Specialmade products - Everything is possible

As an occupational therapist you are often faced with a problem, where you simply want to give up. You have tried all rehab products available, but sometimes none of them can solve your problem. ~ Anne Mette Lauridsen, Ergoterapeut All people are different, and their needs are different too. There are thousands of elderly and disabled citizens, who are using standard rehab products on a daily basis. But there is still a small group of users with special needs. Needs that can not be fulfilled by using standard products. In order to help this particular group of users, we offer our customers special...

The process of making a special product. A therapist has a problem that cannot be solved with a standard product. The therapist calls one of our consultants. Therapist and consultant have a meeting together with the user. Different products are being tried out and possible solutions are being discussed. A special made products scheme is being made, describing the task at hand. The scheme takes special risks in consideration. According to EU regulations all special made products must have such a scheme. In the scheme there is also a specific offer for the product and expected delivery time. After...

Consultant and production worker develops the product to fit the user. All products are made from scracth and therefore the product can be customized 100 % to the end user. If the seat is to be changed we can make this from scratch too. The net-veawe backrest can also be changed. The back can be made wider, smaller, deeper, higher, lower or made in a different material. Consultant and therapist meet at the user for a test of the chair. This is to see if the chair fits the user or changes need to be made.

After the test it is still possible to make minor changes before the product is fully welded. After the product is approved by the therapist and user it is sent to the painter. Here it will get a strong layer of lacquer which will make the product last for many years. The finished product is ready for delivery and hopefully it will please the user and therapist for years.
