I wanted to thank everybody who replied to my message where I was looking for elbows. There were several individuals who replied with used ones and advice. I also want to thank Jackie Bradford with Hosmer Dorrance Corporation, who was able to find several elbows and other components for us. Thank you, Jackie, for your extra effort in helping these Haitians who have gone without limbs for a combination of 15-20 years. I appreciate this great community we participate with and hope there is some way I can return the favor in the future.

If any of you still have things you want to send, send them to the following address if you can get them to this location before May 7th. Matt Bracken is the prosthetist going to Haiti with the May 7th team.

Matt Bracken
7026 South Commerce Park Drive, Suite 2
Midvale, UT 84047

After May 7th, please contact me concerning where to send any parts or components, as we have different teams from all over the US and Canada going at different times of the year.

As always, if you have any questions, please let me know.

Best regards,

Matt

Subject: [OANDP-L] Looking for elbows

All,

I've put out emails in the past on this list looking for prosthetists
who would be interested in joining one of our teams. Of course, I am
always looking for any who would be interested in going with us,
however, last week while I was in Haiti we met with 2 patients who need
Above Elbow prostheses. I'm emailing today to see if anybody has any
used/out of warranty/or other elbow components so I can fit these 2
patients in Haiti without having to figure out how to come up with the
$700 part for each one. Is there anybody out there who might have
access to something like this?

I look forward to your responses.

Best regards,

Matt
