No matter where you are on your mobility journey, whether you're adjusting to life after amputation or simply getting familiar with an orthotic device to help you walk, today is the day you move forward. With Blatchford by your side every step of the way.
We're an award-winning manufacturer of some of the world’s most advanced prosthetic limbs, bringing together clinical expertise and pioneering innovation to redefine mobility. For over 130 years, we’ve built lasting relationships with the people who rely on lower-limb prosthetics, guided by a caring approach and an unwavering commitment to innovation.
Our Linx Limb System was designed to deliver the most natural, intuitive walking experience possible. By synchronizing the knee and foot in real time and adapting to every step, Linx provides smoother, safer, and more confident mobility - so you can move through each day with ease.
During a mobility assessment, a prosthetist will look at an amputee's static & dynamic sitting, as well as asking them to perform standing activities and show their walking gait. Understanding your K-Level is the first step to knowing which product is going to be best suited for you.
With hobbies like motorcycling and boxing, Andy needed a limb system that could match his pace. Linx provides the adaptability and support he need to spend more time with his family and doing the things he loves.
Medicare Part B covers prosthetic devices needed to replace a body part or function when a Medicare-enrolled doctor or other health care provider orders them. For Medicare to pay for your prosthetic device, you must go to a Medicare-enrolled supplier. This is true no matter who submits the claim (you or the provider).
Medicaid will cover the cost of an artificial leg due to a disability if a physician or healthcare provider states that it's medically necessary. Medicaid programs don't all cover prosthetic devices in the same way or to the same extent. The best way to see how your state handles this kind of coverage is to contact your local agency and ask about it.
From being able to stand easily, to participating in the Paralympics, we are here to help amputees meet their life goals. Blatchford understands that one person's mountain is another person's staircase!
