ORMED GmbH

What ORMED GmbH does

ORMED GmbH is a German medical technology company headquartered in Freiburg im Breisgau that operates as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Enovis Corporation, serving the DACH (Germany, Austria, Switzerland) market with orthopaedic rehabilitation products. The company was previously known under the DJO brand before the broader Enovis rebranding. It markets a portfolio of established medical device brands including DONJOY® (orthopaedic braces and supports such as the ROAM™ OA knee orthosis and LumboForce® lumbar line), Aircast® (protective supports including the Halgu-Day Hallux Valgus line), ARTROMOT® (motorised continuous passive motion / CPM devices for knee and hip rehabilitation), Chattanooga® (including the LightForce® high-energy laser therapy system), Exos®, and Procare®. The product range spans one-time-sale orthoses and capital equipment as well as subscription-style CPM rental delivered through statutory health-insurance prescription channels.

The company's commercial model combines direct enterprise sales to physicians and physical therapists, channel partnerships with the Sanitätsfachhandel (medical supply retail trade), and exclusive distribution agreements — notably FUGGS GmbH, which handles Dr. Comfort foot-care products across DACH, with logistics routed through SGI Footcare in the Netherlands. ORMED complements its physical-device business with a digital services layer, including electronic prescription transmission and digital prescription status tracking for CPM therapy, and partnerships with Orthopy GmbH (knee-rehabilitation DiGA app) and eCovery GmbH (back-pain DiGA app), as well as the Enovis Akademie training platform for medical supply retailers. Revenue is generated through one-time device sales, recurring CPM rental/therapy subscriptions, and professional training services, while end customers span enterprise healthcare professionals and individual orthopaedic patients.
