English translation:orthotic device
Explanation:
Alternatively: orthosis. "Orthotic device" and "orthosis" are listed in Cressy's Medinsk och Farmaceutisk Ordbok under the entry "ortos." It appears that a couple letters in the above source term (most likely, the source text) were accidentally transposed -- hence the confusion.

NB assuming this is a typo for SV "ortos"

Example sentence(s):
  • Orthoses are braces or splints that serve to improve the position of a joint
  • Designed to support, protect and prevent deformity of the hip joint, this orthosis is used to prevent excessive hip flexion or extension and to limit hip abduction
