Surgical departments send patients home the same week, and whatever the patient walks out in has to protect the repair without a nurse adjusting it every day. Da Gao has built that category since 1995: post-operative and cast footwear, knee and ankle immobilisers, shoulder slings and cervical collars, in full size runs, on one ISO 13485:2016 certified site in Shanghai. Distributors serving surgical departments buy the whole shelf here rather than assembling it from four workshops.
Pain Points
What Goes Wrong Today
- Dressings change volume through recovery so footwear sized to a bare foot stops fitting by week two
- Ward stock runs out at the ends of the size curve first because suppliers ship an average assortment
- Immobilisers bought from different workshops close differently so ward staff have to relearn each one
- Procurement asks for quality system documentation that a small workshop cannot produce
- Reorders arrive with a different sole stiffness or strap length and the department notices before the buyer does
Requirements
What This Segment Actually Needs
- Post-operative footwear that clears a bulky dressing and still closes on the same strap
- A size run that reaches paediatric at one end and XL at the other under one article family
- Immobilisers that a nurse can fit and refit without retraining between brands
- A supplier working under a medical device quality management system
- Consistency between the first order and the fifth order on the same article number

FAQ
Questions Buyers Ask Before Ordering
Can you supply the whole post-op shelf or only the shoes
The whole shelf. Post-operative and cast footwear, knee immobilisers, ankle splints, shoulder slings and immobilisers, cervical collars and clavicle supports all come from the same site.
Do you have paediatric sizes for surgical wards
Yes. The post-op shoes run from Children through XL and the Cast Boot Square Toe Pediatric DG-027 is built for children in S M and L.
What quality system do you work under
ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 13485:2016. ISO 13485 is the quality management standard written for medical devices, which is what most hospital procurement files ask a supplier to hold.
Is Da Gao registered in my market
The site holds ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 13485:2016. Market registration such as CE or FDA is a separate process handled with the buyer, so tell us the destination market and we will confirm what documentation is available.
How consistent are repeat orders
The patterns and lasts are established rather than re-cut per order, and the range has been in production since 1995. That is what keeps the fifth delivery matching the first on the same article number.
What is the minimum order quantity
It depends on the article mix and the size assortment. Email [email protected] with the list you are planning and you will get the figures for that specific order.
