We are proud to announce two great events in October.  Our annual CLeg event is returning with professional patient model and Genium/CLeg specialist Robert Jordan and the clinical team from Ottobock. This is for both current users and those interested in microprocessor technology.  And we are very excited to host our first ever Scuba diving event for our patients! 

 

Please see below for more information.  All events are free of charge but registration is required.
