The leading prosthetics manufacturer is leaning on the launch of its latest innovation to disrupt the norm and deliver game-changing results on every level.

Martin Böhm, Chief Experience Officer at Ottobock said, “With 25 years of continuous research and development, we’ve responded to our users’ experiences and requests and incorporated the latest technology and trends to create a device that uniquely empowers those who wear it. With our new C-Leg 4 we want to break the mold, educate and normalize seeing prosthetics among other tech ‘must-haves.’ Like any piece of well-designed technology – this enhances users’ everyday lives but more than that – it breaks down barriers and genuinely changes lives.
