About Us
Orthotix is proud to be flying the flag for Wales in the orthopaedic healthcare sector. Operating as an omni-channel business, we supply a diverse range of healthcare products to hospitals, orthotic businesses, private clinics, sports organisations, and directly to the public through retailers and our established online platforms.
Our Story
Our roots date back to 1972, when our founding company was established to support people with disabilities in the Cardiff community. What began as a local service soon expanded nationwide, supplying custom-made orthoses through National Health Service (NHS) contracts.
Today, Orthotix forms part of the last remaining Orthotic House in Wales with full manufacturing capability, offering both bespoke and ready-made orthotic products.
In 2004, Orthotix was launched to provide an affordable range of off-the-shelf orthotic products to complement our bespoke solutions. For many NHS patients, this meant quicker lead times and access to medically approved devices designed to treat a wide range of orthotic pathologies and injuries.
Guided by our “supporting your wellbeing” mantra, our product range has continued to diversify over the last two decades, evolving from supports, splints, and braces to include medical underwear, podiatry consumables, insoles and specialist footwear, mobility aids, and other orthotic supplies.
In 2017, we took an important step forward by going digital, making our niche orthopaedic products more accessible than ever through multiple online platforms under our Orthotix Healthcare brand.
Now a proud third-generation family-owned business, Orthotix operates as part of The PTH Group, alongside a portfolio of other healthcare companies including Daceys, Ace Feet in Motion, and The Healthcare Hub. Siblings Paul, Tom, and Hayley continue to drive strategic growth, product innovation, and a culture of customer care across the business.
Our Purpose
At Orthotix, our purpose is to support the health and wellbeing of the public by improving access to functional, affordable, and high-quality Class I medical devices and healthcare products.
We believe everyone should have access to effective orthotic healthcare solutions that promote mobility, independence, and comfort. By working closely with Healthcare Professionals, NHS partners, and retailers, we make clinically approved products more accessible to those who need them most across the UK.
Our Brands
Orthotix serves as the exclusive distribution partner for several leading global manufacturers within the orthopaedic sector. As the designated UK Responsible Person, we are proud to represent and introduce their well-established brands to the UK market. In addition to these partnerships, we have also developed our own comprehensive range of product lines in collaboration with our multidisciplinary healthcare teams.
Our Accreditations
At Orthotix, we have implemented a suite of ISO standards to ensure the effective management of our design, manufacture, and supply of Class I medical devices. These systems underpin our commitment to consistent quality, safety, and compliance.
As a long-standing member of the British Healthcare Trades Association (BHTA) and an approved NHS supplier, we uphold the highest standards of product integrity and patient safety. We also remain fully compliant with the Medical Device Regulation (MDR) and maintain an assigned EU Authorised Representative to support our international export operations.
Our Partners
In addition to supplying our orthopaedic products to hospitals and healthcare providers, our sports medicine range has become a key area of focus in recent years. Orthotix is an official supplier of supports, splints, bracing, and insoles to a number of elite sports organisations and nationally recognised sporting events.
