About Us

Invent Medical is the global leader in 3D printing for Orthotics and Prosthetics. Each year, we deliver tens of thousands of devices to over 800 clinics and hospitals across 40 countries.

Our mission is simple: Helping through innovation. We leverage cutting-edge technology to create the new generation of custom orthotic and prosthetic devices to improve patients’ lives. We are your trusted partner for the new era of O&P.

Our Story

Our journey began in 1991. The original company was founded by two brothers-in-law in their garage, starting as a central fabrication facility. A few years later, we opened our first patient care clinic.

We started with traditional methods - working with plaster and handcrafting each device. We have since evolved into a digital company. This transformation allows us to overcome the limitations of traditional fabrication, creating O&P devices that offer greater comfort, functionality, and improved patient compliance.”

One thing has never changed: our commitment to putting patients first. Although our tools have evolved, our dedication to each patient and their needs remains the same.

From serving patients in just one town, we now operate from offices in 3 countries, with fabrication centers in 8 countries, and serve customers across 5 continents.

We’ve reinvested all of our earnings back to development to continue leading the way in innovation. We take proud in being a fully independent, family-owned business.

Experienced O&P Team

We bring over 30 years of technical and clinical expertise in O&P. For decades, we’ve operated both a central fabrication center and a patient care facility. We’ve worked with plaster, CAD, carvings, and have been utilizing 3D printing and digital workflows since 2010.

Inspired by Patients

Each year, we treat thousands of patients at our own patient care facility in Europe. While we offer a wide range of custom O&P devices, we have a particular focus on lower limb prosthetics and pediatric patients, especially those with low and high muscle tone, cerebral palsy, and positional head shape deformities.

We originally developed all devices for our own patients, driven by the limitations we saw with traditional O&P devices. We wanted to offer more to patients we serve.

Constant Innovation

We believe in the power of continuous improvement and iterative development. For us, no product is ever truly “finished.”

Behind every product line is a dedicated, multidisciplinary team of innovators—CPOs, product designers, software developers, and mechanical engineers—working tirelessly to make our products better.

Each week, we make numerous behind-the-scenes updates that improve our processes and devices. These small but impactful changes ensure our products fit better, function more efficiently, and become more durable and comfortable over time.

Our team is committed to pushing boundaries and setting new standards, one step at a time. Every year, we invest millions into research and development to ensure we offer the best devices available for your patients.

Safe Innovation

It takes us an average of 5-10 years to develop a product line. Over that time, we design, test, and refine approximately 500-1,000 iterations of each device.

Every design undergoes rigorous testing, including cyclic and static mechanical tests, computational analysis, and patient trials at our care facilities. For example, our AFOs must endure 3 million cycles, and our prosthetic sockets withstand 500 kg / 1,100 lbs. of force. Once perfected, the devices are released to select customers for further testing before we officially launch them to the market.

We are ISO 13485 certified and adhere to strict design and fabrication processes, verification and validation methods, and quality control systems.

We offer a product-quality warranty on every device we fabricate, along with a risk-free, money-back guarantee and seamless implementation into your practice.

We Listen & Learn

We continually learn from our patients, partners, and customers. We listen and quickly implement feedback.

This commitment helps us ensure we always provide the best devices in the industry, backed by extensive warranty.
