Functional Restorations

What Functional Restorations does

Functional Restorations LLC, founded in 2017 and headquartered in Durham, North Carolina, is a custom prosthetics provider serving individuals with anatomical loss of the hands, feet, breast, and face. The company is co-owned by David Robinson (CCA, C.Ped) and Jennifer Latham Robinson (CFm), combining clinical prosthetics credentials with certified mastectomy fitting expertise under one operating roof. Its work spans highly customized devices that blend medical function with cosmetic realism, addressing a patient population that is largely served through insurance reimbursement rather than discretionary consumer spending.

The firm's core technology stack combines multi-durometer silicone fabrication with digital scanning and 3D printing, including pre-surgery digital scanning for breast prostheses that captures patient anatomy prior to surgical procedures. Its product architecture is organized into a three-tier realism strategy — Functional, Basic, and High Realism — segmenting offerings by aesthetic fidelity and price point. Beyond direct clinical work, the firm operates a CFAB (Central Fabrication) division that fabricates devices on behalf of prosthetists nationwide, effectively turning internal know-how into a B2B channel. Partnerships with Naked Prosthetics and Bio-Tech Prosthetics & Orthotics extend the device portfolio, and a collaboration with TLC Body Parts positions the firm as a supplier to media and production buyers requiring realistic prosthetic pieces.

Functional Restorations generates revenue primarily through direct billing to patients and institutional payors — Medicare, the Veterans Affairs, and Workers' Compensation — alongside B2B fabrication revenue from prosthetists accessed through the CFAB channel. Unit economics are driven by device complexity, materials, and artisan labor rather than software-style volume scaling, and there is no disclosed outside funding, headcount, or revenue base, indicating a small, owner-operated operating profile. The strategic posture evident in the 2023 move set suggests a deliberate shift from a purely local clinical practice toward a hybrid clinical-plus-fabrication operation with national reach.
