CHRISOFIX® holds several industry-trendsetter patents internationally, and further patents are under registration.

CHRISOFIX AG and CHRISOFIX HUNGARY Ltd. (previously ORKRISZ Ltd) are privately owned companies. They are responsible for designing, developing, manufacturing, and sale a world-wide patented product range of orthopedic splints/orthoses. The two legally independent companies represent two closely related independent parts: central services (Chrisofix AG, Switzerland) and the production plant (Chrisofix Hungary Ltd, Hungary).

The first patent on CHRISOFIX® technology was filed by K. Bolla MD., the founder of CHRISOFIX Ltd. (Schaffhausen, Switzerland) at the end of 1995. The manufacturing of the CHRISOFIX® products was started in 1997 by Orkrisz Ltd. (Budapest). Since then, CHRISOFIX Ltd. has been continuously extending its product range by developing new, patent-protected splinting technologies and products.

The CHRISOFIX® technology is the newest fixation method characterized by combining the advantages of circular (e.g. plaster of Paris, thermoplastic materials) and segmental fixations (splints and orthoses). The use of CHRISOFIX® products makes the splinting quicker and more economical than the earlier developed limb fixation methods At the end of 2020 the Chrisofix group was sold to professional private investors, and with a new management and ambitious business strategy the company is being prepared for improve the relationship with its existing partners, and for further scale-up and to conquer new markets, worldwide.

The new management is determined to keep the core values of CHRISOFIX® set by the founders, and to build long-lasting partnerships with all existing and future partners.

all products are stable and mouldable at the same time.

the readjustability to the same patient excludes the necessity of re-splinting with new material.

most of the traditional splints and custom-made thermoplastic products can be replaced by CHRISOFIX® orthoses.

earlier unrealizable therapeutic ideas become part of daily therapy
– chest orthosis for rib fracture
– quick interchangeability of an immobilising night splint to a less restricting one.

the CHRISOFIX® Forte versions (stable circular fixation) can be used instead of plaster of Paris on the upper limb before and after surgery, which may allow
– earlier start with physiotherapy and
– more convenient daily hygiene, since the splints can be removed and reapplied within one minute.

it became possible to create a new reusable product line for hospitals.
