The success story of Otto Bock HealthCare is inseparately connected to the materials product segment. Innovative materials have always played a central role for contemporary fittings of people with physical limitations. The development and manufacturing of medical-technical products, too, still live on the capability to process, combine and refine the most diverse materials such as wood, metal, textiles, and leather.
New plastic materials, as well as titanium and carbon fibers have been added. The field of electronics additionally enlarges the range of possibilities, from myo-electrically controlled hand prostheses up to microelectronics for the C-Leg® prosthesis system. When we are speaking of high-tech products, we always also include craftsmanship in this term, which is needed, for example, for the fabrication of prosthetic sockets or orthotic components of different materials.
Modern and contemporary materials therefore represent a decisive column for each high-quality fitting and thus form the basis for the economic success of your orthopedic workshop.
