers are designed to improve the overall cosmesis and body symmetry for amputees using prosthetic
