Am I a "Private Customer" or a "Contract Customer"? What products can I purchase online?

Private Customer

Private customers are private individuals who can shop at any time without logging in or creating an account first. You will be asked to create an account when you place your order. As a Private Customer, you have access to a limited selection of our catalogue in the webshop. Some products can only be prescribed by doctors or other medical personnel. Please contact us if you have any questions.

Contract Customer

How do I go about when ordering SafeHip as a contract customer?

Some local government agencies and municipalities subsidize hip trousers, meaning that they can be ordered free of charge. In other municipalities, the end user may receive their first hip trouser free of charge but must pay for additional ones themselves. In still other places, the end user must pay for the full value of all trousers themselves. At NordiCare, we strive to make it easy to order the SafeHip, regardless of which system is applicable to your situation:
