Halo Medical

What Halo Medical does

Halo Medical is a UK-based provider of custom orthotic devices operating as a service brand under Medfac Orthotics, headquartered in Wellingborough with approximately 40 employees and a nationwide clinic footprint. The company designs and manufactures bespoke orthotic devices across six core product categories: custom insoles, orthotic footwear, ankle-foot orthoses (AFOs, DAFOs, SMAFOs), knee-ankle-foot orthoses (KAFOs) and conventional metal orthoses, cranial helmets, and spinal braces. Device fabrication is performed in-house at a UK manufacturing facility, with patient measurements captured via advanced 3D scanning technology rather than traditional casting methods, enabling a stated turnaround of approximately two weeks from assessment to delivery.

The business operates a sales-led, hybrid go-to-market combining online video consultations, face-to-face clinical assessments at UK-wide clinics, in-house manufacturing, and dedicated fittings-and-alterations appointments delivered by fully qualified orthotists. Revenue is generated through one-time purchases of custom orthotic devices and professional clinical services (assessments, fittings, and adjustments), with publicly undisclosed pricing determined post-assessment. Customer acquisition runs through two parallel channels: NHS Trust referrals — where Halo Medical has secured first-place recognition for the lowest Referral-to-Treatment wait times in the country — and direct patient bookings via the Medfac Orthotics website. The company also operates a direct e-commerce shop for repeat and ancillary orthotic products (footwear, insoles, supports, braces).

Strategically, Halo Medical is positioned as a vertically integrated orthotics provider, combining 3D scanning capture, in-house UK manufacturing, and a national clinic network under a single corporate umbrella that also houses the Florence Paediatrics sub-brand for paediatric and cranial care. The company's primary differentiators are its nationwide clinic accessibility, in-house manufacturing control, and clinical reputation reflected in NHS recognition, rather than proprietary AI/ML technology, software platforms, or significant disclosed intellectual property.
