Summary

The French orthopaedic braces and supports market is important and growing, driven by an ageing population, increased healthcare spending, and an increasing incidence of orthopaedic injuries and disorders. Furthermore, there is a growing emphasis in the French market on non-invasive treatments for orthopaedic conditions, increased adoption of advanced materials and technologies in brace design, and an increase in the number of sports-related injuries and conditions. French companies are actively involved in research and development of new orthopedic braces and supports, with a focus on incorporating advanced materials and technologies into brace design. For example, Thuasne has developed a range of braces that use 3D printing technology to create custom-fit devices for patients. Orthopaedic braces and supports have a long history in France, dating back to the early 19th century, when physicians and surgeons began to experiment with devices designed to support and immobilise broken limbs and joints. In the beginning, these devices were frequently built of plaster or other materials and were largely used for immobilisation following injuries or procedures. Advances in materials and manufacturing technology have resulted in the development of increasingly sophisticated braces and supports, with an emphasis on improving patient comfort and mobility. Dr. Albert Robin, a French physician, invented a series of braces and supports to treat spine problems such as scoliosis and kyphosis in the early twentieth century. These gadgets, which included metal frames and leather straps, were efficient at relieving pain and improving posture. In the 1960s and 70s, the development of plastics and other synthetic materials led to a new era of orthopedic brace design, with companies such as Gibaud and Thuasne leading the way in France. These companies focused on developing lightweight, flexible braces and supports that were easier to wear and provided better support and protection.
