About Us

 

We are creating the perfect fit for the amputee residual

limb by remolding the interior of any loose fitting carbon

fiber prosthetic socket.

 

 

My name is Matt Taylor and I am the founder and president of TaylorCraft Inc.  In March 2006, I went to the BAPO conference in Glasgow, Scotland introducing Frogskin to the UK market.  Bill Spence, the head of the Strathclyde University’s Wolfson Center in Glasgow has been successfully using Frogskin for patient volume loss and socket maintenance since last October 2005.  He also uses it secondarily for a finishing touch in a hydrostatic socket manufacturing technique which he has perfected and is passing on to his students.  Frogskin recently had its Eastern European debut at the Orthopadie+Reha-Technik in Leipzig, Germany during the second week of May 2006.  We met many enthused practitioners and were fortunate to encounter many worldwide distributors.  Soon we will be off again to Vancouver, British Columbia in August 2006 for the CAPO conference.  Frogskin’s burgeoning success means great relief for amputees suffering with volume loss in their original prostheses. 

Frogskin came into the market in September 2005 at the AOPA convention in Las Vegas.  Since then, it has been supplying relief to amputees suffering from loose fitting prosthetic sockets in America, Canada, Mexico and the UK.  It is a fast drying polyester resin used to refit the interior of any non-polypropylene socket to the mold of the residual limb.  It is used to refit a patient’s original socket after they have undergone volume loss.  The Barr Foundation, one of America’s major charitable organizations in supplying prosthetic need to indigent amputees, has initiated a pilot program in which they will refund the purchase of Frogskin to any prosthetist using the product for the maintenance of verified fundless amputees.  The details are provided below for instructions on eligibility.  This product replaces practically all previous methods of prosthetic socket maintenance to due volume loss.

Yours Very Truly,
Matt Taylor
