Otto Bock Announces New Turnaround Time for BK Definitive Prosthesis

3/10/2006

MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA February 16, 2006 - Otto Bock HealthCare, the leader in prosthetic fabrication, launches a new service; In Today and Out Tomorrow. The new service will help facilities manage their fabrication business.

 

“With the launch of this new program we are able to give our customers what they want and need from a full service fabrication facility,” said Brad Ruhl, VP of Sales and Marketing, Technical Orthopedics. “The In Today and Out Tomorrow program allows our customers to manage their fabrication business effectively and efficiently with the confidence of knowing that Otto Bock is there to help them achieve their goal.”  

 

When a definitive Transtibial job is received, our highly trained technicians will fabricate to the specifications of the customer and ship it out the next day. If the job is not delivered on time we will take 10% off the next definitive transtibial fabrication job. Our new service will help our customers receive their prostheses in a timely manner but also our new streamlined fabrication technique will also reduce the weight of the definitive transtibial socket on average by 20%, leaving our customers with the satisfaction of a job well fabricated.
