LOGO - We Care: People, Products, Solutions

Each week leading up to the event we will give you some insight into the “We Care” theme we are using for this event.

Over the years Össur has been heavily focused on products with great success and Össur employees all know that Össur is about much more than just products.

It's actually our customers who we have to thank for our theme this year. The fact that we care about more than just making products keeps cropping up in our customer interaction and surveys. People tell us that they feel Össur cares enough to go the extra mile. We believe they are right, and in more ways than one…

People + Products = Solutions


 

This year, for the first time ever, two of the world’s leading O&P events are coming together in one place in Leipzig, Germany. 

The International Society for Prosthetics and Orthotics (ISPO) will be holding their 13th World Congress in Leipzig, Germany, from May 10-15. And two days after it starts, the largest international trade show, ORTHOPÄDIE + REHA-TECHNIK, will also be opening its doors in the same venue.

The trade show offers an unparalleled opportunity for those in the O&P sector to stay abreast of the latest technologies, techniques and developments, as well as networking with colleagues and specialists in the field. From orthopaedic and rehabilitative technicians, to orthopaedic shoe experts, specialist suppliers, therapists and physicians, the event is expected to attract around 19,000 visitors from 85 countries.

Sharing New Ideas and Advanced Technologies

Össur will, of course, be at Leipzig. Our staff will be eager to share the newest ideas and advanced technologies, with discussions focusing on people, partners and solutions. As usual, Össur is presenting a great series of informative lectures and workshops over the course of the event.
