WELCOME TO THE UTAH OSSEOINTEGRATION
CLINICAL RESEARCH PROGRAM​
​​​​​
Our research is focused on advancing our understanding of amputee patient populations and advancing new prosthetic technologies using a data driven approach. ​Our long term goal is to help develop new therapeutic strategies that improve the health and clinical monitoring of patients that have suffered from limb loss. ​
Most amputee patients are currently using socket technology to attach their prosthetic limbs. The conventional socket technology has a number of issues such as skin breakdown, poor fit, and pain. Direct skeletal attachment of prosthetic limbs, known as “Osseointegration”, offers the potential to eliminate many of the limitations of sockets.
Our Lab
​
Our research team is dedicated to advancing osseointegration techniques through groundbreaking studies and trials. We aim to revolutionize the field of clinical research with our innovative approaches.
A key component of the success of our program is our collaborations with key players in the government, health care and medical device industry. Working towards a common goal of advancing prosthetic technologies. These important players include the Department of Veteran Affairs, The University of Utah, Enovis Healthcare, and clinical researchers from around the country.
