Re: France
Sounds a better way to do it to be honest.
I know several people here in the UK that were issued new crutches, braces etc. that were marvels of stainless steel and engineering and must cost quite a lot of money.
None of this stuff was internal, just external use kit.
When they were finished using them they asked about returning them.
"Oh we don't them back!" was the hospital's reply.
