  CASTS

  Profiles are stored at the laboratory six months from the date that they are received. On occasion, positive casts are shattered during our high pressure thermoforming pressing process and this may result in casts that are damaged beyond repair of identification. Since this is unavoidable, we may request you provide our laboratory with new negative casts. LBG Medical cannot be held responsible for recasting costs. Orthotic device replacements due to broken shells may require new casts.

  LBG Medical will not be responsible for any costs associated with furnishing new casts. In order to incorporate all of the bio-mechanical aspects of the foot, while allowing for charges in the structure of the foot, LBG Medical strongly recommends recasting in this instance.

It is our policy to issue credit note refunds for all products returned in their original packaging and condition within 30 days of purchase. Due to continuous product updates, after this time no returns are accepted and no credit note will be raised. Unless the product is faulty, the cost of returning items to the company is payable by the purchaser. We will not accept return of goods unless prior authority has been obtained from LBG Medical Ltd, nor will we accept goods back which have been specially ordered or manufactured to the requests of the customer.

  REFURBISHMENTS

  Patients will probably wear their orthoses all day, every day and will therefore inevitably show signs of wear and tear. LBG Medical offer a total refurbishment service, which involves completely stripping devices down and re-building them back to their original prescription.

  Alternatively if a patients device only requires a recover, this can be done at a reduced price.

  We do not offer a refurbishment service for customised sandals.
