Background

Blatchford is a world leader in the design and manufacture of advanced high precision components for artificial lower limbs, and the provision of outstanding prosthetic and orthotic care. Blatchford is a private company, which employs in excess of 450 employees in clinics and offices worldwide.

The awards won by Blatchford make an impressive list. Three Queens Awards for Technological Achievement, a Design Council Award, the Prince of Wales Award for Innovation and a Millennium Products Award are a testament to the groundbreaking work carried out by the company since its foundation in 1890.

Central to the company's product portfolio is the range of prosthetics known as Endolite, which use carbon fibre composite materials and smart electronics to provide sophisticated but practical solutions to the needs of lower limb amputees. Exolite, the company's Orthotics brand utilises the latest CAD CAM technology to enhance the fit and functionality of orthotic devices.

At Blatchford Clinics the Service Care Model includes provision of high quality individualised rehabilitation, a reassuring back up service and continuous education programmes on technical and rehabilitation topics. The UK NHS consistently awards a large proportion of prosthetics and Orthotics contracts to Blatchford.
