Welcome! FOCAL Meditech BV invites you to its world of really innovative Assistive Technology

   

FOCAL Meditech BV is an independent Dutch manufacturer, importer, exporter and supplier of high end assistive technology. The FOCAL line of products involves: 

• high-end body support systems
• assistive robotics
• feeding aids
• individual solutions

The body support systems either assist in manually performing activities of daily living or passively support body structures. The systems that assist in performing manual tasks are various types of dynamic arm supports. These systems range from simple sling type arm supports till electronically powered and even sensor steered arm supports. Until a few years ago such dynamic arm supports were an almost undreamed of solution for persons with serious shoulder, arm or hand disorders. FOCAL Meditech BV has its own design and production facilities for this type of assistive technology. See our VICTOR, TOP and SLING series! 

FOCAL is the proud manufacturer of Personal Robot BRIDGIT. BRIDGIT is a very light state of the art wheelchair mounted assistive robot. Unlike other assistive robots, BRIDGIT is truly easy to use thanks to its intuitive interface – its use is commonly learned with 30 minutes. In spite of its limited dimensions BRIDGIT has a considerable reach since it is fitted on a revolutionary rails system that also allows for easy storage and passage of doorways.

Independent feeding and drinking is the tasks that many of our users perform the most frequently with our dynamic arm supports. However, we also manufacture a range of dedicated feeding aids. They are either used by persons with weak muscle force (see JAMIE) or by persons challenged by tremors or spasticity (see NELSON). 

FOCAL Meditech BV also provides a wide range of other specialised products. These products invariably involve complex mechanical or electro-mechanical aids, manufactured to suit individual needs. 

For a number of years the company has been importing and supplying modular headrest systems in the Netherlands. In the specialised area of head support a great deal of know- how has been gained. A line of additional FOCAL products that allow for better positioning of the head or head steering is available. 

FOCAL Meditech BV:

  * imports modular head support systems from Whitmyer Biomechanics (US).

  These products are tuned to persons with complex postural problems

  * imports the mealtime support device MySpoon from Secom Co.Ltd. (Japan).

  This product provides a modern-day solution for persons that are unable to eat alone.
