SERVING THOSE INJURED WHILE SERVING US.

Meet a Real Hero...

First Sergeant DaTrelle Black served as an Explosive Ordinance Disposal (EOD) tech in the armed forces for over 21 years. He risked his life to ensure others were safe.

 

While on tour in Iraq, DaTrelle was injured.  DaTrelle was working to disarm an improvised device.  But, as he approached the device to finish disarming it, it exploded.  

 

The explosion burst both ear drums, broke both legs and an arm, nicked arteries, … Others rushed to his aid.

In a Medically Induced Coma...

He was placed in a medically induced coma for two days, spent 6 months in physical therapy, and had another 9 months in occupational therapy. His body is still riddled with shrapnel, and he lost a finger to the explosion.

 

But, DaTrelle didn’t give up … As he says it - he returned down range and had multiple deployments after his recovery.

 

DaTrelle feels lucky and is eager to give back to other veterans with life altering limb loss. He serves as a Director of Warriors Prosthetic Initiative a non-profit seeking 501(c)(3) status.

Our Veterans are Our Heroes

Like DaTrelle, so many of our injured veterans want to - as DaTrelle says – “get back down range.”

 

For DaTrelle that meant down range in theater.  But, for many veterans, it means returning to hobbies or careers they love – it means hunting, competing in a 3Gun match, or attending a PRS match.

 

Some even want to continue to serve like DaTrelle.

But there is more to Limb Loss than Prosthetics and Rehabilitation

While the medical community does much for those with limb loss, the simple fact is - the world is not adapted to their specific needs.

 

The hobbies they enjoyed, the work they were trained for, and everyday activities are sometimes out of reach. This is particularly true with regard to power tools, gardening equipment, and sporting equipment, like firearms.

 

Veterans are trained to use firearms, but those who have suffered an upper body limb loss struggle to use firearms safely and effectively.  Warriors Prosthetic Initiative went looking for a solution.

LifeWork™ Adapter is the Solution.

Warriors Prosthetic Initiative is working with LifeWork™ Adapter to make life easier for our fellow veterans.

  

LifeWork™ Adapter developed the SPIR device that enables those with upper body limb loss to safely and effectively use firearms, such as handguns and rifles.

 

In addition, LifeWork™ Adapter develops other devices for adapting power tools, gardening equipment and sporting equipment for use with prosthetics used by those with upper body limb loss.
