About Focal
For over 25 years, Focal Meditech has specialised in head and arm support for people with reduced arm or hand function. Focal is also active in the field of environment controllers, communication, wheelchair accessories and respiratory devices. Focal offers customisation and specialises in building and integrating all kinds of complex aid devices to wheelchairs. Our products can currently be found at home and abroad and are used by young and old.
Mission and vision
Focal’s vision: Using technology to find solutions for people with a disability. Focal strives to develop relevant innovative aids that are marketed with care. Focal does not think in terms of limitations but in terms of possibilities. We also want to convey this way of thinking to our clients and relations.
Our motto
By listening carefully to the client, Focal sets to work, in its own way, to find a suitable solution. Even once a product has been made, Focal is not finished. We remain critical of ourselves, so that we can continue to optimise our products and services.
That is why our motto is: Listen, Create, Improve.
Together
By working together with universities, we can respond to current issues and contribute to future developments. We are also in close contact with interest groups, universities of applied sciences, hospitals and care institutions to deepen our understanding in various fields.
