Jaipur foot provides different artificial limbs models, specializing in prosthetics for below-knee and above-knee amputees.
Jaipur Foot develops durable prosthetics for below-knee and above-knee amputees enabling sitting, running, squatting, climbing, walking and swimming.
BMVSS manufactures and distributes the Jaipur Foot in India. They reach other parts of India and other countries through temporary fitment camps (lasting a few days to several weeks) staffed by BMVSS employees. BMVSS has also established several associate organizations providing the Jaipur Foot, in Pakistan and the Philippines, and have also assisted with the creation of independent fitment centers throughout Asia, Africa, and Latin America.
30 USD to manufacture; distributed free of cost to amputees
