Amparo is revolutionizing prosthetics with a completely new method for making and fitting prosthetic sockets. The process is clean, intuitive and can be done anywhere, without plaster casting. Thanks to our unique, low-temperature thermoplastic, our sockets fit directly onto a residual limb and an entire prosthesis can be made and ready to walk on in just one session. Amparo’s vision is to empower 90% of the world’s 30 million amputees, giving them access to affordable, high-quality prosthetics; allowing them to begin their rehabilitation without unnecessary delay and live their lives to the fullest.
