At the same time, the company aims to reduce secondaryinjuries caused by conventional walking assist devices.Orthopedic Surgeon Dr. Birnbaum, who worked for over thirty years in the orthopedic field, is the founder, President, and CEO of Ergoactives, LLC. Based on open conversations with thousands of patients, the company’s products were manufactured to prevent and reduce discomforts from conventional devices that have been previously acknowledged by doctors and patients from all over the world. Dr. Birnbaum created Ergoactives, LLC with the end-user, or the patient in mind. Ever since its foundation in 2007 with just a design idea, the company has evolved to design, develop and market several innovations in the medical device field. The Company’s mission aims at becoming the innovative leader in the orthopedic field with unique ergonomic orthopedic devices for the enrichment of the mobility-impaired. A Message from Dr. Birnbaum: “Working every day as an Orthopedic Surgeon for the last decades of my life, I noticed that 99% of my patients often complained about added injuries or extra pain caused by the devices that were helping them walk, mainly because the devices commonly found on the market were outdated crutches or outdated walking assist devices, with technology that was not updated for the last sixty years. Every patient should have the right to recover with the latest innovations in the orthopedic field for an effective, fast and easy recovery. At Ergoactives, we provide the latest technology in the orthopedic field, aimed at improving people’s quality of life when it comes to surgery or injury recovery. We have gone above the competition, using a combination of an ergonomic all-round design with shock absorption technology. This has created a new trend in orthopedic recovery, in which patients are finally happy after an injury or surgery, and they truly feel comfortable with our devices. All of the company’s products have come to light following a model of total quality control, ensuring the best quality for our products. All of our devices take in to account the anatomy of the body’s articulations, which are implemented in the actual devices. This process ensures that the patient, or the end-user of our products feels safe, free of secondary injuries, with the proper support and recovers in a quick and comfortable manner.”

Description
・Ergocap is a patented rubber crutch tip that features a circular base with four ailerons springing from the base for gripping on surfaces more effectively, especially on wet or humid surfaces. ・The four anti-slippery ailerons springing from the base of the crutch tip can flex up to thirty degrees. This way, the Ergocap emulates the movement of the foot and ankle joints, perfecting the gait, moving in a heel-flat-toe fashion. ・The Ergocap introduces a special part of the rubber called the neck, with a circumference that provides the perfect movement to emulate the foot and ankle articulations, promoting a perfect gait (Heel-Flat-Toe) ・The two alliances of the four shock absorber ailerons that spring out of the base of the Ergocap and the neck of the crutch tip allow the Ergocap to be the first and only crutch tip on the market that emulates the two articulations of the foot and ankle with just a single movement. ・Made out of the strongest rubber in the market, the Ergocap does not deteriorate as fast as other crutch tips in the market. It allows for longer duration without having to replace it as often as conventional crutch tips.

Description Tucane is an advanced walking assist device that imitates a hip, as if the user had three hips on the body for extra support. This new and innovative concept substitutes conventional canes, as it is completely revolutionary. The Tucane helps the user to walk with a perfect form and posture. It also allows the user to walk in a perfect gait (Heel-Flat-Toe), reducing and preventing back pain as a result of incorrect posture during the walk. During the walk, Tucane moves forward at the level of the leg while the user advances. It is equipped with a spring on the handle of the cane that pushes the Tucane forward as the user lifts the cane from the ground, producing a feeling as if the cane is walking on its own, avoiding extra stress or force required from the user. The Tucane is adjustable and adapts to the user’s correct height. The Cane tip equipped in all Tucane Ergonomic canes is based of an advanced medical anti-slippery and extra strong rubber. During the walk, the Ergocap Cane Tip will simulate the foot and ankle joint articulation, allowing for a perfect walk (Heel-Flat-Toe) and reducing impact and vibration from contact with the ground. The grip handle of the Tucane is manufactured from a soft, ergonomic rubber. It was designed to reduce impact and stress on the different anatomic structures of the body, such as wrists, elbows, and shoulders. The grip handle allows preventing inflammation or pain in any of these areas. At the same time, Tucane corrects the user’s posture while walking. Overall, Tucane reduces impact and vibration while promoting a perfect gait. It also emulates the articulation of the human hip. It is in this way that the Tucane stands out from any other cane or walking stick in the market. Tucane is more than a cane, it’s a third hip!
How It Works Tucane’s design mimics the human's hip natural movement: Yellow and blue halos on the image represent the main support, which mimic the trochanters in the human anatomy. In color orange, the second support repre- sented by the neck of the femur and a third rotated support, the handle, that mimics the head of the femur.
Anti-slip and Anti-vibrations Anatomic Handle With Shock Absorber Mechanism Of Action, The User Does Not Have To Propulse The Tucane What Makes One In Every Step Of The March
Loads Receiver Collar Collect Impacts Of Action And Reaction Exercised By The User To The Ground And Vice versa, Preventings Impacts Transfer To The User
Tucane: A Self-Propelled Advanced Ergonomic Cane superior to any conventional cane in the market weighing 1.3 Kg (2.86 lb). It becomes “A Third Hip” to users for extra body balance and support.

Shoebaum AirCam Walker
Shoebaum® is a product developed under Ergoactives designs. Shoebaum® immobilizes the foot and ankle during the gait, promotes comfort, cleanliness, and esthetics while fostering speedy recovery. Specially designed for foot and ankle trauma as the patient undergoes severe distal circulatory diseases, such as diabetes or distal thromboembolisms. When recovering from distal circulatory diseases, such as diabetes and distal thromboembolism, Shoebaum® provides user’s with comfort and effectiveness. Shoebaum’s® Special Dynamic Three Module Shock-Absorbing system (Heel-flat-toe,) reduces the impact of the gait on injuries, promoting the fast recovery of soft tissue trauma and stable fractures. It is also an effective tool for lower limp rehabilitation, as well as a post-operative immobilization device. It also benefits patients with diabetic neuropathies given that Shoebaum® substantially reduces the impact and compression of the micro vascular structures of the foot and ankle.
Indications: Shoebaum® is mainly used for: • Ankle Sprains (2nd and 3rd degree). • Injuries to the bone (foot and ankle). • Ligament and tendon Injuries (third distal tibia and fibula). • Foot, Ankle, or distal tibia fractures stabilized with plates and screws and immediate postoperative ankle rehabilitation and reconstruction surgeries. • Achilles heel fractures. • Diabetic or Non-Diabetic Foot Ulcers.
Features + Benefits: •Dynamic Three Module Shock-Absorbing system (Heel-flat-toe) that reduces the impact of the gait on injuries, promoting the fast recovery of soft tissue trauma and stable fractures. • An embedded air pressure pump with a release valve to inflate areas of the sock that provides a better distributed support and comfort. • Convenient Velcro® Straps for fast and easy adjustment. • Easy front access to supervise wounds without removing immobilization. • Removable "Toe-Bumper System" that protects the injured toe from impact. • Anti-vibration and Impact - absorbing EVA sole. • Shoebaum® acts as a cast replacement, and makes it easier to walk compared to a traditional cast. The Shoebaum® Shock Absorbing Walker Boot contains an anti-slip vibration resistant soft EVA sole. It consists of three individual platforms that act as shock absorbers. Each platform has separate buffers, a total of three for each platform, which leads to a perfect gait when walking with the boot (Heel - Flat – Toe). When walking with Shoebaum®, the foot stays still and there is no rotating the foot during walking. As the user walks and makes contact with the boot and the ground, each of the three shock-absorbers work independently to reduce impact and promote a perfect gait. Shoebaum® also maintains compression in the posterior tibial artery and midline pedia constant, an excellent feature for a diabetic foot or circulatory disorders such as varicose veins.
Description: Heaterbaum is a self-regulated Foot & Ankle Heating Pad designed for any user suffering from circulatory problems on the feet, diabetes, reynou syndrome, varicose veins, cold feet, recurring varicose veins problems, intensive care units, post-operatory, and patients suffering from distal edema caused by cardiovascular diseases. With the Heaterbaum, the user is able to effectively control the temperature of the device and match it with his/her body temperature. The Heaterbaum's temperature can be adjusted with a UL listed remote control to match the temperature of the body to the feet.There is no heating pad in the market that can operate at a fixed numeric temperature like the Heaterbaum. What can be normally found are devices that adjust to pre-fixed temperatures that are not even specified, labeled as “low,medium,high.” Almost no user is able to handle the “High” temperature setting for over five minutes. At the “low and medium” temperatures, the user commonly experiences skin irritation. The Heaterbaum was designed to help the user, while limiting these known side effects. The Heaterbaum was primarily designed to regulate and match the overall body temperature with the feet's temperature, using a high quality disposable sock that provides maximum comfort and aesthetics. The product provides precise temperature thermostat and time control limits to the assigned temperature.The Heaterbaum has been introduced as a Foot & Ankle device. Future generations of the Heaterbaum are in the design process for wrists, elbows, and/or shoulders. Future Heaterbaum products will feature heat & compression therapies at the same time.
Product Features: ● Anti-Allergy Sock, with pores to free and ventilate humidity, or body sweat. ● covers the whole foot & ankle area. ● Pressure adjustment by use of Velcro straps. ● Temperature regulated sock. The temperature line is incorporated within the sock. It is positioned all the way from the posterior part of the ankle, reaching the heel to the sole and the fingers. ● Self-Regulated, high precision UL Thermostat for exact temperature regulation. ● This device effectively regulates the user’s desired temperature. For Example, if the user’s feet temperature is low, or 34 degrees Celsius, and his/her body temperature is the normal 37 degrees Celsius, such user is able to match the body’s temperature to that of the feet. ● This device’s temperature can be regulated in two versions, Celsius or degrees Fahrenheit. ● One-Size-Fits-All
Indications: This product is a foot & ankle heating pad for any user suffering from circulatory problems on the feet, diabetes, reynou syndrome, varicose veins, cold feet, recurring varicose veins problems, patients in intensive care units, post-operatory, recovery rooms of post-operator, and patients suffering from distal edema caused by cardiovascular diseases.
