Our Customers
We develop quality products and services that improve people’s mobility.
We help individuals advance their everyday life and pursue their goals without limitations. Prosthetics are used by people who were born with limb loss or limb difference, or who have had limbs amputated for a variety of reasons. Bracing & Supports are used by individuals who develop knee pain, are diagnosed with osteoarthritis in their joints, incur fractures to their ligaments or injure themselves causing movement impairment. Our products are delivered to the end-users through healthcare providers who specialize in assisting individuals with impaired mobility. Embla Medical’s customers are primarily within Orthotic & Prosthetic (O&P) Clinics where clinicians fit patients with necessary products and solutions, and subsequently claim reimbursement from private or public insurance providers.
Embla Medical can have the most material impact on society through our core mission of improving people’s mobility. Our product solutions and patient care services directly contribute to Goal 3 on Good Health and Well-Being. Globally, only 30-40% of new lower limb amputees are fitted with a prosthetic solution. The average age is between 65-70 years and vascular related amputations are above 70%. Statistics demonstrate that if amputees in this age group do not become mobile, life-expectancy is materially reduced. Physical activity and exercise can have immediate and long-term health benefits and more importantly, regular activity can improve quality of life.
