Kugathas Kugannath

Orthotic Technician with a strong background in orthotic manufacturing across hospital, rehabilitation and commercial settings in Sri Lanka and the UK. During the past year, I have worked in the UK with Foot Health UK Ltd, manufacturing custom foot orthoses, footwear modifications and 3D-printed orthoses. I have practical workshop experience producing orthoses from clinical prescriptions using CNC milling machines, vacuum formers, grinders and other manufacturing equipment.

I take pride in producing accurate, well-finished devices and enjoy working as part of a team to deliver high-quality orthotic solutions.
