Ortho-Ped

What Ortho-Ped does

Ortho-Ped Dittmer GmbH & Co.KG (brand: Ortho-Ped) is a Berlin-based Sanitätshaus (orthopedic medical supply retailer) founded in 2012, operating two physical retail locations at Blissestraße 13/15 (Wilmersdorf) and Kurfürstendamm 33 (the Q33 Store), supplemented by the Sanivita online shop and meinHILFSMITTEL.de equipment-rental platform. The company serves individual patients across multiple segments — foot and postural conditions, mobility-impaired patients (including children with cerebral palsy), prosthetic and orthotic users, breast cancer and post-surgical patients, venous/lymphatic conditions, and podiatry patients — through both walk-in retail and appointment-based professional consultation.

Its core offering spans custom orthopedic insoles (sensomotorisch, sport, diabetes, pediatric variants), bandages and orthoses (including 3D-printed pediatric AFOs), compression stockings and compression clothing, breast epitheses, daily living aids and medical devices (Beurer), rehabilitation technology (wheelchairs, custom seating), Petö rehabilitation systems, and podology services. Production capability is anchored in an in-house workshop using 3D scanning (Bodytronic 600), 3D printing, CNC milling for custom sandals, Dartfish video gait analysis, Footpower podoscope, and MESI ABI measurement. The product portfolio is supplied primarily through long-standing partnerships with Bauerfeind, MEDI, Ottobock, Dartfish, and Footpower; orthopedic footwear is configured via the NovaPED/Schein Exclusive platform.

The revenue model combines direct retail sales of medical supplies (much of which is reimbursable via German statutory health insurance/Krankenkasse with prescription), fees from professional consultation and fitting services, custom-manufacturing workshop output, equipment rental via meinHILFSMITTEL.de, and insurance-covered podiatry services. Customer acquisition is driven by professional in-store consultation, Google Reviews testimonials, local sports sponsorships (Berlin Recycling Volleys, SpreeFüxxe), content marketing on foot health topics, and a Terminland online appointment booking flow. The company is privately held and discloses no revenue or funding figures.
