Orthotics and external prosthetics

Content, catalog, and website for products that move from the healthcare professional who prescribes them to the technician who fits them and the person who ultimately uses them, with different information needed at each stage.

The product passes through several hands before it reaches the person who uses it.

Common situations for orthotics and external prosthetics companies

The wrong size.

If the manufacturer's measuring guide isn't at hand, whoever chooses the size may end up using a different guide, with different measurements.

The explanation that isn't repeated.

How to put on the orthosis is explained during the appointment. Without a published, validated guide, there's nowhere to review those instructions later.

The work order on paper.

If the form for a custom orthosis circulates as a PDF that each technician fills out differently, the data can arrive incomplete or in a different order.

The compatible adapter.

Adapter-to-foot compatibility is a relationship between components. If it isn't in the catalog, the answer depends on a product specialist.

FAQ

Should content for healthcare professionals be separated from patient content?

Yes. Healthcare professionals need technical data, while patients need clear instructions. Separating the two keeps each audience from landing on content that isn't meant for them.

Can the website show where measurements are taken?

Yes, with a list of centers or technicians that the company's team keeps up to date in the website admin.
