What Ortho Baltic does

Ortho Baltic (UAB Ortho Baltic) is a Lithuanian medical device manufacturer founded in 2001 and headquartered in Kaunas, specializing in custom-made orthopedic footwear and pre-preg carbon fiber orthoses. The company operates as a B2B central fabrication partner serving orthopedic clinics, medical device distributors, and healthcare professionals across more than 10 European countries plus the Middle East and Australasia, with over 90% of production exported. Its portfolio spans two core franchises: (1) custom-made orthopedic footwear (lasts, insoles, test shoes, uppers, bottoming, pre-preg stiffeners) marketed under the i-wear® brand, and (2) pre-preg carbon fiber orthoses (FO, AFO, KO, KAFO) marketed under the Easy Walk® brand, with prefabricated sub-products including the AFO10T STABILITY, AFO10A Advance, and AFO10K KITE pediatric model.

The company's underlying technology is built on pre-preg carbon fiber originally adapted from automotive and aviation industries, combined with a vertically integrated digital manufacturing workflow: Easy Foot Scan 3D scanning (0.5mm accuracy), CAD modeling, 5-axis CNC milling, and Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) 3D printing for the 3D-JUST® insole line. All production stages from design to bottoming are performed in-house, enabling control over fit, fatigue resistance, and weight for complicated orthopedic cases. Supporting platforms include the S3DW web-based 3D modeling system for shoe lasts and insoles, and a range of branded prefabricated components (footplates, wooden lasts).

Ortho Baltic makes money through one-time sales of custom-made and prefabricated medical devices priced via quote-based B2B contracts, supplemented by central fabrication services and digital workflow licensing through the iWear® online ordering system. Customers are segmented into B2B Healthcare Partners (primary), End Patients with medical foot conditions (diabetic, neurological, pediatric), and Health-Conscious Consumers. The company is privately held with no disclosed external equity investors, has achieved EU MDR (EU 2017/745) compliance, and maintains active R&D partnerships including the FP7-funded A FOOTPRINT Consortium.
