Are you looking for a bandage that really works? One that’s as thin and light as possible but fully functioning to improve your situation and capabilities?

For some, the goal is to achieve top athletic performance, for others, it’s simply to be able to climb stairs pain-free again. Whatever your goal may be, we will fit you with the most suitable medical aid. In general, the main function of the bandages we supply lies in their compression effect, which is achieved through a combination of design features. If you still have doubts about the benefits of bandages and how they can help you, please call in to one of our stores and we will gladly advise you without any obligation.

Some examples of bandages available in our branches:

ankle bandages
knee bandages
back bandages
hip bandages
shoulder bandages
elbow bandages
wrist wraps
waist bands

The custom manufacture of the most diverse orthopaedic insoles for your feet is certainly one of the focal points of our craftsmanship. We have a wide range of possibilities when it comes to the supply of these small miracle cures. Even the most classic variants of insoles with a primarily mechanical mode of action can be manufactured in different innovative ways. Precision in the manufacturing process has absolute priority and your specific needs are the key focus.

Numerous parameters need to be considered to achieve the best possible result and we will define these criteria together with you in advance. How much space do we have in your shoes? How sensitive are your feet? To what extent do we want to influence your statics? Questions upon questions for which there is only one answer: the perfect solution. The manufacture of insoles requires a great deal of theoretical knowledge combined with the highest quality of material and craftmanship to produce a product that can be perfectly integrated into your everyday life. We will accompany the hand over process and check with you when you try them on, to ensure you are completely satisfied.

Examples of our insoles range:

soft padding insoles
heel spur insoles
corrective insoles
sports insoles
shell liners
childrens insoles
sensorimotor insoles
neurophysiological insoles
high heels insoles

Sensorimotor or proprioception refers to the interaction between sensory and motor performance to enable the direct control and management of our movement based on sensory feedback. All well and good, but what has this to do with insoles?

A great deal! So much, that it is hardly possible to give you a complete understanding of the mechanism in a few short sentences. Roughly speaking, we set pressure points on the insole in such a way that your whole musculoskeletal system benefits from it. Our experienced professionals are happy to fully explain the theoretical background to you at our branches.

Finding insoles for elegant high-heeled shoes used to be a very difficult, if not impossible, task. Either you wore flat shoes with support, or high heels without, were often the only two alternatives. The latter often takes priority and our feet suffer as a result.

We finally have the most elegant solution for you! With our innovative high-heeled insoles to support you, you don’t need to compromise. The ultra-thin base with integrated splay foot pad relieves the forefoot area of pressure, which is particularly intensive in heeled shoes. The insoles are practically invisible, even in open-toe shoes, due to the subtle colour and delicate manufacture.

In our branches, we check the positioning of the pad and the fit in your shoe, to ensure optimal comfort. Talk to us, we are happy to advise you.

It's truly amazing how much potential there is in such a simple word. Orthoses cover a wide range of possibilities that we would like to bring you closer to. The position you find yourself in when you need an orthosis, can be as different as the device itself. Depending on whether you are receiving a short-term therapy for an ankle injury or whether you need permanent support for the spine, there are many different options for you. Of course, we know and understand very well that you often find it difficult to see anything positive in your situation, but that is precisely our motivation to do everything we can to provide you with the best possible option. We offer you high-quality manufactured products in the most modern designs with outstanding functionality and yet are easy to handle. Of course it goes without saying, we are there for you until the end of your therapy and also very happy to be beyond that.

Examples of our orthoses range:

ankle orthoses
hallux valgus orthoses
knee braces
back braces
osteoporosis orthoses
walker
thumb braces
wrist orthoses
elbow braces
shoulder orthoses
cervical orthoses

It is our job to provide your child with the best and most suitable medical aid should they need one. The correct selection and adjustment of the product is particularly relevant for young people who are still growing. We are very happy to take on this responsibility. Even the best aid has to be accepted by your child, which is why a cautious, child-friendly approach is priority for our experienced team.

We would be happy to make the process a little easier for you and your child by using colourful, child-friendly medical aids. In this way, together we can bring your loved one closer to care in a playful way. Most of our children’s range are readily available which ensures your child has the most suitable solution quickly. Should we not have a product in stock, will can source it promptly.

In the area of orthopaedic shoe technology, we offer you individual professional solutions for custom-made orthopaedic shoes, shoe adjustments and diabetic insoles. Our orthopaedic shoe specialists are qualified to Masters level and are ready, together with their team, to advise and support you in this hugely significant area.

Orthopaedic shoe technology provides a further key option to customise the right therapy for you. Shoe adjustments carried out are invisible for the most part but are highly effective, especially when combined with the use of insoles. Custom made orthopaedic shoes compensate for serious mobility restrictions. We ensure that the complex requirements of patients with diabetic foot syndrome are met by applying the most modern pressure measurement systems and materials.

The individual manufacture of orthopaedic shoes can hugely compensate for serious mobility restrictions caused by the shape and functional deficits of the feet. Our orthopaedic shoe technicians, who are qualified to Masters level, analyse the challenging medical history they are presented with to determine the correct design criteria for the shoes and their bedding. The elaborate manufacture carried out afterwards, takes place for the most part in our own fully equipped workshops by our highly skilled orthopaedic shoe specialists.

Often special requirements and sizes cannot be met by the ready-made aids available. If the ready-made aids do not achieve the required fit and function for you, we specialise in custom-making numerous products according to your specific requirements.

