Curbell Plastics Joins Forces with ROMP to Bring Mobility to Those in Need
Copoly polypropylene sheet donation provides prosthetic sockets for access-limited patients
Orchard Park, N.Y., February 21, 2024
Curbell Plastics, Inc., one of the nation’s top suppliers of plastic sheet, rod, tube, tapes, and fabricated parts, donated polypropylene sheet materials to support Range of Motion Project (ROMP), enabling them to deliver definitive prosthetic sockets to access-limited individuals through their US Assistance Program (USAP) at a clinic held in San Antonio, Texas.
Jeff Wilson, Senior Business Development Manager – O&P for Curbell Plastics, continued support of ROMP programs with this material donation. Jeff commented, “We were happy to supply the 14 sheets of ½” thick copoly polypropylene that were needed to help the patients participating in the San Antonio clinic. We fully support ROMP’s mission to ensure access to high-quality prosthetic care for underserved people, improving their mobility and independence.”
This clinical volunteer program in San Antonio providing prostheses to people with amputation, was supported by a number of organizations and businesses. The patients were identified by ROMP’s partners Connect+Ability and Center for Refugee Services. The clinic was then held in partnership with Bionic Prosthetics & Orthotics Group LLC., which provided the clinical facility and oversight, and Baylor College of Medicine Prosthetics and Orthotics Program, which provided volunteer prosthetics residents and professors.
The ongoing collaboration between Curbell Plastics and ROMP highlights the importance of these types of partnerships to improve accessibility for individuals in need of prosthetic devices.
