Co-founder & Managing Director

Core competence: bringing ideas and people together.

Frank has been self-employed since 1993 and, in addition to osentec, is still actively involved as a master orthopaedic technician and CEO at OT aktiv.

"Every time the doorbell rang for one of my regular patients with DFS, my heart sank a little as it usually meant they had a new wound. A new ulcer. A partial amputation, even. And all too often, the bell never rang again for this patient because he or she did not survive the consequences of the amputation.

I had to find a solution. A solution that would enable my patients to identify the problem before it could even become one. Finally, I stumbled across a study from the USA - and then it came to me. Five years of research and a lot of sleepless nights lie behind us, but now we're ready: osentec is up and running and ready to help people all around the globe.

From now on, that doorbell in my shop will hopefully only ring once a year - digitally, when our patients add a new pair of soles to their shopping basket!"

Core competence: working on a wide range of tasks in parallel

Before Lars took over at osentec, he worked as a consultant and engineer all over the world.

"My grandpa suffered from diabetes since his mid-20s and later also from DFS, so I know first-hand how much this limits you in your everyday life. My grandpa always struggled and could never romp or play with us as he would've liked.

When Frank came to me with his idea, I knew that this was something my grandpa would have wanted to have access, too. Being able to give people their freedom back by maintaining their mobility, that's what gets me out of bed in the morning. I hope that in the future, osentec will help so, so many parents and grandparents to be able to spend more time with their family.

My motivation is fueled by all our patients saying "if this had been available earlier, I'd still have both feet."
