Success Stories

Van Der Watt Prosthetics provides unbeatable, innovative high-performance prosthetic solutions. You may have seen Francois Van Der Watt’s work in action on sports stations, newspaper headlines, and national talk shows.

Francois has used advanced athletically engineered prosthetic blades that have propelled famous Olympic & Paralympic athletes to success. Van Der Watt Prosthetics & Orthotics worked directly with Track and Field athletes and medalists like Oscar Pistorius, Jerome Singleton, Hunter Woodhall, Trenten Merrill, and Jason Macom (Cycling World Championships medalist). Francois’s dedication and skills helped these athletes achieve the athletic excellence they are destined for.

While we’re located in a small town, we’re thrilled to see our work go beyond the River Valley region as our athlete’s inspire people across the globe.
