Products such as wheelchairs, posture corrector, knee brace, back brace, ankle brace, shoulder brace, carpal tunnel brace, and wrist brace are some of the most common and demanded in the sector.
In Colombia, the production of orthopedic products is regulated by the National Institute for Food and Drug Surveillance (INVIMA).
