Dear List,
An SNF administrator approached me recently and asked if I were familiar
with www.neuro-ifrahproducts.com . I was not. They wanted to use their
orthotics, pre-fab and custom. I looked at the site. Interesting ideas and
solutions. I would like to ask the list if anyone is familiar with the
products and actually used them. Seems that the fabrication is very
expensive and the site actively promotes direct orders by physical
therapists. They offer ceretrtification courses. Here is an excerpt from the
FAQ section:
*My facility has a contract only with certain vendors, can your orthotics be
provided by our authorized vendor, or do we have to go through Neuro-IFRAH
Products?*
*We can make arrangements with certain vendors providing that they contact
us and sign specific agreements regarding confidentiality and intellectual
property. In many cases staff has proposed that the facility has a direct
contract with Neuro-IFRAH Products thus eliminating having to go through
another middle entity. Also having a direct contact with Neuro-IFRAH
Products makes it easier to have access to all the latest equipment as well
as the wide range of products without delay. We will be very glad to
facilitate the process of having your facility establish an account with
Neuro-IFRAH Products.*
So, we re referred to as a middle entity. Anyway, the purpose of this
e-mail* is not* to start (again) a discussion about P.T.-s or M.D.-s
ordering directly from the manufacturers. A lot has been said in this
regard. My question is clinical. Does anyone have clinical knowledge about
the products? In particular their AFO called PRO:
