01 — In-house fabrication

Our own fabricated products.

Seventeen orthoses and supports, designed and built by hand in our own Kabul workshop — measured, moulded and finished for the person who will wear them.

TOS Workshop · KabulEST · 2005

How they're made

Made by hand, to the millimetre.

Every device on this page is fabricated in our own workshop — not imported. Each custom device begins with a cast or a precise measurement of the patient. Sheet plastic and metal are then heated, shaped, riveted and smoothed by hand until the fit is exact and the finish is clean.

This department is run by our women technicians — a team whose skill and precision set the standard for the whole workshop. What they build here is, we believe, among the first orthoses manufactured in Kabul to this level of accuracy: proof that world-class orthotics can be made in Afghanistan, by Afghan hands.

Almost every support here we also manufacture ahead in a full range of sizes — packed in labelled boxes and kept in stock, ready to buy from our store the same day.
