MINEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA June 19th, 2001 -
Otto Bock Health Care is pleased to announce exciting new frame colors and fabrics for their popular Lisa I and Lisa II pediatric postural mobility systems, as well as great new frame colors for the Bugsy pediatric postural walker.


The Lisa I will replace its present frame colors with two new options: a Saturn Blue Metallic frame with blue nylon, and a Shimano Grey frame with orange nylon. Padded upholstery of Indio Blue and Country Grey will be offered to complement these frame colors.


The Lisa II will phase out its black frame with turquoise nylon in favor of Saturn Blue Metallic with blue nylon, with padded upholstery of Indio Blue. The Bugsy, will be available in Signal Red as well as Saturn Blue Metallic.

These new colors and fabrics will be available as of July 15, 2001, and will replace all colors and fabrics currently being offered.
