Clinical Evidence
With over 25 years’ experience, the OPRA™ implant system has been used by hundreds of amputees since the world’s first surgery in 1990, through using a bone-anchored prosthesis patients have experienced a revolutionary change that went beyond the functional gains, to improve quality of life1. Other clinically proven outcomes include:
- Increased range of motion
- Eliminated pressure, sores and pain caused by the socket
- Improved sensory feedback (osseoperception)
- Improved sitting comfort
- Increased prosthetic use
- Increased quality of life
- Improved mobility
