Voor every situation, for you the best solution

Orthopedic technician

Stef van Rijn

Protec is the place for me where I can take the time to really get to know the customer in order to create the best possible prosthesis. At the same time, I can get to know and use innovative techniques and measuring equipment, which makes it a very pleasant workplace for me, where the customer receives the attention they deserve.

Movement trainer

Frank Dik

Since 1997, I have been training people with a leg prosthesis. In November 2018, I was able to turn this hobby into my profession at De Hoogstraat Orthopedietechniek. Together with the prosthetist and the client, I evaluate the walking technique and after that adjustments are made to the prosthesis where necessary. Walking is one of the most important activities to be socially active and what could be more beautiful than helping people experience the possibilities with just a few simple tips.

More about Frank
Branch manager

Ronald den Hertog

As a former Paralympic athlete and prosthetist, I know from personal experience how important it is to be able to move freely after an amputation. This journey has not only made me stronger but has also inspired me to help others in their quest. As the branch manager at Protec, I am dedicated to providing people, just as I was once helped, with a prosthesis that empowers them. I want to ensure that everyone can experience the freedom of movement, regardless of the challenges they face.

Directeur

Erwin Stokvis

Since August 2022, I have had the privilege of working for people with reduced mobility. In addition to managing De Hoogstraat Orthopedietechniek in Utrecht and Rijndam Orthopedietechniek in Rotterdam, I am also committed to Protec, where our prosthetists and technical staff dedicate themselves wholeheartedly to creating the best possible devices. Every person is unique, and so is their need for assistance. Customization is therefore a top priority for us.

Communications & marketing

Demi

What makes Protec special to me is that we truly take the time for our customers and continuously innovate to provide the best care. It’s wonderful to be able to share the inspiring stories of our customers. From a cranial helmet for a baby to a leg prosthesis for an adult – we help people of all ages. This makes my work challenging and valuable. The key is to tailor our communication in such a way that every customer and potential customer, from 0 to 100 years old, feels addressed and understood. And it is this diversity that makes my work unique every single day!

Personal stories

We are only happy, when you are

"It’s really strange to be able to see everything from a different perspective. I’m at eye level with others again. I can definitely feel it in all my muscles that I’m moving in a different way. The people in the apartment complex where we live were astonished when they saw me walking with crutches down the hallway. And when I first went to see my grandchildren with my prosthesis, my grandson was shocked when I stood at the door."

Read Frits's story

"Before, I sometimes spent an hour and a half in the fitting room without seeing anyone. I also had no idea what was being done to my prosthesis. Here, I sit at the coffee table, have a nice chat, and in the meantime, I quickly get a prosthesis that allows me to walk again. What more could you ask for?"

Read Pierre's story

"There was full attention, the prosthesis was immediately properly aligned. They do their very best, take all the time for you and are incredibly nice. After fitting, a gait analysis was also made of my gait. I can only say that so far I have received a very friendly welcome and that efforts are being made to do it right. I think it's a top notch company."
