Stay safely mobile -
despite foot injury

More mobility for a better quality of life.
Manager with ORTHOSCOOT at the desk
You have injured your foot or ankle and are not allowed to put weight on it for a while?

It is not easy to really "immobilize" an acutely injured foot and at the same time remain mobile. Everyday things become a challenge. The constant walking with crutches requires strength and skill. Incorrect positioning or incorrect weight bearing can often lead to further visits to the doctor, post-operative care or prolonged incapacity to work.

Therefore ORTHOSCOOT®

  • Safe locomotion without the help of others to maintain your ability to get around
  • Safely guided relief and gentle positioning of the foot
  • Active use mobilizes
  • Relief for back muscles, shoulders and wrists
  • Freedom of movement of the hands
  • TÜV-tested according to DIN ISO 11199-2 and EN-12182
  • Sustainable, safe and chic

Patient reports
Marco H.
32 years old
After my foot surgery, I was very quickly mobile again in the house and my injured foot safely relieved. Thanks to the transport compartment, I was also able to use it to carry small items so that I could look after myself, which would otherwise not be possible as I can't carry anything. The ORTHOSCOOT® was a lifesaver for my everyday life!

Patient reports
Dr. Christiane S.
Independent orthodontist
I was independently mobile again after the surgery and could work in my practice as if nothing had happened. I felt very safe on the ORTHOSCOOT®. If I had moved around with crutches during convalescence, I would have had to close my practice.

The ORTHOSCOOT®

The medical device ORTHOSCOOT® is an orthopaedic scooter (also known as a knee scooter) for patients with foot and ankle injuries. It enables safe locomotion with little effort, without having to rely on outside help. The injured leg is protected by the safely guided relief and ideal positioning in the ergonomic knee support, while the patient's ability to get around is ensured.

How to provide your patients with up-to-date care
Safely guided unloading preserves your surgical outcome while your patients gain ambulation.
Patient at Orthoscoot in the clinic

With the ORTHOSCOOT® you can raise postoperative care for patients with foot and ankle injuries to a new level and at the same time close a gap in care.

In pre- and post-operative medical use, after an accident or after an operation on the foot and ankle, the advantages of the ORTHOSCOOT® are significant. Leading practices and clinics in Germany as well as in other European countries use the ORTHOSCOOT® both inpatient, interdisciplinary, for patient care (home care).

The advantages for you

  • They support your discharge management and increase your efficiency in the day-to-day running of your clinic / practice.
  • The ORTHOSCOOT® is medically useful and enables safe mobility and independence.
  • Patients mobilize on their own.
  • They ensure optimized workflows, while your patients, including inpatients, feel comfortable "at eye level".
ORTHOSCOOT® Example regulation

­­Der ORTHOSCOOT® kann ab sofort mit der Hilfsmittelnummer 22.50.02.0001 verordnet werden und wird als Medizinprodukt nach den Richtlinien der MDR 2017/745 ausschließlich über den qualifizierten Sanitätsfachhandel in Verkehr gebracht. Der Fachhandel hat die Möglichkeit das Hilfsmittel lokal zu bevorraten.
Wichtig ist die Zweckbestimmung des ORTHOSCOOT® zu beachten, um die Erstattung zu realisieren: Der ORTHOSCOOT® ermöglicht dem Benutzer eine sichere Fortbewegung sowohl im häuslichen Bereich als auch im Nahbereich der Wohnung, wenn ihm diese mit anderen Hilfsmitteln allein, wie z. B. Gehstock oder Unterarmgehstützen, nicht oder nur stark eingeschränkt möglich ist.

"The ORTHOSCOOT® is an innovative medical device that allows patients to participate significantly more actively in diseases and after operations in the area of the foot and ankle. The effective relief ensures the preservation of mobility. Due to the reduced restrictions in everyday life and increased independence compared to mobilization on crutches or in a wheelchair, the ORTHOSCOOT® has a not to be underestimated effect on the psychological condition in addition to the positive influence on the physical healing process."

Dr. Charlotte Hase

"This ORTHOSCOOT is an important aid for ensuring the success of the operation, if within the framework of post-operative treatment after complex foot operations, loading of the operated foot is initially not permitted at all, and later partially permitted. Due to overload-related, degenerative or post-traumatic pain in the shoulders, elbows or hands, the use of crutches or a wheelchair is not possible for some patients. This is especially true for patients with rheumatoid polyarthritis".

Dr. Martinus Richter

Prof. Dr. Martinus Richter

Clinic for Foot and Ankle Surgery Rummelsberg, Schwarzenbruck

"By using theORTHOSCOOT , the limitations of the discharge phase postoperatively are much less. Younger and active patients in particular are ORTHOSCOOT much more mobile with the significantly reduced strain on the operated area and can still consistently maintain the partial load on the operated area. In the meantime, we have also started to make it ORTHOSCOOT accessible to older patients, who also benefit significantly and are more mobile after a shorter familiarization period.

"A high level of patient satisfaction is just as much a part of a successful treatment as the rapid restoration of a patient's independence after his therapy or operation. With the help of the ergonomically shaped positioning shell for the knee, the ORTHOSCOOT® enables patients to move safely while at the same time relieving the diseased extremity. This leaves the patient's hands free for other activities. Not least for patients with shoulder and foot diseases, the ORTHOSCOOT® offers a great progress by relieving the shoulders. The rapid regaining of mobility helps to shorten periods of incapacity to work".

Dr. Markus Walther

Prof. Dr. med. Markus Walther

Schön Klinik, Munich Harlaching

"It ORTHOSCOOT is a suitable aid for the mobilisation of patients after operations and injuries to the foot and ankle. Active people in particular benefit from the better mobility options compared to a wheelchair. We appreciate it ORTHOSCOOTbecause it promotes the independence and mobility of patients and can help them to survive longer periods of relief.

The circular economy

The global economy is now only 7.2% circular, due to an increase in material extraction and use. The share of the circular economy has decreased from 9.1% in 2018 to 8.6% in 2020 to now 7.2% in 2023. This large difference between theory and practice means that more than 90% of materials are either lost or cannot be reused. (Source: The Circularity Gap Report 2023)

The healthcare industry is one of the most resource-intensive sectors in the world and there are numerous opportunities to reduce our environmental footprint. The circular economy in particular has an enormous impact here and can help minimize the ecological footprint in Germany.

Durch die Aufbereitung und Wiederverwendung von medizinischen Geräten, Instrumenten und Hilfsmitteln kann die Lebensdauer der Produkte um ein vielfaches verlängert werden. Eine nachhaltige Entwicklung und Arbeitsweise bereits bei der Entwicklung solcher Produkte ist hierbei von großer Bedeutung und kann dazu beitragen, die Abfallproduktion drastisch zu reduzieren.

ORTHOSCOOT setzt von Beginn auf die Vermietung und anschließender Aufbereitung der orthopädischen Roller. Zusammen mit den lokalen Sanitätshäusern und Leistungserbringern bilden wir die Kreislaufwirtschaft, gelöst von Lieferketten, von und für Deutschland ab.

Seit 2021 agieren wir zu 100% klimaneutral um unseren Werten gerecht zu werden. Das Ziel ist es 2025 das Unternehmen klimapositiv darzustellen.

The reprocessing and reuse of medical equipment, instruments and aids can extend the service life of the products many times over. Sustainable development and operation already during the development of such products is of great importance here and can help to drastically reduce waste production.

ORTHOSCOOT focuses on the rental and subsequent reprocessing of orthopedic scooters from the very beginning. Together with local medical supply stores and service providers, we map the circular economy, solved by supply chains, from and for Germany.
