- Mollii Electrostimulation Suit Electrotherapy garment (pants and jacket) with 58 integrated electrodes and a detachable control unit, using reciprocal inhibition via weak electrical currents across 40 channels at 20V to reduce spasticity and improve motor control. Distributed by Reha-Robotics in Switzerland for individuals with spasticity and motor disorders.
- Turtle Brace Orthosis Versatile orthosis hybrid combining low-temperature ecological thermoplastic with microfiber fabric, allowing direct molding on the patient at 67-85°C for immobilization of fractures or joints. Distributed by Reha-Robotics in Switzerland as a re-moldable, X-ray-transparent, breathable, waterproof orthopedic device.
- Nubolo Dynamic Air Cushion System Dynamic alternating air cell cushion divided into 4 to 8 zones that creates a massage effect through alternating load/unload cycles to prevent pressure ulcers for wheelchair users, with mobile-app control of different programs based on activity level (offered in Cell, Med, and Pro variants). Distributed by Reha-Robotics in Switzerland for long-duration wheelchair users at risk of pressure injuries.
- Quha Zono Gyroscopic Computer-Access Mouse Wireless, lightweight gyroscopic computer mouse designed for users who cannot operate a standard mouse, enabling independent computer access through head, neck, or helmet mounting with very small head movements. Distributed by Reha-Robotics in Switzerland for individuals with limited hand function.
- Pneumaflex 2 Dynamic Foot Orthosis Dynamic foot drop orthosis that uses an intelligent spring-pump system with carbon-fiber construction to store energy and replace lost foot dorsiflexion muscle function, custom-fitted using a plaster cast impression. Distributed by Reha-Robotics in Switzerland for individuals with foot drop caused by neurological conditions.
- Darwing Dynamic Arm Support Passive, energy-based dynamic arm support with a double-swing mechanism that supports the arm and forearm independently, providing position-dependent weight compensation and task-specific adjustable settings for users with minimal residual arm muscle strength. Distributed by Reha-Robotics in Switzerland as part of the Focal Meditech arm-support line.
- Gowing Hybrid Dynamic Arm Support Dynamic arm support providing position-dependent weight compensation with hybrid upward movement capability (assisted or passive) and a braking system with 'Stop' function for safe passive arm release. Distributed by Reha-Robotics in Switzerland as part of the Focal Meditech arm-support line.
- Dowing Passive Arm Elevator Passive arm elevator offering continuous gravity compensation from 0 to 100 percent for indoor use at tables or work chairs, enabling daily activities such as eating, drinking, and computer work without external reinforcement.

Reha-Robotics competitors and assessment
Company assessmentBroad incumbents
- Permobil: Swedish-founded global manufacturer of powered wheelchairs and seating systems with strong European footprint. Adjacent competitor serving the same wheelchair-user segment as Reha-Robotics' Nubolo cushion offering, with broader proprietary cushion and seating portfolios.
- Sunrise Medical: Global manufacturer of mobility devices (manual and powered wheelchairs, seating) with established Swiss distribution. Adjacent competitor to Reha-Robotics in the wheelchair-user segment, particularly around pressure management (Nubolo-equivalent cushions) and assistive controls.
- Invacare: Global manufacturer and distributor of home and long-term care medical equipment, including mobility, respiratory, and rehab products. Comparable in serving the same end-user demographic (people with disabilities at home) as Reha-Robotics, with broader but less specialized product depth.
- KINOVA Robotics: Canadian manufacturer of the JACO robotic arm that Reha-Robotics distributes in Switzerland. Operates in the same assistive robotics category and represents the upstream partner whose strategic decisions directly shape Reha-Robotics' product roadmap and channel positioning.
- Arjo: Swedish medical equipment company specializing in patient handling, pressure injury prevention, and rehabilitation—overlapping with Reha-Robotics' pressure-ulcer prevention (Nubolo) and rehab therapy (Bimeo) categories. Operates across European healthcare systems including Switzerland via direct sales and partners.
- Bioness (Bioventus): Manufacturer of the L300/L300 Plus/L300 Go and H200 functional electrical stimulation systems that Reha-Robotics exclusively distributes in Switzerland. As the upstream OEM, Bioventus could in theory bypass independent distributors and serve the Swiss market directly—a structural threat and the closest comparable portfolio-overlap competitor.
Direct peers
- Ottobock: Global leader in prosthetics, orthotics, and rehabilitation technology with established Swiss operations. Directly competes with Reha-Robotics in distributing assistive/rehab devices (orthoses, FES-adjacent products, mobility aids) to Swiss clinicians and end-users, but at much broader scale and with a deeper proprietary catalog.
- Össur: Iceland-based global orthotics and prosthetics manufacturer with strong European distribution and Swiss market presence. Competes in similar categories to Reha-Robotics (orthotic braces, mobility/limb support devices) and is a direct alternative for Swiss orthopedic prescribers evaluating rehabilitation technology vendors.
Emerging players
- Focal Meditech: Dutch manufacturer of dynamic arm supports (Darwing, Gowing, Dowing) that Reha-Robotics distributes. A small specialized European player focused exclusively on upper-limb assistive devices, directly comparable in niche and product depth to Reha-Robotics' arm-support category.
- Inerventions (Mollii manufacturer): Swedish manufacturer of the Mollii electrostimulation suit (58 electrodes, reciprocal-inhibition spasticity therapy) that Reha-Robotics distributes in Switzerland. A small specialized player in the same upper-limb/spasticity category, with potential to expand direct sales channels into Switzerland.
