14ELMT… An Element of Design.
14th Element Fabrication is a full-service prosthetics fabrication company serving the Orthotics & Prosthetics (O&P) industry. We create complete, custom prostheses that clinicians can proudly deliver and that users will feel confident wearing.
OUR MISSION
It is our belief that by building upon the foundation of experience we can use innovations in science and art to create an exceptional, individualized prosthesis.
We strive to create products that redefine a medical device into functional fashion.
Our Approach
We systematically approach each job by taking into consideration the clinician’s desires, the wearer’s goals, limb presentation, type of prosthesis and aesthetic preferences. We then use our knowledge and experience to design and create a product that maximizes both comfort and function for each unique job.
Our Story
After years of experience fitting silicone on hundreds of individuals, Mariya saw firsthand how silicone could provide unparalleled comfort and function. Her desire was to create a company which not only provided quality, custom silicone products to those in the prosthetics community, but to also combine cutting edge technology and art in creating 14th Element Fabrication products. Her goal is to make prostheses that are functional fashion. Each piece 14ELMT produces should exemplify the culmination of function, fit and beauty.
