Now that I have finally finished, with Drs. Sarmiento and Latta, the new Manual of Fracture Casting and Bracing w 3 DVD's, I have decided on a new project. I am going back into O&P practice. I am going to open a brand new facility in St. Petersburg, Florida specialing in Lower Extremity Alternatives. I am going to call it LegMart or maybe K-Leg O&P. I rejected Leg Kingdom and Dollar Leg.
This new concept will specialize in low cost alternatives to the high cost current prosthetic treatment. My first new concept is a modified skate board. By connecting the pylon to a skate board instead of one of those new carbon fiber funny feet, you can reduce forces within the socket and save gas at the same time. I can see insurance companies and the Dr. Fritz's really jumping on this. That gives me athother idea.....We can save the insurance company a lot of money by just repalcing the prosthetic foot with a pogo stick attachment. Sort of an updated Pirate peg leg look.
I am looking for some keen investors to help out.
