Mobility made possible.
About Blatchford
Welcome to Blatchford
There is no way to measure the physical and mental strain brought on by lower limb amputation. Blatchford believes caring for someone means always keeping their best interests at heart. For more than 130 years we have maintained a continuous relationship directly with the people who use artificial lower limbs. Our caring, innovative spirit helps us to build these types of relationships.
Founded in 1890, Blatchford employs over 1000 people worldwide. With US headquarters in Ohio, America’s heartland, Blatchford is breaking through boundaries by creating the future of mobility and helping people realize dreams.
Our values of performance, integrity, innovation and collaboration reflect who we are, and help hold us accountable and guide what we do every day.
Biomimicry Technology
At Blatchford we share the belief that long-term health depends on the replication of the dynamic and adaptive qualities of natural limb movement.
The engineering of nature is the prime source of inspiration at the heart of Blatchford’s biomimetic design philosophy. Our research and engineering focus on the replication of the natural limb; it's biomimetic properties.
We constructively challenge the standard, and we strive to innovate deliberately and improve how we deliver the best product to our customers and partners.
Redefining Outcomes
Our goal isn't to replace a limb. We aspire to reimagine life by redefining outcomes. We address the best possible mobility, function and comfort and go beyond movement to connect with people in ways they never dreamed possible.
Advanced Tech That is Second to None
Blatchford is a multi-award winning manufacturer of some of the world’s most advanced prosthetic technology. One of our more advanced intelligent prosthetic limb systems, Linx, has won engineering awards and is still the world's first and only fully microprocessor controlled limb system.
Linx mimics the complex structure of the human anatomy. It senses and analyzes data from both the knee and ankle to provide a synchronized stream of instructions that coordinate the movement of the entire prosthetic limb.
