ORTHOSCOOT GmbH

ORTHOSCOOT GmbH manufactures and distributes the ORTHOSCOOT®, an orthopedic knee scooter (three-wheeled mobility device) designed for patients with foot and ankle injuries or post-operative conditions requiring non-weight-bearing or partial weight-bearing rehabilitation. The device is classified as a medical device under EU MDR 2017/745 and is registered in the German statutory health insurance auxiliaries catalog (Hilfsmittelnummer 22.50.02.0001), enabling reimbursement by all German statutory health insurance schemes. The ORTHOSCOOT® features an ergonomic knee rest with stepless angle adjustment, hands-free operation, and is TÜV-certified per DIN ISO 11199-2 and EN-12182 standards. The company operates a circular economy rental model: patients receive the device via physician prescription, use it during their recovery phase, and return it through authorized medical supply dealers or parcel services for reuse. ORTHOSCOOT serves three customer segments: patients (direct rental or through medical supply dealers), physicians and clinics (for inpatient and outpatient post-operative care), and specialized medical supply retailers (Sanitätsfachhandel) who dispense and manage the device under MDR 2017/745 compliance frameworks. The company is based in Neusäß, Germany, and is a member of BVMed (German Medical Technology Association) and BVMW (German SME Federation). Scientific evidence supports improved mobility and burden reduction compared to crutches or wheelchairs, particularly for active patients and those with upper-extremity comorbidities.
