We can just scale it up and down as we like to on the PC because we use 3D software and then we can print it.
And actually, the smaller it is, the cheaper it is for us.
I mean, some prosthetic foot for adults, it's much more expensive.
For adults, if you think about cost-wise, it would be several hundred euros.
And compared to what, for instance, insurance companies used to pay to suppliers, it's usually something in the area of 1,000, 2,000, 3,000, depending on the mobility of the patient, of course, how sportive they are and stuff like this.
And we also charge in this area, so we can directly be reimbursed by the insurance company.
Nothing changes there for our customers, which is really helpful to them.
Yeah, far less.
For a child prosthetic foot, it's something between 800 euros and 1,200 euros.
No, it's different.
It's really difficult.
It really depends on where you are insured.
So if you're privately insured or publicly insured here in Germany, we have a big public insurance system, which is really nice.
But it's also very, very difficult because every insurance and there are more than 200 out there in Germany alone.
Everyone has their own prices.
But it's roughly you can guess some area and then the medical supply store, they have to do the work in the end and get the reimbursement.
We can only provide a cost estimation, but usually we fit in there.
And even for public insurance, not only for private insurance, which pays much, much more than what I mentioned.
Actually, it were roughly slightly more about 30.
But officially, I have to state this very clearly, officially, we mostly sold prototypes.
