BORT orthoses and joint supports
BORT orthoses and supports are used when additional stabilization, movement control or relief of a specific joint is needed. Depending on the body area, users can choose orthoses for the shoulder, elbow, wrist, thumb, knee, ankle and foot. In cases of injury, postoperative recovery or pronounced instability, the choice of aid should follow the recommendation of a doctor, physiatrist, physiotherapist or pharmacist.
Supports are practical for everyday assistance in milder strain, sports activities and a feeling of instability, while orthoses often provide more precise movement control and stronger stabilization. Correct measurement and size selection are essential for comfort, support and safe use.
BORT foot aids, back supports and everyday movement
BORT foot aids are intended for people with pressure on certain foot areas, walking discomfort, toe problems or the need for additional relief. The assortment includes Pedi Soft products, supports, protectors and other aids for more comfortable movement.
For the back and trunk, BORT supports and bandages may be used when additional support, stabilization or relief is needed. These products require correct adjustment and suitable size, because overly tight or incorrect use may cause discomfort, pressure or reduced functionality.
How to choose a BORT product?
First determine the area where support is needed: shoulder, elbow, wrist, thumb, back, knee, ankle or foot. Then check whether you need a lighter support for everyday use, an orthosis for stronger stabilization or a specific aid for pressure relief. In acute injury, severe pain, swelling, deformity, tingling, loss of strength or recovery after surgery, the choice of orthopedic aid should be discussed with a doctor or physiotherapist.

Pharmacist’s advice
An orthopedic aid should be selected according to the body area, pain level, joint stability, range of motion and professional recommendation. Incorrect size or excessive tightening may cause pressure, tingling, swelling or worsening discomfort. If you have severe pain, sudden swelling, skin colour change, numbness, deformity, suspected fracture or pain after injury, do not rely only on a support or orthosis — seek medical evaluation.
