Ortop Central Damen Pattern Service
We have a track record of producing over 20,000 Damen corset patterns per year. We produce Damen Corset patterns using our special CAD software based on the measurements from your workshop and our company's prescribed body shape patterns and send them to you by email.

Ortop Central M.A.S.^® digital
M.A.S. technology advocate Mr. Marlo Ortiz creates the model data from the measurement data sent via the dedicated app, Kawamura Gishi performs CAM cutting, plaster coating, and delivers a perfect positive model to your P&O workshop.

■■Össur -Proposal for Prosthetic Components Effective in Early-Stage Rehabilitation-

As part of the exhibition of Össur products, we will be showcasing not only newly approved products in 2025, but also the Connect TF system — designed to facilitate the assessment of prosthetic adaptation and support early rehabilitation with femoral prostheses. Additionally, we will present packaged prosthetic components that are especially effective for use in rehabilitation.

In addition, models wearing our newly approved prosthetic products will be attending. This is a rare opportunity, so please stop by our booth and take the chance to share their personal impressions of wearing them.

Connect^® TF
The Connect^® TF is an adjustable, off-the-shelf socket offered by Ossur for low-activity femoral amputees. The socket depth, circumferential diameter, and strut angle can be adjusted to match the amputation and follow the shape of the amputation. This also allows early stage prosthetic fitting for new amputees with edema and variable amputation volume.

Pro-Flex^® Terra
The most versatile model in the Pro-Flex^® series. Truly unique combination of softness and flexibility associated with low-active feet, and powerful energy return associated with high-active feet. User Removable Foot Cover.

Iceross Seal-In^® X Locking TF
A prosthetic silicone liner for users with TF amputations across all activity levels. Superior function by combining the benefits of locking suspension and Seal-In vacuum suspension. Can be used with lanyard suspension when paired with the Icelock 850 Hybrid system.

Icelock^® 850 Hybrid
Option to change easily between locking suspension only, Seal-In only or combining these suspensions mechanisms at the same time. The Quick Connect feature is designed for ease and convenience, allowing users to don the socket while seated and release it from the liner with a simple push of a button. Should be used with the Seal-In X Locking TF liner, movable seal rings, and an airtight socket.

■■Introducing Orthotic Solutions to Support Patients with Cardiovascular Disease　

We will exhibit and introduce our renewed gait analyzer “Gait Judge System G2”, which can be used as a feedback tool for rehabilitation. In addition, we will showcase the “Gait Innovation,” which allows for easy and quick height adjustments with the Height Adjust System, as well as the “MILINE” series by Becker, newly approved in 2025.

You can actually touch and try out the products at the venue. Don't miss this opportunity to experience the latest technology!

MILINE^TM

Designed for individuals with unstable knee or ankle joints due to lower limb impairments or severe spasticity requiring orthotic correction, this joint provides controlled motion using a powerful spring and offers high strength and durability.

Gait Innovation

Gait Innovation is a knee-ankle-foot orthosis (KAFO) designed to facilitate early gait rehabilitation by lowering the barrier to height adjustment, in consideration of the importance of early orthotic intervention.

Gait Judge System G2 This gait analyzer can be attached to orthotics to objectively evaluate gait. By walking with the dedicated attachment attached to the Gait Solution series or Double Krenzak foot joint, the plantar flexion braking force and ankle joint angle generated by the orthosis during walking can be measured and the state of the rocker function can be checked in real time on the dedicated tablet. The optional surface electromyograph can also be used to check myoelectric waveforms during walking.  ※ The Gait Judge System G2 was developed by Pacific Supply Co., Ltd. under the guidance of Professor Koji Ohata of the Department of Physical Therapy, Faculty of Medical and Health Sciences, Hokuriku University.

Luncheon Seminar

“How to Care for Lower Limb Amputees: Key Points in Residual Limb Management and Rehabilitation from Surgery to Discharge”　

　Date & Time: Sunday, July 20, 2025, 11:20 AM – 12:50 PM　
　Venue: Room 2 (Middle Hall)
　Speaker: Dr. Hiroaki Kato, Orthopedic Surgeon, Komono Kosei Hospital, Mie North Medical Center, JA Mie Koseiren
　Chairperson: Mr. Tomohiko Sasagawa, Representative, PORISE

In 2025, a Clinical Practice Guideline for lower limb amputation is scheduled to be released. The guideline emphasizes the important role of recovery-phase rehabilitation hospitals as key facilities for prosthetic rehabilitation.

As a community-based hospital, Komono Kosei Hospital plays a vital role in regional medical care, providing prosthetic rehabilitation for approximately 10 lower limb amputees annually. Many of these patients successfully regain walking ability and reintegrate into society.　In this seminar, Dr. Kato will discuss comprehensive postoperative care, including specific methods for residual limb (stump) management.
He will also introduce his current initiative, "Transfemoral Prosthetic Rehabilitation 2.0", which emphasizes proactive walking training.

Manufacturers' Workshop

“Transfemoral Prosthetic Rehabilitation Using the Immediately Fittable Connect TF”

• Date & Time: Saturday, July 19, 2025, 10:50 AM – 11:40 AM
• Venue: Room 4
• Presenters:
• ① Mr. Yusei Sawada, Prosthetist and Orthotist, Kawamura Gishi Co., Ltd.
• ② Ms. Maya Okuno, Prosthetist and Orthotist, Pacific Supply Co., Ltd.

Connect^® TF is an adjustable socket provided by Össur, designed for low-activity transfemoral amputees. It allows immediate fitting by adjusting height, circumference, and alignment to fit the patient's residual limb. For new amputees whose residual limb volume fluctuates significantly, the fitting process can often take time. However, the adjustable Connect^® TF socket facilitates a smoother transition into prosthetic rehabilitation. Early loading on the residual limb can promote better limb shaping and improve load tolerance and sensory feedback.

In this workshop, we will introduce not only the features of the product but also examples of its clinical use, including both benefits and challenges. A live demonstration of fitting and adjustment will also be provided. We look forward to your attendance.
