(June 6, 2017) Tamarack Habilitation Technologies, Inc. (Minneapolis, MN, USA) and OrthoPets LLC (Westminster, CO, USA) are pleased to announce a strategic partnership to manufacture and distribute a new line of veterinary sleeves, called OrthoPets GlideWear Veterinary Sleeves.
Officially available June 7, 2017, the new product line features Tamarack’s GlideWear® low friction fabric technology, designed to prevent fur and skin damage caused by repetitive friction & shear forces against at-risk tissue. The dual layer fabric technology absorbs damaging friction & shear forces between the unique fabric layers, keeping irritating contact forces away from the skin.
“We are enthusiastic about partnering with OrthoPets, another well-respected leader in the Orthotic & Prosthetic field. The collaboration between Tamarack’s patented strategic friction reduction textile technology and OrthoPet’s reputation and deep understanding of the veterinary orthotics & prosthetics market is truly exciting”, says Jason Pawelsky, Sales & Marketing Manager at Tamarack Habilitation Technologies.
Martin Kaufmann, Owner at OrthoPets adds, “OrthoPet’s patients, referring veterinarians, and pet owners alike will benefit from the integration of GlideWear® low friction fabric technology with Veterinary Orthoses & Prostheses (V-OP) solutions. This strategic collaboration closes the gap between advanced biomechanical V-OP solutions for animal patients and the challenges of managing skin damage in non-verbal patients. My trust and confidence in Tamarack products stems from my internship work at Tamarack twenty years ago, integration of their products in my previous human O&P career, and Tamarack’s desire to develop V-OP specific products and solutions.”
