Canadian Convention and Dr Jan Ertl

[Wayne Renardson]

Barr Foundation and Dr. Jan Ertl to Attend  the 2004 CAPO Convention 
in Ottawa,Ontario  July 21-24,2004

The Barr Foundation, a 501(c) 3 non profit organization was  
established in 1978 to assist amputees with prosthetic rehabilitation 
who otherwise have no financial resources. The Foundation accepts 
used and new prosthetic components as donations for third-world 
efforts where we have established programs in 9 foreign countries.   

We also actively advocate on behalf of amputees for proper and 
qualified prosthetic services and promote innovative amputation 
surgical techniques.   

One of our current roles is promoting the Ertl-Osteomyplastic 
Amputation Procedure for initial amputation and reconstruction. See 
more at <www.ertlreconstruction.com>  

Since 1995 our organization has provided funding thru sponsoring 
prosthetists to nearly 1000 amputees in 38 states and 9 foreign 
countries. Since March 2004 we have distributed over 800 videos (VHS 
and DVD) describing the Ertl procedure.  

Dr. Jan Ertl has offered to evaluate amputees with problem stumps to 
determine if they maybe candidates for the Ertl Procedure at the 
conference.      

This is our first appearance in Canada so please stop by our exhibit 
booth located just outside the exhibit hall at the Canadian 
Association of Prosthetists and Orthotists (CAPO) at the Crowne Plaza 
Hotel in Ottawa.  

Introduce yourself and learn more about the Barr Foundation and Ertl 
Procedure. We look forward to meeting our Canadian neighbors. Invite 
your surgeons, prosthetists, and fellow amputees to attend.
