Quality certificatesAs a manufacturer of medical products, medi has a high awareness for quality. Product and system certificates prove that all legal requirements are met.
CE mark Our medi medical products meet all of the re quirements of the European Directive 93/42/EWG and of the German Medical Products Act. In accordance with regulations, our products are subject to the conformity assessment procedures and are granted the CE-mark. As a kind of "passport for industrial products", the CE mark guarantees free trade within the European Economic Area (EEA).
Textile Trust quality seal All orthopaedic supports and braces are regularly examined and rated according to strict standards by independent test centres for any toxic substances potentially damaging to human health. Granting of the Öko-Tex Standard 100 certificate guarantees : tested quality for the protection of your health.
DIN EN ISO 9001: 2000/DIN EN 13485 medi maintains the quality management system according to the DIN EN ISO 9001: 2000 and DIN EN 13485. Since 1996 we have demonstrated our ISO 9000 status to our customers with a certificate. Since then, medi has enhanced the opportunities offered by this standard to permanently improve products from the business units Phlebology, Orthotics, Prosthetics and Hospital in order to organise safer and more efficient processes and procedures. We define customer satisfac-tion as a decisive measure of quality.
Product innovation: evidence based evaluation Materials, techniques and requirements for orthopaedic braces and supports change over time. medi therefore has conducted long term, evidence based studies to establish innovative orthopaedic products, like Spinomed and Spinomed active, on the health care market. On this basis, medi offers new, effective solutions for the patients, creates new markets and sets standards for the future.

More than just a manufacturermedi produces medical aids for a variety of conditions and life situations. But we don’t see ourselves solely as a manufacturer. On the contrary, we handle our own research and development, technology, production, marketing and sales inhouse – always keeping our focus on the market, its demands and variables, and the medi vision.
Our range of products primarily includes medical compression stockings for people with vein disorders, lipoedema and lymphoedema, supports and braces for the conservative and postoperative treatment of orthopaedic injuries and disorders, stockings for the prevention of thrombosis, antiembolism stockings for use after vein surgery, compression garments for use after plastic and cosmetic surgery plus a variety of therapy-supporting products.
These products are used and distributed by medical supply stores, hospitals and clinics, doctors’ practices and therapists. In other words, specialists who know which users need which aids to improve their quality of life.
What we’re proud of and what makes our products so special is that they’re all completely free of negative side effects.
medi orthopaedics still concentrates on functional therapy for orthopaedics and sports medicine today. Aiding the preservation and restoration of the health of the complete locomotor apparatus through supports and ortheses. High-quality and innovative products coupled with comprehensive support. The focus is always on the patient. For this reason our research and development department also works closely with our partners in medicine and orthopaedics technology. State-of-the-art factories and a consistently applied qualitiy control system guarantee the high quality products.
From product development to therapeutic use – as the saying goes:
medi. I feel better.

functional therapyWithin the medical and healthcare industry times are changing and so are opinions. Patient care is now undoubtedly at the forefront of today’s medical and surgical treatments, with particular attention being paid to • prevention – as a best case scenario, • therapy – patient care with highest priority, • post-operative care – a necessary focus.
In this respect, ‘functional therapy’ focuses on the patient’s prompt return to ‘activity’ not only after trauma, but also in the case of degenerative diseases like osteoarthritis and osteoporosis.
‘functional therapy’ promotes freedom – the freedom to be active.medi orthopaedics has therefore developed an ‘intelligent’ functional therapy product range, designed to treat the deficiencies in our ‘locomotion system’ with specific emphasis being placed on joint function, treatment, protection and rehabilitation.
medi orthopaedics goal is to introduce and establish one further element to the surgical, physical, pharmaceutical and physiological therapies of modern day comprehensive medicine.
‘functional therapy’ with braces and supports provides one element of a successful, overall treatment and rehabilitation of patients. Comfort while wearing, ease of use and functionality decide the success.In close co-operation with doctors and orthopaedic technicians, medi orthopaedics has developed innovative products and product concepts, which – depending on the goal of the therapy – are effective in:
• supporting and improving mobility, • unloading damaged joint areas,• securing joint functions,• reassuring and activating the patient.

