WillowWood Global, a leading designer, manufacturer, and distributor of prosthtic products, has acquired Xtremity. The transaction builds on WillowWood’s growing strength in custom solutions which includes central fabrication, design liners, and now fully adjustable prosthetic sockets.

Based in Denver, Colorado, Xtremity was formed in 2017 and successfully patented and commercialized a unique socket “preform” using a proprietary carbon reinforced polymer. The innovative material replicates the strength and durability of a carbon fibre laminated socket, but with the added benefits of much quicker fabrication, ongoing clinician adjustability and improved comfort to enhance patient outcomes.

“Acquiring Xtremity supports our strategy at WillowWood to focus on levelling the playing field for clinicians by empowering them to optimize patient outcomes. Xtremity’s spot-heat adjustments quickly resolve fitting issues and secure patient comfort, and so is a game-changer in socket technology,” said Daniel Rubin, COO of WillowWood.

Mahesh Mansukhani, CEO of WillowWood, added: “We’ve followed Xtremity’s progress for some time and are very excited to fully integrate it into WillowWood. O&P providers can now heat, thermoform, trim, and assemble the XtremityTT socket in about one hour and this fact alone has the potential to transform the productivity of our industry.”
