Momentum to Prevent Avoidable Amputations Builds as New Horizon Medical Solutions and The Save a Leg, Save a Life Foundation Begin New Partnership

The Save a Leg, Save a Life Foundation Welcomes New Horizon Medical Solutions as a Strategic Sponsor, Bringing Advanced Technology and Clinical Expertise to the Front Lines of Limb Preservation

LAS VEGAS, NV, February 25, 2026 /24-7PressRelease/ -- At a time when non-traumatic amputations continue to impact hundreds of thousands of Americans each year - many of them preventable - The Save a Leg, Save a Life Foundation (SALSAL) is spearheading a national movement to change outcomes, save limbs, and preserve lives. Today, SALSAL announces an important new partnership with New Horizon Medical Solutions (NHMS), whose sponsorship and clinical engagement mark a significant step forward in community-based prevention and education.

This collaboration will debut at SALSAL's (www.thesalsal.org) upcoming screening event, where NHMS (www.nhmedical.com) will introduce the exclusive KENT SNAPSHOT device, an innovative technology designed to enhance early detection and treatment of chronic wounds one of the leading causes of limb loss.

The urgency of SALSAL's mission cannot be overstated. Every year, more than 150,000 Americans undergo preventable amputations, often due to untreated wounds, diabetes-related complications, and lack of access to early intervention. They are working to disrupt this cycle through grassroots screenings, clinician education, and community outreach meeting patients where they are before it's too late.

For NHMS, this partnership reflects a deeper commitment to community-driven impact.

In addition to providing cutting-edge technology, NHMS's Medical Director, Dr. Tharesh Udupa, will volunteer his time and expertise to provide consultations, as well as education for students and medical residents participating in the initiative thus strengthening the next generation of clinicians on the front lines of limb preservation.

This partnership represents more than sponsorship it signals a growing national alignment between clinical innovation and community action. By combining advanced medical technology, expert-led education, and on-the-ground outreach, SALSAL and New Horizon Medical Solutions are creating a scalable model for reducing preventable amputations across the country.

"At New Horizon Medical Solutions, we believe that true innovation extends beyond technology and lives in the communities we serve," said Will Hall, CEO of New Horizon Medical Solutions. "Supporting organizations like The Save a Leg, Save a Life Foundation allows us to help build stronger healthcare foundations at the grassroots level. Every step we take to support nonprofits like SALSAL pushes forward meaningful change bringing better care, education, and ultimately improving outcomes to those who need it most."

"Excited to participate in this local area diabetic foot screening. I believe giving back to the community helps strengthen the ties that the healthcare community can give to the local residents. I will also have new imaging technology to showcase for potential screenees to determine the health of their feet," said Dr.Tharesh Udupa, DPM, FAPWHc, FAPWCA New Horizons Medical Solutions Medical Director

"As President-Elect of The Save a Leg, Save a Life Foundation, I am thrilled to welcome New Horizon Medical Solutions as a valued sponsor of our mission.
