Integrum and Southern Prosthetic Supply Team Up for 2025
Integrum, a leader in innovative bone-anchored prosthetic solutions, is thrilled to announce an exciting expansion in its educational offerings for 2025. In partnership with Southern Prosthetic Supply (SPS)—the premier distributor of orthotic and prosthetic products in the United States—Integrum will co-host a series of regional educational events aimed at enhancing the professional development of prosthetists.
Expanding Opportunities for Education
In the upcoming months, seven educational events will be held across the United States, providing prosthetists an opportunity to deepen their understanding of Integrum's OPRA™ Implant System. This unique educational initiative is designed specifically for professionals working with transfemoral amputees who have experienced challenges with traditional socket fittings. The partnership with SPS serves as a cornerstone of Integrum's broader educational strategy, which aims to train over 200 Certified Prosthetists and Orthotists (CPOs) throughout the year.
The series follows the success of a recent event in Boston, where local prosthetists engaged with Integrum's clinical experts. The response was positive, highlighting the need for continued professional education in this critical field. Attendees of these events will have the opportunity to earn 2.25 Continuing Education Units (CEUs) upon successfully passing a concluding quiz after participating in the sessions led by Kurt Collier, Integrum's Vice President of Prosthetic Medical Education.
Real-Life Impact and Education Content
Each educational forum will feature:
- - An overview of the OPRA™ Implant System and how to select candidates effectively.
- - Methods for integrating value-based practices into everyday clinical workflows.
- - Personal stories from OPRA™ Ambassadors who will illustrate the transformative impact of the system in real-life scenarios.
Reflecting on the Boston forum’s success, Jeffrey Zanni, U.S. President of Integrum, expressed: “The collaborative efforts with SPS have proven invaluable. Events like these are essential for educating prosthetists about the OPRA™ Implant System as a viable alternative for amputees who may benefit from different solutions.”
Sam Brouillette, Manager of Clinical Education at SPS, echoed this sentiment, stating: “Our Clinical Education Days equip professionals with practical tools and strategies they can immediately implement in their clinics. We encourage both seasoned experts and newcomers to join these sessions.”
Commitment to Advancing Prosthetic Care
Integrum remains steadfast in its mission to drive advancements in prosthetic care and to collaborate closely with clinical partners to ensure successful outcomes for patients. Their commitment is evident through initiatives like the expanded educational calendar, fostering an environment of continuous learning and improvement.
