Thuasne, a global player in medical devices, is pleased to announce its continuous development in the US with the successful acquisition of the company Corflex Global, specialized in orthopedic bracing.

Knit-Rite’s SmartKnit Seamless AFO Socks are made with a unique process, similar to the way a caterpillar spins its cocoon—starting at the toe and circling upwards. These socks provide a seamless, wrinkle-free fit, like a second layer of skin, offering comfort for patients who wear Ankle Foot Orthoses (AFOs).

Knit-Rite's Torso-Interface collection is designed specifically for kids, teens or adults who wear body jackets or back/abdominal braces, including spinal orthoses for scoliosis. The collection features a variety of styles to accommodate different braces including V-neck tanks, crew neck tanks, and strapless shirts, all knitted seamlessly with lightweight materials for maximum comfort. The variety in styles makes Knit-Rite's torso interfaces so versatile to wear with any orthoses or outfit.

Tanya Khvitsko is originally from Belarus, a tiny country near Ukraine. She was born four years after the Chernobyl accident that happened in Ukraine in 1986, and because of that, she was born with some deformities. In 2013, she became an athlete. She’s a double blade runner now, and she’s run many 5Ks, many half marathons and full marathons. “I’m unstoppable!” Tanya exclaims.

“My quality of life is wonderful, in large part thanks to my Knit-Rite socks providing exceptional comfort and support to my amputated leg,” says BK amputee, Abby Meyer, 33. Since Abby’s leg was amputated at 11 months old, she has only known life as an amputee, making her well-adjusted to living life with limb loss.
