Schaeffler Orthopedie

Schaeffler Orthopédie is an orthoprothesist company that designs and makes custom orthoses and prostheses, along with small orthopaedic appliances such as belts and compression garments. Orthoses support or correct posture after muscular, neurological or osteo-articular deficiency, and prostheses partially or fully replace a limb. Production uses CAD/CAM, digital milling, 3D printing and scanner-based impressions at its centre in Olivet.

Its customers are patients who need these devices. The products are subject to the French LPPR reimbursement list, and the company states that patients are covered at 100% by the statutory health insurance after prior authorisation, without supplementary insurance contribution and without additional charges. The company also provides mobile fitting services in hospitals and care centres.

The business dates to 1983, when it was established at Mareau-aux-Prés near Orléans, and the legal entity was founded in 2014. The company reports a team of 27 people and 1800 m² of premises, and describes itself as ISO-certified. Its headquarters is in Olivet.
