In today’s health care environment where efficiency and cost control is the key to successful practice management the FLO-TECH® SOFTIE™ has become an integral part of our patient management process. The simplicity of fitting and customizing the FLO-TECH® SOFTIE™ along with the compression, protection, stability and comfort it provides is unmatched by other available products or any in-house fabricated devices.
We have been able to utilize the FLO-TECH® SOFTIE™ as a marketing tool by offering in-services to PT’s and nursing staffs at local hospitals and standalone convalescent/rehabilitation centers. The feedback from the prescribing physicians and nursing staffs have been very positive. They appreciate the fact they can easily access the amputation site while under their care and their positive experiences along with positive feedback they receive from their patients have led to increased referrals.
Thank you FLO-TECH® for offering this product!

I am a Physical Therapist and Licensed Prosthetist, and I have found the FLO-TECH® line of products to be an essential tool for reducing recovery time and transitioning patients into their definitive prosthesis. The FLO-TECH-TOR™ not only helps protect the newly amputated residual limb from bumps and falls, it is also an excellent positional device for contracture management. It is easy to donn and doff which encourages compliance by nursing and other support staff.
As a Physical Therapist, we use the FLO-TECH-TOR™ in combination with the Universal Frame Outer Socket (UFOS™) to begin early Touch-Down weight bearing. This has been a great tool for reducing our patient’s down time, and has helped a lot the prosthetic acceptance and understanding.
I have known Robert N. Brown, CPO (the inventor and designer of FLO-TECH® O & P Systems, Inc.) for more than 30 years, he is one of the most knowledgeable, and committed prosthetists I know. I would like to take this opportunity to Thank You Bob for taking the time to develop such a great line of products.
