Company Summary

Limber offers the world’s first transtibial prosthesis with dynamic energy return that is both durable and affordable. Amputees need a second prosthesis for activities where they don't want to risk their expensive primary one. Clinics rarely sell these due to lack of insurance reimbursement and limited options. Limber solves this by delivering lightweight, durable devices, providing clinics a new revenue stream and improved patient satisfaction.
