The Yellow Cross, the Symbol for our Orthopedic Technology Sector

Colored crosses are often used as a symbol for certain organizations or professions;

So it says;

the Red Cross, the symbol for the international aid organization as doctors,

the Blue Cross, the Symbol for Veterinarians,

the Green Cross, the Symbol for pharmacists,
the White Yellow Cross, the Home Nurse Service Symbol,

 

Now the Yellow Cross, the Symbol for our Orthopedic Technology Sector, 

The paramedical profession of Orthopedic Technologist in Spain has had the “Cruz Amarilla” or the “Yellow Cross” as its symbol since 2006. This idea was launched in the year 2000 by the Spanish Professional Association FEDOP, “Federación española de ortesistas protesistas”. In 2011, this Spanish professional association transferred the rights to this Yellow Cross to INTERBOR free of charge.

INTERBOR subsequently obtained a license for the Benelux (with registration number 935521) and the European Union (with registration number 12012498) through a patent office. INTERBOR is licensed by the Yellow Cross, the License of which is in the name of Mr. Edmond Deschoolmeester and in turn transfers to the International Foundation Papa Jack V. R. .

The International Foundation Papa Jack V. R. wants to make an agreement to every European National Professional Associations so that they have the right to make a personal agreement to their Orthopedic companies in their country.

After Spain (FEDOP), the next country was Belgium (BBOT). This is the logical consequence of the fact that Interbor was founded in Belgium in May 1958 during the world exhibition and its seat used to be in Belgium, just like the presidency is held by one Belgian. With their national professional association, the “Belgian Professional Association for Orthopedic Technologies (BBOT)”, Belgium wants to ensure that this Yellow Cross of the orthopedic sector becomes just as well-known in the streets as the Green Cross of pharmacists, the Blue Cross of veterinarians, etc.


In this way it contributes to the promotion of the beautiful social and human profession.Other Member States are already following and will soon also promote this nationally.

Do you, as a National Professional Association in your Country – and in Europe,

If you wish to make use of the Yellow Cross in your country for your orthopedic companies,
please contact us to draw up a usage agreement;
