Our story makes us better understand YOUR story...
This project was born after a traumatic experience of one of its founders, Rafael Vidal...
This engineer from Madrid was one of the few survivors of the serious air accident of Spanair (Madrid-2008). After multiple (16) operations, and during his long convalescence, he detected that there was a social need to solve.
"I left the hospital with many fractures that finally healed, but I had one in the tibia that did not close. I couldn't understand how someone who has to carry crutches for a while or for the rest of their life had to endure this nightmare. After several weeks of reflection, I deduced that it was important to try to improve the existing products on the market. All the products that contribute to improving our quality of life.
The idea was to solve several problems for hundreds of thousands of users of crutches, canes, walkers, etc., all over the world. From those who have to use them for a limited time, or for those for whom these mobility aids are part of their daily life, using them for an indefinitely prolonged time...
Today Rafael Vidal makes a totally normal life. "The experience helped me to think about improving people's lives. Whether to walk, see or hear, I realized that in all these fields there is room for improvement to make a better world," says this young Spanish engineer.
Today we are a company based in Madrid (Spain), founded in 2011, by a team of engineers specializing in bioengineering and medical devices with extensive experience in the field of medicine and aerospace industry. Vidal then found two partners for this project: Physicist Miguel Cappiello (former co-worker) and Surgeon Aleksandar Lovic (whom he met at the La Paz Hospital). INDESmed had begun to walk.
Currently the INDESmed Team...
... is made up of workers committed to that "IdEa", highly specialized in their products, communication and logistics. We are available in 7 languages (Spanish, English, German, French, Italian, Portuguese and Chinese) 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
