ORTOPEDIA QUERALTO SL

What ORTOPEDIA QUERALTO SL does

Ortopedia Queraltó SL is a Spanish regional orthopaedic retailer and custom medical-device manufacturer headquartered in Sevilla, operating seven physical establishments across the Sevilla and Huelva provinces (3 in Sevilla capital, 1 in Écija, 2 in Huelva capital, 1 in Minas de Riotinto). Founded in 1898 as 'Bazar La Estrella Roja' by D. Domingo Queraltó Horta, the company is the oldest orthopaedic business in Andalusia and one of the first in Spain, with the dedicated orthopaedic entity formally separated from its broader medical/surgical predecessor in 2001. The company employs 50+ workers, including 15 specialized orthopaedic technicians, and operates three licensed fabrication workshops plus what it describes as the only in-house custom orthopaedic footwear workshop in the region.

The product portfolio spans orthoses (upper limb, lower limb, trunk), upper- and lower-limb prosthetics including myoelectric systems, technical mobility and bathroom aids, electromedical equipment, anti-decubitus products, articulated beds, orthopedic footwear (standard and custom-made), and compression therapy products for lymphedema, lipedema, chronic venous insufficiency, and ulcer prevention. Services include custom prosthetic and orthotic fabrication using CAD-CAM 3D measurement systems, 3D scanning and 3D printing (notably for cranial orthoses treating infant plagiocephaly/brachycephaly), ocular prostheses, Ponseti-method clubfoot treatment, gait analysis, and audiology services including hearing aids and cochlear implants. The company runs clinical training partnerships with Prim/Prim Academy covering TASKA prosthetic systems and conducts joint education sessions at public hospital rehabilitation services including Hospital de Riotinto and Hospital Juan Ramón Jiménez.

The business model is sales-led direct-to-consumer through physical retail: all products and services are sold and fitted in-person at the company's own establishments, with an explicit no-online-sales policy. Revenue streams combine (a) cash/retail sales of orthopaedic products and durable goods (e.g., articulated bed packages disclosed at €1,250), (b) custom device fabrication billed on a project basis, (c) fees for clinical services (gait analysis, audiology, cranial orthosis fitting, ocular prosthesis adaptation), and (d) authorized processing of Servicio Andaluz de Salud (SAS) prescriptions where technicians handle paperwork on behalf of patients. Customer segments span individuals with mobility/physical disabilities (primary), healthcare professional referrals (primary), patients with circulatory/lymphatic conditions, hearing-impaired individuals, and SAS-eligible Andalusian public-health patients. Marketing relies on the company website plus Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok channels, plus professional referral networks and industry/seminar participation.
