Otto Bock TT Fabrication: In Today, Out Tomorrow

Otto Bock HealthCare launches a new service: In Today and Out Tomorrow. When a definitive transtibial job is received, our highly trained technicians will fabricate to the customer's specifications and ship it out the next day. If not delivered on time, we will take ten percent off the next definitive transtibial fabrication job.

Our new service will help customers receive prostheses in a timely manner, and our new streamlined fabrication technique will reduce the definitive transtibial socket weight on average by 20 percent, leaving our customers satisfied with a job well fabricated.
