In Europe the Bioness is just getting more attention. However the pricing is quite a bite higher (€8100). Therefor I am looking into the possibility of buying one in the US and prefably a used one/second hand.

Is anyone willing to help me in buying one and shipping it to Europe?

Best regards,

Kurt (Netherlands)

Kurt - I seriously doubt you would be able to get a technician to calibrate a used Bioness. You might want to try asking a Bioness distributor before you spend any money or time trying to find one in the U.S.

I highly doubt anyone who has the device would get rid of it so I really have no idea where you may find it.

I wonder if the UK price would be a bit less as the £ is not so hot right now to the €.

Kurt,

Are you aware of this UK product? http://www.odstockmedical.com/PatientsSite/ODFSpace.html

Looks very similar with raised heel activation except signaling is not wireless?

I just started researching and this looks to sell in the U.S. for near 80% less. Without insurance coverage this looks like a worthwhile alternative.

They list a Netherlands Distributor:
