What Istituto Ortopedico Faraldo s.r.l. does

Istituto Ortopedico Faraldo s.r.l. is an Italian family-owned orthopedic device company founded in 1956 and headquartered in Caserta, Campania. It specializes in the design, manufacture, and fitting of custom orthopedic devices, including upper- and lower-limb prosthetics, spinal and postural orthoses, dynamic lower-limb braces, and a range of mobility aids (manual and electronic wheelchairs, pediatric seating systems, walkers). Manufacturing is performed in-house by biomedical engineers using advanced materials such as carbon fiber, with each device tailored to the patient's anatomy, functional requirements, and clinical indications.

The company operates through more than 10 retail/showroom locations spread across the Campania region (Caserta, Maddaloni, Marcianise, Piedimonte Matese, Telese Terme, Benevento, Santa Maria Capua Vetere, and Caivano), providing in-person consultations, fittings, home visits, and post-delivery support services such as a 30-day physiotherapist-led prosthetic training program and free loan of post-operative caps. Its go-to-market is predominantly direct-to-patient via physical branches, complemented by referrals from physicians, hospitals, and rehabilitation specialists, and structured reimbursement through conventions with ASL (local health authorities) and INAIL (workers' compensation), which cover costs for eligible patients with recognized disabilities. Revenue is generated primarily through one-off sales of custom-made devices, with supplementary streams from equipment rentals and recurring reimbursement pathways. The company is entirely family-controlled with no disclosed institutional investors, M&A activity, or funding history.
