Prosthetics, orthoses and walking and mobility aids have to be light, hygienic, and durable under load. Plastics such as PP, PE, PA, and ABS form the material basis here – and their prices influence the calculation of orthopaedic and assistive products.

Companies that rely on pricenxt




With pricenxt Analytics, teams capture price developments faster, compare price series, and build up their own structured market monitoring.
Prosthetics and medical aids combine functional and load-bearing components; price movements in the polymers used have a noticeable effect on material costs and calculation.
Light and load-bearing at once: materials such as PP, PA and POM are chosen deliberately for functional components, and their prices develop differently.
Custom and series production: from the individually made orthosis to the series-produced mobility aid, the material price is a relevant cost factor.
Predictable calculation: transparent price developments make quotations, budgets, and negotiations easier.



From procurement to management: pricenxt supports key decisions along the entire value chain.
Tracks the price development of the plastics used, positions the company’s own price level against the market and prepares supplier negotiations on a sound basis.
Assesses material alternatives for functional and load-bearing components in terms of cost and factors price differences in as early as the design stage.
Keeps the material cost base in view, identifies margin risks at an early stage and bases strategic decisions on dependable market data.

For prosthetics and medical aids, the key materials are PP and PE for orthoses and prosthetic sockets, ABS for housings and mobility aids, and PA and POM for mechanically loaded functional components. Dental prosthetics use specially formulated PMMA-based dental acrylics, which are not represented by the listed water-clear commodity grade.
