Get Your Orthocryl & Pedilen at SPS

SPS now offers distribution of two Otto Bock HealthCare product categories, limited to both Orthocryl® resin products, including Siegelharz and Pedilen® foam products.

Orthocryl® resins are colorless, transparent two-component resins with a methylmethacrylate base. The cured laminates are non-irritating to the skin. They have excellent strength and are thermoplastic, thus may be heated and reshaped.

Pedilen® combines two synthetic components to create rigid foam which can be used on thin-walled synthetic sockets for controlled alignment of parts, static or dynamic. Pedilen® can be hand mixed quickly and safely. Once hardened, the foam is lightweight and can be worked like wood.

Freedom Launches Another Fresh Idea

Forget everything you know about prosthetic liners. Forget all about sticky, cloth-covered products that are difficult to use, difficult to clean, and fray at the edges. Freedom Innovations' new Parydonn^TM Prosthetic Liner is the industry's most hygienic, user-friendly, medical-grade socket interface available today. It is odor-resistant, durable, easy to don and doff, and easy to trim. The secret is a highly advanced, silky-smooth Parylene Coating, used widely on catheters and in the implantable medical device industry, now patent-pending to Freedom Innovations for prosthetic use. The Parydonn Liner is available in eight transtibial sizes, with or without a locking mechanism, and is suitable for all activity levels.

Pre-Approval Helps Practices Overcome Cost Concerns

CareCredit® offers Pre-Approval-- an exclusive option designed to help O&P practices provide patients with a financial solution at the same time they present recommended treatment.

Often patients are not prepared for the out-of-pocket costs associated with O&P needs and need payment options before they can move forward with accepting optimal care. With Pre-Approval, practices can know in advance whether most patients will be approved for CareCredit's payment plans. Practices can Pre-Approve patients without asking them to complete an application, saving valuable time and effort. And unlike a standard credit inquiry, Pre-Approval does not affect a patient's credit bureau report.
