A prosthetic foot should mimic the actions of the human foot and ankle in all phases of the gait cycle. Meracus® is designed to optimize the walking pattern throughout the gait cycle. With our unique recipe and innovative design, Meracus® provides a seamless gait experience. Hybrid composite technology: ➡️ From the attachment to the toe, the composite design of Meracus® offers a smooth transition and improved dynamic response. ➡️ The lay-up of composites is designed to maximize function and support throughout the gait cycle. ➡️ The heel and keel are joined with composite rivets, a new patent pending innovation that eliminates metal fasteners for improved flexibility and strength. #prosthetic #prostheticfoot #amputee

“I am a retired NY State Trooper, a mom and medal-winning Paralympic cyclist and a former Paracycling Champion. I have always been a very active person. I love the feel of pushing my body and cannot imagine a life without that. Then I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. At first it did not impact my ability to remain active or continue with life as normal, until it did. In 2011 I suffered a relapse that left me with foot drop on my left side. I was scheduled to compete in an Ironman in July of 2012, which began a search for me to find a way to live my new normal. I finished that Ironman, but soon MS raised its ugly head again; I started struggling with balancing on a two wheeled bike. This led me to using two BlueROCKER AFOs and a bike, which was modified into a trike with three wheels. Life takes crazy turns and twists. Through riding a trike, I was introduced to Paralympic sports. Never would I have thought I would represent the United States at the Paralympics. I have done so twice. In 2016, I competed in Rio De Janeiro, Brazil and won silver medals in the time trial and road race. In 2021, I again put on the stars and stripes at the Paralympics in Tokyo, Japan, where I won a bronze medal in the road race. If it is something you enjoy, find a way. If that stops working, look for a new way.” – Jill Walsh #AllardAFO #afo #afos #footdrop #dropfoot #thisisfootdrop #ms #multiplesclerosis #multiplesclerosisawareness #mobility

We are thrilled to announce that Laurie Lasky has officially transitioned into the role of Education Specialist at Allard USA! Laurie brings over two decades of invaluable experience with Allard products, beginning as a sales representative for the original distributor of ToeOFF®, SWASH®, and CHECK™ in the U.S., before stepping into her role as Northeast District Manager shortly after we opened our doors. Laurie’s unwavering passion, dedication, and loyalty to the mission of Allard Support for Better Life will be instrumental in helping us achieve our education goals. Please join us in congratulating Laurie as she embarks on this exciting new chapter! 

We are pleased to announce the appointment of Jonas Holmstedt as our new Chief Executive Officer, effective January 1, 2025, succeeding Dennis Williams, who has served the company with distinction. Holmstedt’s journey with Allard began in 2012 when he served as an advising attorney for global distributor relations. In 2017, he officially joined the Allard companies as a Board Member of Camp Scandinavia AB, and from 2021 as a Board Member of Allard support for Better Life. “I have had the privilege of working closely with Jonas on numerous projects over the past 12 years,” said Peter Allard, sole owner and President of privately held Allard Support for Better Life. “He deeply understands our mission of ‘Support for Better Life’ and consistently demonstrates exceptional leadership and a true passion for the industry we serve.” Born and raised in Sweden, Holmstedt has always maintained a global perspective, both as an attorney with focus on international business law, and from spending winters at his Florida home and embracing the “American way” with his insatiable curiosity and love of learning. Now based in Allard’s McKinney, Texas office, he resides in the Dallas area with his wife, Marie, and three of their eight children. Allard Support for Better Life will continue to benefit from Dennis Williams’ expertise, as he transitions to the role of Senior Advisor. In this capacity, Williams will focus on acquisition opportunities and the continued growth of Allard SmartFAB services in Chattanooga, Tennessee. Peter Allard reflects, “The first time I had the privilege of meeting Dennis was in 1988 when I joined my father in Key West while attending a sales meeting. Dennis was also present at that event, just beginning his O and P journey. Our first business encounter occurred after he joined Fillauer, when I presented a prosthetic foot concept to them, though it was not pursued at that time. In 2017 Dennis became CEO of Allard USA and right before transitioning to his new role, he became involved in the introduction of Meracus®, our pure composite prosthetic foot. It’s truly a full-circle moment.” We look forward to an exciting new chapter under Jonas Holmstedt’s leadership, building on our strong foundation in the industry and driving innovation and growth for ‘Support for Better Life’.

As we step into 2025, we remain dedicated to providing the innovative solutions and reliable support you need to help your patients achieve better mobility and improved lives. Happy New Year!

Happy Holidays from all of us to all of you! 🎄
