Title:
Cost of Halo components
Text:
Can anyone explain why Halo orthoses are so expensive? Is it the liability
exposure, the cost of quality control, sterilization, cost of the materials,
the relatively low volume of sales, the 24 hour emergency availability, the
cost of the materials, the cost of assembly, the cost of R&D to design and
develop? Any ideas, or is there just good mark up on them for the
manufacturers?
To practitioners:
What brands have you found to have the quality required, convenience of
application and adjustability and a more reasonable cost? Do you consider
cost? Please don't respond if you have a vested interest in the brand you use
unless you disclose it.
I'll post responses.
