What Problem We Solve
Four Suppliers Is Four Chances for the Reorder to Change
No single small workshop covers shoes, splints, slings, supports, tape and walking aids, so buyers of orthopaedic soft goods usually run four or five suppliers at once. That means four quality systems to audit, four sizing logics to explain to customers, four sets of export documents and four chances for a reorder to arrive different from the last one. Da Gao makes all of it under one ISO 13485:2016 system, so the range consolidates without the catalogue changing.
One Quality System
ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 13485:2016 cover the whole range rather than one family of it.
One Sizing Logic
Size runs are graded from established lasts and patterns, so the fifth delivery matches the first.
One Supplier File
One set of certificates, one audit and one contact instead of four of each.

Certification. ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 13485:2016 quality management system certification. ISO 13485 is the quality management standard written for medical device manufacturers. It certifies the manufacturer’s system; it is not a CE mark, an FDA clearance or a market registration, and Da Gao does not claim those.
