Walking aids are nowadays better.
I'm Rafael Vidal, founder of INDESmed. What if I tell you nothing is impossible?
In 2008 I was in a plane trying to take off from Madrid airport. The plane crashed, leaving more than 200 dead. I was one of the 18 seriously injured survivors.
After 16 surgical operations, doctors decided to cut off the leg that had not yet healed. I refused and started to fight against standard medical procedures that had no cure for my case.
Due to my physical condition, I was fired from the company where I worked as a medical engineer.
In the basement of my home, I gathered a group of engineers who we used to work together and started designing the lightest, height adjustable, absolutely silent when walking, not causing hand pain forearm crutches in the world: INDESmed carbon fiber crutches can load up to 440lb with only 0.5lb weight.
In 2015, I found Dr. Aleksandar Lovic, a plastic surgeon who uses really innovative surgery techniques. He saved my leg and today I can run again.
