Say hi to our new dynamic duo in sales

We are delighted to welcome our new Territory Sales Managers – MJ McNeece and Amy Carr – to the company.   MJ will be responsible for the West of USA and work out of the city of Seattle, while Amy will have her base in Tampa overseeing the South East of the US.

To introduce MJ a bit further, she has a Bachelor in Communication & Public Relations and she brings a wealth of experience from her previous role as the Outreach Coordinator for Naked Prosthetics’ educational team. Her extensive background in advertising and marketing is also an asset, as it’s offering valuable insights into understanding the market.

A greener footprint

Proudly presenting our brand new, environmentally friendly, and even more durable footshell with an extended warranty of 9 months.
As this footshell is made out of a bio-attributed PVC, that is 100% renewable, it heavily reduces the impact on the environment.
Also our new delivery box goes hand in hand with our green footprint, being smaller, from recycled material and with less color.

To further extend our assortment we also added more colors and you can now choose between Caucasian, Tan, Brown or Jet Black when it comes to skin tone.
The spectra sock delivered with the footshell will be sleek black going forward and to secure the perfect fit it comes in three sizes.

Enjoy the changes, and read all about Xtend Foot and its benefits at Xtend Foot Product page

Meet Capt Diane

Who are you? 
I’m Diane Pollock, a boat captain with a BAEd degree in Education with a specialization in Math.  I returned to college in my late 30’s working towards a degree in Physical Therapy, but I couldn’t resist the pull of the ocean and pursuing a life on the water.  I grew up on the Georgia/Florida line on the St. Mary’s River and the surrounding barrier islands.  After being a sponsored competitive rower for 3 years on a national level, I was given medical clearance as an above knee amputee from the US Coast Guard to become a licensed boat Captain, so in 2011, I became a charter boat captain.  I also serve in the US Coast Guard Auxiliary as a Coxswain conducting marine patrols on our local waters.

What’s your story?
I lost my leg above the knee in 2002 at the age of 32 as a result of osteomyelitis after a knee surgery to realign my patella.  I fought the infection for 9 months before being given the choice of an above knee amputation or a straight-leg fusion with a titanium rod running through the knee joint.    I had been locked out straight in a full leg brace for months, so I chose the amputation.  If I had chosen the fusion surgery and the infection returned, I would have lost the leg at an even higher level.

What does Xtend Your life mean to you?
For me “Xtend Your Life” means pushing the limits in everything I pursue.  I have found that most limits are usually self-imposed when I put my mind to something.  After the amputation, I became more sensitive to all of the controls I need to exercise to maximize my potential in everything.  As a result, I feel like I’m healthier than I was before the amputation.  My life is lived in some of the harshest environments.  For me the durability of the Lindhe Xtend products are vital to me staying active on the boat and in the saltwater lifestyle.

Pushing development

Lots of user needs to take care of – so of course we need even more skilled people in our product development team.
So happy to present Isabelle (Bella) Buonassisi, a Biomechanical Engineer who really understands the combination human body and mechanical design, and who truly loves helping end users to a more active and free life.

Bella already has a lot of previous experience from development projects within Medtech, and with us she will work both with new development as well as improving existing product lines.

Outside work you will find Bella travelling the world, kitesurfing, lifting weights, or just out in nature with her cool Amstaff Lexi.

Welcome Bella- you are just the perfect fit for us!

 

Two new US sales reps

So excited to announce that we now will be covering Central and West territories in the US with our own newly recruited sales representatives – Tamara Sneeringer and Evan Glenn.

As Central Territory Manager, Tamara will work out of St Louis, where she was born & raised. With 12 years of experience in Prosthetics, but most recently out of the profession, Tamara is really looking forward to coming back to the field and making a difference in the lives of end-users. When not on the road she loves spending time with friends, family and especially her daughter. She the adoring “grandmother” of a 4-year-old Bernese Mountain dog.

Covering the West, Evan is an enthusiastic surfer living in San Diego, with a passion for action sports, nature, his wife and a dog named Moose (no confirmation that he wants to get a pet moose named Dog). Evan has tremendous and varied experience in O&P and chose to pursue a career in Prosthetics, so he can help amputees get back to doing what they love.

Wow – what a treat to have these dog-loving, skilled and passionate people on board!

 

 

Boosting Product Management

We are so happy to introduce our new Product Manager – Ray Speelman – to the company. Ray has long experience in the industry – both as a CP (prosthetist) at his own clinic as well as product specialist/educator at various companies within O&P.
Not only has Ray spent large parts of his live working with prosthetics, he also has an exciting background being in the U.S. Navy, placed in cool countries like Japan and the tiny island Diego Garcia in the British Indian Ocean Territory south of India.

Do you have questions on applications – feel free to contact ray@lindheusa.com at any time for guidance.

So delighted to have you onboard Ray!

EIC Accelerator Grant

We are happy to announce that Lindhe Xtend has been awarded the EIC (European Innovation Council) Accelerator Grant for the development project Xtend U.

In fierce competition with many other companies and project in EU, the Xtend U project was selected to receive a 1,65 MEUR grant component with a possibility to receive also a blended finance during the course of the project.

Xtend U is a unique combination of materials that enables the reduction of relative humidity around the stump. This will make a massive difference for users that will get a cooler feeling and reduced risk of chafing, blisters, sores and infections. Xtend U will provide crucial comfort allowing prosthetic users to wear their prosthetics for extended periods of time. The new product expects to reach the market in 2025.

Production asset added

Now we have a super experienced production guy in place. Welcome Niclas Carlsson – hired as a Production Planner and Operator. Niclas actually used to work in the very same building with another Medtech company formerly renting the facilities. We will for sure be in good hands, as he knows every corner of this place. As we are planning to produce more of our products inhouse going forward, he will be a valuable team member making this happen. Also, if you want to know what happened historically or currently in the world, regarding sports, history or just anything – ask Niclas, he is up to date!

Thanks for joining us Niclas!
