Jammu, June 12: The US-based Comprehensive Prosthetics and Orthotics (CPO), which primarily focuses on improving the lives of disabled through innovative devices and techniques, today launched its first standalone clinic in Jammu which will become a one-stop solution for patients suffering from amputations, limb loss, as well as lifestyle-related joint problems. The opening of the clinic will strengthen the company's presence in the Northern region, giving a fillip to its expansion plans in India, where the sector is still unorganized and in a very nascent stage, and do not have many specialized players. "Our aim is to restore mobility and quality of life in those who have lost hope. Our customized products help people get on with their lives independently by making them resume their normal activities of living. With the new clinic in Jammu, we have entered a very important market in the state of J&K. Our expert clinicians will work with the patients and their near and dear ones to understand their needs and recommend the best device that will effectively meet their requirements, functions and lifestyle," said Vinod Bhanti, Chairman, CPO India. CPO is the premium provider of all prosthetics and orthotics products and services in the US, where it has a network of 21 clinics across various locations. The company strategizes to implement a similar patient-centric model in India, and the Jammu launch will foster its growth plans in the country, where it wants to have presence at 20 new locations in the next one year. The clinic, situated in downtown Bakshi Nagar area of the city, will offer complete range of prosthetics, orthotics, pediatrics and pedorthics (footcare) solutions to patients. |
