OKLAHOMA CITY – Orthocare Innovations of Oklahoma City has been selected for the second consecutive year to receive a R&D 100 Award from R&D Magazine.

Orthocare Innovations received the award for its Galileosystem for measuring, analyzing and reporting the function of patients who have experienced lower limb loss, injury or disease.

“Prosthetics technology has become more advanced, offering persons who have lost limbs the opportunity to return to highly active and productive lives,” said Doug McCormack, CEO. “Payers, however, are increasingly requiring better documentation and objective activity data prior to approving advanced technology devices. Galileo is consistent with the demand for evidenced based practice and will serve to both support clinician decision making and to ensure that patients receive appropriate care.”

The R&D 100 Awards recognize the 100 most technologically significant products introduced over the past year.