The custom manufacture of insoles has proven so successful that it is has evolved as standard in its own right. In the same way, products in other areas specially designed for you are indispensable and necessary. In some cases, a special fit or therapy may require a more expensive custom-made solution to achieve the therapy goals. In these cases, the statutory health insurance companies usually cover the costs incurred. Over the years, we have continuously invested in our workshop equipment so that we are in the fortunate position of being able to produce a wide range of custom-made orthoses for you. Our specialist staff are happy to provide you with detailed information about all possibilities and special criteria for custom-made fittings.

Corsage

Scoliosis braces

Product overview

Idiopathic scoliosis is not just a theoretically complex topic. While physiotherapy exercises are usually sufficient in the case of mild symptoms, those affected with a stronger curvature of the spine are faced with a more complex therapy which usually includes a corset fitting.

Definition of scoliosis: growth deformity of the spine with fixed lateral deflection, torsion of the vertebrae and rotation of the axis organ.

* In the case of privately insured persons, the insured person is usually responsible for clarifying the costs. We would be happy to provide you with a cost estimate.

In our branches we offer you a comprehensive range of small medical aids to support your therapy. Even without an existing therapy, you will find products in our branches that will help you strengthen your health and even avoid an extensive treatment. Our products in this area range from the small, handheld devices you can carry around in your pocket – to the oversized gymnastics ball.

Even if you are just looking for a product to make your life a little easier, you will find what you are looking for with us. For example, you can look forward to a variety of self-care products and ones which facilitate the handling of your orthopaedic aids, as well as fully automatic blood pressure monitors to conveniently monitor your overall well-being.

EMS-/TENS therapy

Breast prostheses

Insole pressure measurement

Product overview

Women who have had a mastectomy are often under a great deal of psychological and physical stress. That is why it is particularly important to us not only to provide those affected with the best possible professional care, but also to ensure that they are treated with respect and sensitivity in a discreet environment.

We can never replace your natural breast in this way, but we ensure that the procedure remains invisible to third parties. No concealing clothing is necessary for this, because the prostheses can be worn in fashionably elegant underwear in an inconspicuous manner. We also offer you a fashionable selection of bras, including large sizes and support bras that can be worn with or without prostheses. Your self-confidence and well-being are important to us.

Let our specially trained staff advise you without obligation in a safe atmosphere.

Where do you feel pressure? If only this question could be easily answered, we could find the best solution for you much faster. In order to analyse the pressure distribution when you walk or run, we have acquired a modern, top of the range, pressure measurement system. This system allows us to answer the above question with extreme precision.

Typically, this pressure measurement analysis is carried out when treating diabetic foot syndrome patients in order to be able to document successful pressure distribution. However, this system can also be used actively to analyse the actual condition of any patient in order to plan the best possible care with insoles and other medical aids.

There can be many different reasons for applying pressure to an area of the body in a focused and safe way. Long flights and high-performance sports tend to be the more pleasant of occasions. Often, typical uses for compression are for people who suffer from venous problems, varicose veins, swelling, lymphatic or lipoedema. Our professional team can offer each of these patients the best possible care thanks to our selection of high-quality compression stockings, which can be custom-made if required.

We have at least one certified specialist for flat knit supplies in each of our branches who is looking forward to going through your options with you.

Flat-knit

Circular knit

Travel stockings

Product overview

Individual flat-knit compression stockings are primarily used for the effective treatment of lymph or lipoedema. The unique manufacturing process opens up possibilities that go far beyond the spectrum of normal circular knitted products.

Put simply, these stockings are less stretchy, so they offer greater resistance to congestion and the associated swelling. In addition, due to the special knitting technique, many individual design criteria can be selected. The high complexity of the supply requires careful planning and action by highly trained specialists. We offer you this know-how and we look forward to sharing it with you.

* In the case of privately insured persons, the insured person is usually responsible for clarifying the costs. We would be happy to provide you with a cost estimate.

Medical compression stockings have one thing in common; they use external pressure to support the venous valves and improve blood flow. They must feel a little tight to be effective, but the times of thick and unattractive compression stockings are gone. On request, we can provide you with such fine material and quality that, even at second glance, it can hardly be distinguished from stockings available on the high street. There are also stockings for men that are completely inconspicuous in terms of structure and colour. We would be happy to advise you.

Long flights in a sitting position is a great example of where wearing these stockings make perfect sense. You can tell by the name. However, there are numerous other circumstances, such as prolonged sitting at work or standing largely motionless, in which these stockings come in very useful. They compress the lower legs and thus increase the draining effect, which would be small without consistent movement. Congestion can thus be reduced. However, this treatment is only the treatment of choice for people who otherwise have a “healthy circulation”.

Lower leg prosthesis w. liner

Thigh prosthesis w. flexible shaft

Product overview

The prosthesis is based on a modular design to mimic the mobility and functionality of the leg. The construction is flexible so that the individual components, such as the prosthetic foot, can be perfectly matched to the wearer. The liner is used to connect the residual limb to the socket of the prosthesis. The connection mechanism between the residual limb, liner and prosthesis can vary.

In the case of a cushion system, attachment to the fixed prosthesis shaft is achieved via a knee cap or, in the case of a distal closure, using the connecting pin.

The socket of the thigh prosthesis consists of a flexible inner socket and a hard, load-bearing outer socket, so that large areas of the residual limb are not so constricted. The flexible material adapts to the changed shape of the muscles. The connection between the residual limb and the socket is made via vacuum, with a valve or distal closure with a pin. As with the lower leg prosthesis, the thigh prosthesis also has a modular structure here.

Thus, the foot and the knee joint can be easily exchanged.
