Orthotics and Prosthetics Labs

What Orthotics and Prosthetics Labs does

Orthotics and Prosthetics Labs (O&P Labs), founded in 1986 and headquartered in Springfield, Massachusetts, is a regional patient care provider specializing in custom orthotic and prosthetic devices. The company operates three clinical offices in Springfield, Northampton, and Pittsfield, serving patients across Western and Central Massachusetts, Northern Connecticut, and Southern Vermont. Its clinical scope spans custom prosthetic limbs (including microprocessor-controlled knees from Ottobock and Bionic Power, advanced feet from Össur, and innovative socket systems from Martin Bionics and BOA), custom orthotic solutions (spinal orthoses, lower-limb orthoses, knee braces, and THRIVE/Thuasne advanced AFOs and KAFOs), pediatric devices (STARband cranial remolding helmets, Surestep, Cascade DAFOs, Benik splints), and therapeutic/diabetic footwear (Orthofeet, Apis) with custom foot orthotics.

The technical backbone is an on-site fabrication lab equipped with 3D printing, Vorum scanning and CAD/CAM systems, Rodin4D Windows-based CAD with cranial scan comparison and limb volume tracking, and Voxel 3D scanning that replaces traditional plaster casting. This in-house capability drives faster turnaround (days versus weeks), in-process quality control, and the ability to perform cosmetic finishing or repairs while the patient waits. The company is ABC-accredited, contracts with Medicare, Medicaid in four states, and most major commercial payers, and is the only firm contracted with Baystate Health for O&P care. Additional value-adds include the Clinic Connections referral program, a bi-monthly Western MA Amputee Support Group, and an annual Technology Day hosted with Proteor.

The business model is a direct, physician-referred, insurance-reimbursed patient care service. Revenue is generated through custom hardware sales (prosthetic and orthotic devices) and associated clinical services, with most devices covered in part or in full via prescription. The company was acquired by Ortho Dev America Corp (ODA), a division of France-based Eqwal Group, on March 31, 2023, and continues to operate under the same management team with a footprint of 11-50 employees.
