The High Fidelity Socket Interface - A Revolutionary Breakthrough in Prosthetics 

At Optimus Prosthetics, we're always looking for ways to help our patients enjoy more active, comfortable lives. Our tireless dedication to patient well-being has led us to develop partnerships with global leaders in prosthetics technology innovation, including biodesigns, inc.- a high-performance prosthetic center located in Southern California that utilizes a clinical approach combined with state-of-the-art technology and techniques to create advanced interface designs and components.  

biodesigns created the advanced High-Fidelity Interface System (HiFi) that we proudly offer to our patients as an alternative to traditional transfemoral (above knee) socket interface products.

 

HiFi interface 

We are the first prosthetics facility in the world licensed to use the patent-pending HiFi Interface. This interface is an advanced biomechanical design that allows prosthetic wearers to enjoy enhanced limb control, greater stability, tactile feedback, and comfort. And it's a revolutionary breakthrough in the field of prosthetics technology.

Terrance 

"My ability to move is much better.  It doesn't feel like I'm carrying something.  The HiFi is a part of me.  It's solid.  It has me.  And it's a wonderful thing." - Terrance Wortham, Optimus Prosthetics patient, and High Fidelity Interface wearer.

Optimus Patients Complete Peer Visitor Training with the Amputee Coalition 

On April 30, 2011, about a dozen Optimus Prosthetics patients gathered for a full day of Peer Visitor Training with Molly French of the Amputee Coalition.  Participants spent the day role playing and receiving valuable training for the purpose of forming a Peer Visitor Team.    AHA

The result?  

ABUNDANT HOPE OF AMPUTEES is a program of individuals who want to share their stories in order to help someone else in a similar situation. Successfully living with limb loss, these peer visitors are available to give support, education and encouragement to new amputees and their families.

 

"Finally I am able to give back to the community that has helped me for so long.  If it wasn't for people referring me to the right hospitals and prosthetists, I would be lost.  Maybe now I can give direction to those who need some support just like I once needed," said Kendra Herber, Certified Peer Visitor.

 

Optimus Prosthetics would like to thank these individuals for giving back to the amputee community!
