Custom-made knee orthoses
Customer case: GTO Orthopédie
Their story
Post-operative rehabilitation is faster and more effective when patients wear orthotics tailored to their anatomy. That’s why GTO Orthopedie set out to develop knee orthoses that could be ready and fitted immediately after surgery, ensuring comfort and optimal recovery.
To make this vision a reality, GTO partnered with OrthoSolid to digitalize the entire process. By combining their clinical expertise with our experience in 3D design, materials, and 3D printing, we co-developed a workflow that delivers both precision and patient comfort. Starting from a 3D scan and functional specifications, we collaborated closely with GTO to refine every detail.
The project began with night braces, and after the success of these first designs, our collaboration has grown to include new brace types and patient-specific solutions.
Their benefits
Time efficiency
No more mould making. GTO now has more time to spend on other products and patient care, while we create the knee braces.
Consistent quality & patient comfort
Precise, patient focussed design from 3D scans ensures a orthoses that are more comfortable, perfectly adapted, and easier to wear consistently. Leading to faster, more effective rehabilitation.
Design flexibility
GTO keeps control over the shape and fit of the orthosis. In platform communication allows for quick adjustments and shorter feedback loops
“We called on OrthoSolid to assist us with the design and 3D customization of our knee braces. Their attentiveness, responsiveness, and quality of service have enabled us to establish a strong collaboration, which today helps us best meet our patients’ needs.”
- François Bor, GTO Orthopedie
Their custom workflow
They upload the 3D into the OrthoSolid platform and provide a clinical description of the product. Toghether with a drawing of the kneebrace, they specify the functional requierments and the type of hinge.
We translate their inputs into a digital model. With their feedback, we refine every detail before production. Through this iterative process, we ensure a perfect fit, optimal comfort, and consistent quality.
We produce knee braces using an FDM printer with filament verified in collaboration with GTO. After printing, we create a custom lining and attach the hinge. The finished product is delivered within 5–10 working days, with progress trackable through our platform.
Custom products for your specific cases
Fully integrated into our platform, the Custom product workflow is designed for cases that go beyond our Core products. Starting from the product description, our team creates a tailored design, refined through your feedback and iterations until it meets all functional and clinical requirements. Throughout the process, you continue to benefit from all OrthoSolid advantages.
