英文原文：An Icelandic SME, producer of prosthetic and orthopaedic aids, has developed a unique technique and process for initial diagnosis of a client/patient in need of an ankle brace. The technical specifications obtained from the diagnosis can be used in making the ankle brace. This procedure simplifies greatly the production cycle, resulting in a high margin product in a very stable market. The company is looking for a joint venture or a commercial agreement with technological assistance. The current diagnosis and manufacturing process of prosthetics is a conservative business, based on craftsmanship. The diagnosis is individual and depends on the needs of the client seeking prosthetist and/or orthotists. The specialist meets with the client, does his analysis and builds a prototype. The client revisits the expert, usually several times, who makes adjustments etc. Finally, after a number of visits and try-outs, the ankle brace is ready for use. The new procedure is based on a diagnosis kit that has been developed by qualified orthopaedics, and operated with success for almost eight years in Iceland, Denmark and Sweden. The client only has to visits the expert once. The simple kit provides measurement information on all the necessary attributes needed for a customized ankle brace for the client. These measurements are passed on to the SME that builds a customized carbon fibre ankle brace fitting the needs of the client perfectly. When the ankle brace is ready it is simply delivered directly to the client. This is a business opportunity for any orthopaedic business. The typical situation in Europe and many other parts of the world is that these products are not paid by the client/patient themselves but rather by relevant health insurances (public or private). These products usually have a fixed price, and even though prices vary from country to country the price per customized ankle brace is approximately 1000 euro with a profit margin of around 30-35% (300-350 euros). The new technique reduces the labour in the working process leaving a higher profit margin of up to 70-80% (700-800 euros). In addition there are great benefits to the client, reducing their time spent with re-visits and giving them a high quality product, an ankle brace made of carbon fibres, consequently all parties benefit. The braces can be delivered finished or just the composite parts.
