Hi,
Members do not see these Ads. Sign Up.
I've recently started a private practice and am looking for a good supplier of high quality but reasonably priced custom made orthotics in the UK. So far I have tried Langer, the quality is good but can be a bit pricey once you start trying to add modifications. Does anyone have experience with any other good manufacturers?
Thanks!
Linda

Kind regards

Hi Linda
I personally use Steve Dowdeswell at Precision labs http://www.pmorthotics.com/ - inclusive prices with the most important bit - he is a podiatrist who can offer technical support and advice. This is really important in my opinion.

Thanks everyone,
I'll get to work on that list Craig!

Hi Linda.
Visit our site at www.epioneorthotics.co.uk.
Would be happy to supply you with a free pair of customs to trial?
PM me if you are interested.
Best Regards
Scott
Epione -
Scott - you made my list!!
If anyone can think of a lab not on my list, can you please let me know. -
Craig,
How could you forget the best lab in this universe, Dia-Foot.com! LOL
Steven -
Steven - thanks; added it to my list.
Not sure how I missed it as I have seen website before ---- maybe the emphasis on therapeutic shoes through me off it being a "lab"
CP -
Craig,
You are correct, the emphasis is on shoes for our USA Medicare diabetic shoe program although we have a very large lab to fabricate custom diabetic orthotics to fit into the shoes. We also mill out functional orthotics using the Oretek software which makes a great Kirby skive. Lastly, we manufacture EVA reinforced Polypro prefabricated orthotics and a huge assortment of foot pads. Podiatrists, Cpeds and Orthopedic surgeons are always asking me questions and Podiatry-arena helps me stay current. I should send you a check for this Ad!
For any labs owners reading this, the best top cover I have found is called the Topper, made by Valuefoams.com. I discovered their product at the PFA conference in Orlando last year and have been using it ever since. It is a 3mm thick high durable and high rebound Neoprene as SBR has been added to the neoprene. A special woven fabric is laminated to the material that greatly reduces shear. It's easy to grind and stretches well for application. I do not know if the company distributes outside of the USA but they should.

Hi Linda
I will forward a little information by the message system.
We are a quality bespoke provider of orthotics. As Phil kindly mentioned, the prices are inclusive and include FREE inbound postage and a standard 5 - 7 day turnaround. Whilst we are not generous enough to offer a sample pair free, we will remake and/or adjust the 1st 10 pairs FOC should you have difficulty. That service is a standard service.
Kindest Regards
Steven Dowdeswell

Craig,
Add Cadmed to your list. We are located in Sweden and specialized in EVA orthotics using mostly CAD/CAM. However, we do serve the British market with very high quality and competitive prices. Visit cadmed.se (Swedish only thus far) -
Hi all,
Thanks Craig, for us being on the list.
Linda I have messaged you directly.
Although we are relatively new we do have some very exciting products! -
Dear Linda,
Firefly are podiatry owned serving the podiatric profession in the UK, Ireland and Europe for 12+ years. Our focus is on providing custom made foot orthoses and ankle foot orthoses to treat complex pathologies of the foot and ankle. We would be happy to discuss your requirements. I suggest you get information from various labs that you believe can accommodate your requirements and then make an informed decision. There are various labs in the UK that provide custom made foot orthoses, technical and customer support.
Best wishes,
Martin

Foothealth UK in Banbury are reasonably priced.
Very good technical support.

Any others? -
I have used Langers for years.
Whilst they are expensive ( and getting more so!) they have never let me down, always available with advice should I ask for it, I find the quality is good.
In the end you ( and your Pts ) get what they pay for and I find my Pts want a product that is better and quicker than they can get in the NHS. -
I just edited the list to add another 14!
-
Just added 2 more - keep them coming!
-
G'Day Craig,
Here is another company to add to your list
Hereen P/L
Medical Grade Footwear, Orthotics, AFO's
The company has also developed a 3D Radial Arm Scanner From knee to toes. Manly used for the footwear industry but crosses over for podiatrist to scan feet orthotics
Don Scott -
I don't personally work directly with orthoses anymore but in the fairly recent past, I have used Firefly and always found their products to be of good quality. No idea on pricing but I work in an NHS hospital so I would imagine they must have been competitive. I found their staff to be very helpful and accommodating. If in the future I need orthoses for my patients in private practice, I wouldn't hesitate in going back to them.
Ryan -
Hi Craig, can you add ourselves to the list of Orthotics manufacturers, you've missed us off the list ;)

I know that this post is a couple of years old but I wanted to let people know. That I'm a lab manager at Allied OSI Labs and we would be happy to assist anyone with their orthotic needs. Please don't hesitate to contact Allied OSI Labs.

Have a look at Podfo, created using 3d design software and additive manufacturing to help increase patient use.
