What Exos does

Exos is a medical device brand specializing in thermoformable external musculoskeletal stabilization systems, operating as a wholly-owned brand under Enovis Corporation (formerly DJO LLC), a private medical technology company headquartered in Wilmington, Delaware. The brand designs and commercializes orthopedic bracing products for spine, upper extremity, and lower extremity pathologies, structured around three sub-brand lines (Exos Spine, Exos Upper Extremity, Exos Lower Extremity) built on a shared proprietary thermoformable technology platform.

The core technology enables clinicians to mold braces directly to a patient's anatomy during the clinical encounter, producing a customized fit, comfort, and stabilization profile. The thermoformable material is described as lightweight, waterproof, easily cleaned, and radiolucent, allowing reformability and adjustment over the treatment lifecycle. This in-clinic customization workflow is positioned as the functional differentiator against conventional off-the-shelf orthopedic bracing.

Exos operates a hardware sales revenue model, monetizing through direct sales to healthcare professionals (surgeons, clinicians, orthotists) via a sales rep locator and through e-commerce channels including DonJoyStore.com for direct patient purchases. The primary customer segment is healthcare professionals who prescribe and fit the bracing, with patients serving as the secondary downstream user. Distribution extends globally across North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and Africa, leveraging Enovis's broader commercial infrastructure. Pricing is not publicly disclosed. Founded in 2007, Exos raised approximately $1.125M across two early-stage rounds (2008 and 2010) prior to integration within the Enovis portfolio.