Product benefits and iconsmedi orthopaedics products offer features guaranteed to impress you and your customers.
medi compression - intelligent and effective productsmedi compression is the brand mark that makes medi products stand out. More than 60 years of German experience in design and research have been applied to bring you quality garments that are guaranteed to provide accurate graduated compression.
physioglide® hinge The mechanical movement of the physioglide hinge closely mimics the physiological role and glide motion of the knee joint. As the inner and outer discs glide over each other the physioglide hinge becomes longer during flexion and shorter during extension. This prevents the orthosis from slipping and improves the wearing comfort.
Airtex materialAn innovative, breathable, light and compressive material for comfortable activation of proprioception. It optimises moisture transport and ensures the highest comfort, even in hot climates.
medi airtex
Clima ComfortWith its new material composition, the sophisticated Clima Comfort fabric now creates an even more pleasant climate for the skin. Any moisture that emerges is quickly and reliably absorbed by the inner fabric and then transported to the outside where it evaporates. At the same time the breathable knit allows oxygen to reach the skin.
Clima Comfort
Comfort Zone
Comfort ZoneThe soft comfort zones in sensitive stretchable areas (e.g. Levamed) mean that a comfortable Āt is sustained throughout the day, even during sedentary activities, allowing discreet use under normal clothing and foot wear.
Clima FreshThe integrated Clima Fresh function kills germs and provides Ābre-deep hygienic conditions. A natural odour-free ambience is maintained and germs are kept out of the fabric.
Clima Fresh
Breathable knitted fabric The highly elastic, breathable fabric ensures high comfort, even in hot climates. The effective moisture transportation offers a feeling of well-being, especially when the material has to be worn for a long time.

Lumbamed® discLumbar support with adjustable stabilisation system
Indications• lumbago• degenerative changes of the facet joints• osteochondrosis• spondyloarthrosis• irritative conditions of the sacroiliac joints• low back pain with sciatica (degenerative
origin)• spondylosis without vertebral glide• minor spondylolysis, spondylolisthesis• intervertebral disc protrusion or disc
prolaps
Mode of action• relieves pressure on the affected spinal
segments by reducing muscle tone• flattens the lumbar lordosis
(bridging of the lumbar lordosis)• supports the abdominal area
(activates the abdominal muscles)• reduces pelvic anterior rotation• due to the modular design (back pad and
exchangeable stabilising rods with two different degrees of stiffness) the stability of the support can be adapted/reduced to suit the progressive course of recovery. The necessary activation of the trunk muscles prevents loss of muscle mass.

Mode of action• movement and guide orthosis for individual
early functional treatment• serves to immobilise the elbow joint by
fixation of areas of the upper and lower arm• movement is limited to 0°-120° in the joint,
to guarantee movement flexibility appropriate to the stage by early mobilisation – this enhances joint mobility and accelerates healing.
• as a result of the permitted and really fixed scope of movement, the muscle pump is activated, thus improving the drainage of blood and lymph
Features• pleasant to wear, even under clothing due to
flat QuickSet joint• the joint can be simply adjusted by pressing
a button• open and flat frame construction – total
weight of only 423 g• flexion / extension restricted to the range
0°-120° – adjustable in steps of 10°• padding is made of innovative foam and fits
tightly and reliably – the fluted surface slightly compresses the muscle receptors, stimulating metabolism and preventing muscle tension
• aluminium construction can be precisely shaped and adapted to the shape of any arm
• length of the hand cushion can be adjusted – the orthosis is securely attached to the arm

M.4® X-lock4-point hard-frame brace with extension / flexion limitation
Indications • Meniscus sutures – post-operative • Knee extensor tendon ruptures (patellar
tendon, quadriceps) – post-operative• Cartilage surgery in the area of the knee cap
and the trochlear groove• Restraint operations of the knee cap (e.g.
MPFL reconstruction) or patellar dislocations
• Meniscus sutures with ligamentous injuries (e.g. ruptures of the cruciate ligament)
• Conservative therapy of patellar dislocations
Mode of action• Reliable locking when fully extended. As a
result, axial loading is possible in the extended position
• The compression resulting from the pressure promotes the stability of the suture
• Due to the easy conversion during free movement, initial functional exercises are possible when the brace is not under a load
• Muscle atrophy is prevented
Product benefits
Reliable blocking when fully extended. The patient can move freely without walking aids.
Waterproof foam padding The brace can be worn even while showering.
No pressure on the surgical suture. The separated cushions can be positioned individually by the patient. This prevents pressure on the surgical suture.
Full extension lock modeUnlocked mode with a flexed leg not under a load
