Rooted in their extensive experience and knowledge, Jaap and Wybren strive to make a significant impact on the well-being of orthopedic surgeons worldwide.
The beginning
Jaap and Wybren’s journey began during their training as orthopedic surgeons. Their shared dedication to the field quickly blossomed into a friendship extending beyond the hospital walls. This bond was further solidified when Wybren organized Jaap’s bachelor party.
Throughout their years of practice, both Jaap and Wybren noticed the physical strain that orthopedic surgeons often endure, particularly during knee arthroscopy procedures. They experienced firsthand the discomfort and long-term physical issues that could arise from the repetitive and sometimes awkward postures required. This shared challenge sparked an idea: to develop a solution that would not only improve their own working conditions but also benefit their colleagues around the world.

Leveraging their combined expertise and experience, they developed the Knee Arthroscopy Belt, a product designed to provide support and enhance comfort during knee arthroscopy procedures.
To ensure the effectiveness and scientific validity of their product, Jaap and Wybren initiated multiple studies investigating the physical complaints commonly experienced by orthopedic surgeons. These studies also focused on evaluating the specific benefits of using the Knee Arthroscopy Belt. Their research aims to provide robust, scientific evidence supporting the ergonomic improvements their product offers.
