The Brief<\/p>\n

Manifest Prosthetics, Orthotics & Bionics creates custom devices designed around each patient’s needs.<\/p>\n

The Tampa clinic combines patient care and an onsite fabrication lab under one roof.<\/p>\n

Its work brings together traditional craftsmanship and digital technology to help people regain mobility and independence.<\/p>\n

TAMPA, Fla. – A step across the room. A return to a favorite activity. The freedom to do more on your own.<\/p>\n

At Manifest Prosthetics, Orthotics & Bionics in Tampa<\/a>, those everyday possibilities are the goal behind the custom devices its team builds and fits.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The veteran-owned business combines hands-on craftsmanship with modern technology to help people living with limb loss.\u00a0<\/p>\n

All under one roof<\/p>\n

What we know<\/p>\n

Manifest’s Tampa location<\/a> houses both its clinic and fabrication lab. That puts the people evaluating patients in the same building as the technicians making their custom prosthetic sockets \u2014 the portion of a prosthesis that fits around the remaining limb.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Keeping those steps together allows the team to work on the device where the patient receives care.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The clinic serves people throughout Tampa Bay and beyond.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Services offered<\/p>\n

Dig deeper<\/p>\n

According to Manifest, its services<\/a> include upper and lower-limb prosthetics, pediatric devices, custom orthotic braces and silicone restorations.<\/p>\n

The team uses digital scanning as well as traditional casting, choosing the approach based on the patient’s needs.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Care also includes follow-up adjustments and repairs as patients continue using their devices.\u00a0<\/p>\n

A personal connection<\/p>\n

What they’re saying<\/p>\n

For co-founder Gordon Maniere, the work has a personal connection.<\/p>\n

Maniere tells FOX 13 he grew up around his father’s prosthetic lab.\u00a0<\/p>\n

His father was a prosthetist, giving Maniere an early view of the craft and the people it serves.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

As a teenager, Maniere began learning to laminate prosthetic limbs. Today, his practice also incorporates digital scanning and has fitted patients with prostheses.<\/p>\n

That combination of experience and evolving technology reflects his emphasis on individualized care and addressing problems with fit.\u00a0<\/p>\n
