Indes Medical, S.L. (Spain)
Who are we as a company?
Since 2010, INDESmed has been developing and producing technologically advanced orthopaedic aids of the highest quality and attractive design that enable users to remain active and maintain their quality of life. In 2008, Rafael Vidal survived the Spanair plane crash in Madrid. During his recovery, he had to use crutches, realizing the great need for improvement in this market. An engineer by profession, a non-conformist by vocation, with his team he developed a range of mobility products of unique quality, comfortable and visually appealing. The lightest forearm crutches and canes in the world, which prevent tendinitis and other pains associated with the use of conventional crutches; ultra-light frames and highly manoeuvrable rollators, as well as the only Walker Boot that is adjustable in height and from size 37 to 46; these are all innovations made in Spain that illustrate the revolution carried out by INDESmed in the field of orthopaedics.

At OT-World, we hope to find the professional who is looking for an innovative and high-quality product, a product that will improve the lives of their customers. We are looking for reliable and long-term partners at home and abroad with whom we can work together to bring our product closer to the user.” - Gisela Kuhfuß, Indes Medical, S.L.
Metacarpal (United Kingdom)
Who are we as a company?
Metacarpal is a start-up company out of Scotland, UK, that is combining the best of mechanical or body-powered hand prosthetics - speed, strength, durability and intuitive control - with the best of bionics - multi-articulated and aesthetically-pleasing. This is a brand new category of prosthetic hand, acknowledging that bionics may not always be the answer, but that body-powered hooks look primitive while simple single action hands should require much less force to just open and close. Metacarpal is interested in patient outcomes, not technology for technology's sake and is genuinely designing this product - with more to come - with the user as its focus. The hand is fully multi-articulating, conforming to any shaped object it grasps despite being operated by a single cable as normal with body-powered devices. Come see us in Hall 3, at Stand Number E20.
Why are we looking forward to OTWorld 2024?
"This is Metacarpal's chance to showcase four and a half years' of hard work, as a start-up with a brand new product in a brand new category - a multi-articulating mechanical or body-powered prosthetic hand. OT-World is the biggest O & P trade show in the world and we want to use this platform to put Metacarpal in the forefront of professionals' and users' minds from across the globe as well as to get even more feedback that will allow us to further improve the product. We are very excited to be exhibiting!" - Matthew Parkinson, Metacarpal
MYOMO (Germany)
Who are we as a company?
Myomo Europe GmbH is a medical robotics company that provides enhanced functionality for people with neurological conditions and upper limb paralysis. The company is headquartered in Boston, Massachusetts and has its European office in Göttingen, Germany.
As the first myoelectric orthosis for arm and hand available on the German market, the MyoPro® helps patients with paralysis or functional impairment to regain their ambidexterity and compensate for the existing disability as far as possible. Thanks to specially developed EMG electrodes, powerful motors and intuitive control software, the orthosis restores movement to paralyzed upper extremities and enables the hand to grasp, hold and open as well as lift and extend the elbow. The technology is used for patients with loss of function in the arm and hand as a result of a stroke, brachial plexus injury or other neurological causes. The orthosis system can also be used for spasticity.
Why are we looking forward to OTWorld 2024?
"Orthopaedic technology from all over the world comes together at OT World - for me, it's like a big class reunion every time. It gives us the opportunity to demonstrate our MyoPro myoelectric orthosis live, hold discussions, maintain business relationships and make new contacts. In addition, we can bring many experts and interested people in touch with our technology in just a few days.“ - John Frijters, Myomo Europe GmbH

Prensilia (Italy)
Who are we as a company?
Prensilia is a spin-off company of the Scuola Superiore Sant'Anna of Pisa. We develop robotic hands for several fields. We are active in the O&P industry, as we develop Mia Hand. The device is unique as it is the perfect balance between function and ease of control. It allows to perform three main grasps (cylindrical, pinch, lateral) and two gestures (pointing up, pointing down), covering the movements used in 80% of the activities of daily living. It can be controlled by a commonly-available and intuitive two-channel EMG controller. Additionally, the device is the first fully-customizeable multi-articulated hand prosthesis on the market. Rather than hiding her disability with a cosmetic glove, the hand prosthesis offers the users the possibility to express themselves through the device. It is indeed possible to customize colour and texture of the external components, such as the glove, fingers and covers.
Why are we looking forward to OTWorld 2024?
"OT World is a great event, the perfect spot to showcase our new devices. We will be attending the fair to present Mia Hand, a novel multi-articulated myoelectric hand prosthesis. We would love to exploit the event to get in contact with future collaborators that will support the presence of Mia Hand in the European market." - Francesco Clemente, Prensilia

STIL B.V . (Netherlands)
Who are we as a company?
A tremor is an involuntary vibration of a body part, which is commonly seen with Parkinson’s disease or essential tremor. Around 30 million people worldwide struggle their tremors on a daily basis,limiting daily tasks such as eating, drinking and writing. Current treatment options, such as medication or surgical interventions, are often not sufficient.
STIL developed the world first clinically proven anti-tremor orthosis. The device stabilizes the arm of tremor patients in a fully mechanical way, by adding artificial dampening to the joints of the forearm. The STIL Orthosis limits fast movement, such as tremor,but still allows all freedom of motion.
After 6 years of development, the device was launched in the Netherlands last year. At OTWorld, we hope to find collaborators for our international expansion.
Why are we looking forward to OTWorld 2024?
"It will be the first time for STIL to attend OTWorld, and we are really looking forward to engage with experts in the field." - IJsbrand de Lange, STIL B.V.
