Biomimicry Philosophy

Our Biomimetic Prosthetics Are Tailored to Enhance the Natural Abilities of Human Legs

Biomimicry - Mimicking Nature 

The best prosthesis replicates the dynamic and adaptive qualities of natural limb movement. This approach has resulted in the design of the world’s first hydraulic ankle-foot by the Blatchford team.

Our engineers have developed one-of-a-kind, measurable, performance-response biomimicry technology. This technology is tailored to enhance the natural abilities of the legs and empower users to engage and enjoy life beyond movement.

We want users of our products to feel confident, secure, and integrated with their tech, able to live their life as they imagine.

Blatchford hydraulic ankles respond to the design specifications that natural movement dictates, fine-tuning joint position to align the body for optimum posture and comfort.

By continuously adjusting to absorb and release energy, our hydraulic ankles allow for an efficient roll-over, remaining perfectly aligned with the user for the next step to help reduce the risk of falls.

Replicating Nature to Support a Healthy Future

Lower limb amputees can face health issues long after amputation. Considering and managing these issues are crucial to the sustained health of every patient.

Lower limb amputees have an increased risk of osteoarthritis and are more likely to have back pain. Long-term musculoskeletal health depends on the close replication of natural limb movement.

Our technology, or "biomimetic engineering" or "biomimicry, or mimicking the natural foot, allows for this replication to help alleviate some of these types of possible symptoms.
