Leuk Orthopedie Techniek B.V.

What Leuk Orthopedie Techniek B.V. does

Leuk Orthopedie Techniek B.V. is a Dutch private limited company headquartered in Amersfoort that designs, manufactures, and dispenses custom orthopedic devices. Founded in 2013, it operates a clinical B2B motion through 14 consultation locations embedded in academic hospitals (AMC, VUMC), peripheral hospitals (Diakonessenhuis, Dijklander, St. Jansdal, Tergooi), private clinics (Bergman Clinics, Xpert Clinics, Dutch Scoliose Center), and physiotherapy practices. Patient acquisition relies on referrals from orthopedic surgeons and other medical specialists at these partner sites. The product portfolio spans custom insoles (steunzolen), orthopedic shoe modifications (OVAC), braces and orthoses (CTI Brace, DonJoy Defiance, VACOped, TurboMed XTERN Summit, JAS ROM, M.4®s PCL Dynamic, Rezolve Rise ankle-foot orthosis, custom corsets), prostheses, and scoliosis braces (Boston day/night, Providence).

The production model combines traditional orthopedic craftsmanship with digital manufacturing: CNC milling for insoles, 3D scanning and 3D printing for orthoses — a method reported to cut production waste by 50%. Distribution of the Rezolve Rise 3D-printed ankle-foot orthosis adds a differentiated technology partnership to the range. The ProBrace subsidiary, acquired in 2020, runs a consumer e-commerce webshop serving more than 150,000 customers across Europe, providing a parallel DTC channel that bypasses the specialist-referral requirement of the clinical side.

Revenue is generated from unit sales of custom orthopedic devices reimbursed via Dutch basic health insurance (Leuk Orthopedie is a contracted provider with all Dutch health insurers and bills directly) plus direct-to-consumer online sales through ProBrace. SEMH certification, AVG/WGBO compliance, and NVOS-Orthobanda membership underpin the regulatory posture. Cumulative output since 2013 totals 100,236 products and 38,126 patients; the firm employs ~13 people. No external funding rounds, venture capital, or institutional investors are disclosed in the source data, and the company appears to be privately held and founder/family-operated.
