We are Blatchford

For over two decades, our team in the US has worked tirelessly to help those who face mobility and quality of life challenges through continued research, innovation and design of lower limb prosthetics that promote independence and participation. Our operations are specifically set up to cater to the requirements of the US market with product assembly, customer service and product servicing based at our Head Office in Ohio. Our US team works closely with the Research and Design Team at our Headquarters in the UK to ensure feedback from the US market is fully represented.

Committed to Every Customer

We understand that good mobility and wellness go hand-in-hand. Through our products and clinical services, we strive to get the best outcome for every user.

Our holistic approach to product design centres around the whole person and not just their mobility limitation. This ensures we develop solutions that not only help people to get the most out of every day, but to do so in a way that cares for their long-term health and wellbeing.

We are committed to delivering value, quality and outstanding customer experience to every customer.

Leaders in Innovation

Founded in London in 1890, we have a long history of firsts and continue to be widely recognised for our commitment to innovation. We are proud to have created the very first commercially available hydraulic ankle, the first microprocessor controlled hydraulic ankle and the world’s first fully integrated limb system.

Our pioneering technology has been the recipient of many prestigious awards including the Queen’s Award, the MacRobert Award, the German Design Award and the Medical Design Excellence Award in the USA.

We continue to pursue innovation, challenging possibilities and perceptions to create solutions that change lives.

Working Together

We develop products through an extensive collaboration between our research and development team, clinical experts, patient insight groups and customers to find solutions that deliver results.

We collaborate with universities and independent researchers to prove the medical benefits of our technology. This work helps provide evidence to inform best practice in the wider rehabilitation community and give healthcare providers the confidence to prescribe advanced technology to patients.

Making a Difference

As a trusted and independent provider of mobility solutions around the world, we have a tremendous opportunity and responsibility to transform the lives of people and deliver long-term value to society. How a business contributes to tackling global and regional challenges is scrutinised more than ever and the importance of meeting these expectations is of strategic importance to us.

We actively work to document the impact of our business operations, identify progressive objectives and implement procedures to mitigate economic, social and environmental challenges.
