Ergoresearch announces the exclusive launch of the new plantar orthosis, "Chic!"

LAVAL, QC, April 5, 2017

With its thin and tapered special design, "Chic!" is made to be worn with high heels and dress shoes. "Even if they need the orthopedic support, many of our patients don't wear their orthosis all of the time because it doesn't fit in their more fashionable or dress-type shoes. Our research and development team came up with a solution, which means that wearing an orthosis is no longer limited by the type of shoes being worn", explains Sylvain Boucher, president and CEO.

Built with a new material that's both waterproof and breathable, the "Chic!" orthosis is available in a range of fashionable designs. Patients can now be chic to the tips of their toes with one of the three limited-edition, spring-inspired patterns: polka dots, stripes, or floral. 

"By responding to our clientele's critical need for an orthosis that combines both comfort and fashion—and due to its unique market position, the "Chic!" orthosis allow us to stand out from the competition. Thanks to the input of our team of dedicated professionals, our patients will be able to maintain the right posture in all of their shoes", adds Mr. Boucher. "What's more, today's launch is the result of our dedicated initiatives to constantly leverage technology to create new products that drive our leadership position within the industry."
