Southern California Prosthetics

What Southern California Prosthetics does

Southern California Prosthetics (SCP) is a privately held, single-location prosthetics clinic founded in 2009 and headquartered in a 6,500-square-foot facility in Santa Ana, California (Orange County). The firm designs, fabricates, and fits custom lower-limb prosthetics for amputee patients across four primary amputation levels — above-knee (transfemoral), below-knee (transtibial), knee disarticulation, and hip disarticulation — and serves additional specialty segments including pediatric amputees, partial foot amputees, foot drop patients, and osseointegration surgical cases. Patients access services via physician referral or self-referral, and the practice accepts insurance with in-house financial coordination.

The company's technical differentiation rests on three patents developed by co-owner Stan Patterson, CP — the Negative Pressure Vacuum System (NPS) socket, the POA XOS carbon fiber orthotic system, and the Olson low-profile socket for hip disarticulation cases. These are complemented by in-house CAD/CAM CNC socket manufacturing, proprietary medical-grade silicone liner fabrication using a custom urethane-silicone blend, and access to a national expert prosthetist panel via on-site video conferencing for complex case consultation. The firm also offers osseointegration services integrating Integrum's Opra implant system for above-knee amputees.

Commercially, SCP operates as a sales-led, direct-to-patient healthcare services practice with quote-based pricing driven by the highly customized nature of each device. Revenue derives from professional services (evaluation, fitting, fabrication, follow-up care) and hardware sales (custom components). Distribution is clinic-direct, supported by physician referral networks and a multi-channel digital presence (website, YouTube, social media, Wall of Hope patient storytelling). The firm draws patients nationally — including cases where patients fly from Atlanta — though the absolute scale is small (1-10 employees) and no external institutional funding has been disclosed.

Core offering

Southern California Prosthetics is a clinical prosthetics practice that designs, fabricates, and fits custom lower-limb prosthetic devices (transfemoral, transtibial, knee disarticulation, and hip disarticulation) using proprietary vacuum-suspension socket systems, medical grade silicone liners manufactured in-house, and CAD/CAM precision manufacturing. The practice serves amputee patients referred by physicians or self-referred, providing evaluation, custom fitting, fabrication, gait training, and ongoing follow-up care from its Santa Ana, California facility.

Product overview

Southern California Prosthetics is a prosthetics clinic offering a portfolio of lower-limb prosthetic solutions centered around four core prosthesis types (above knee/transfemoral, below knee/transtibial, knee disarticulation, and hip disarticulation), powered by proprietary technologies including the patented NPS (Negative Pressure Vacuum System) socket system and custom medical grade silicone liners fabricated in-house. The company differentiates through advanced manufacturing capabilities (CAD/CAM), osseointegration surgery services, the POA XOS carbon fiber orthotic system, and access to a national panel of prosthetic experts via video conferencing. Services include gait training, custom fitting, and ongoing follow-up care. Founded in 2009 by Rick Myers, a prosthetist with prior leadership roles at Flex-Foot, Ossur, and Freedom Innovations, the company operates a 6,500 square foot facility in Santa Ana, California.

Products and services

• Above Knee (Transfemoral) Prosthesis Custom transfemoral prosthetic limb using the double-wall NPS socket system with intimate fit, increased control, security, and comfortable trim lines for greater range of motion. For adult above-knee amputees.
• Below Knee (Transtibial) Prosthesis Custom transtibial prosthesis fitted with medical grade silicone liner fabricated on-site, prosthetic sock, and socket with vacuum chamber or expulsion valve. For adult below-knee amputees.
• Knee Disarticulation (Through Knee) Prosthesis Prosthetic system designed for knee disarticulation amputees, featuring lower trim lines and increased prosthetic control enabled by the longer residual limb.
• Hip Disarticulation NPS Prosthetic System Patented NPS-based prosthetic system for hip disarticulation (hemipelvectomy/transpelvectomy) amputees, using a lightweight carbon fiber disc with negative pressure suspension for high control and intimate fit.
• Osseointegration Prosthetic Fitting Specialized prosthetic fitting and rehabilitation for above-knee amputees undergoing osseointegration surgery, using the Integrum Opra implant system to enable direct bone-anchored prosthesis attachment and eliminate traditional socket discomfort.

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Össur: Major global prosthetics manufacturer (feet, knees, sockets) where Rick Myers previously held a senior operations role. Overlaps with SCP as a component supplier and broader-category incumbent serving amputee patients, though primarily a manufacturer rather than a clinic operator.
• Ottobock: Global leader in prosthetics manufacturing and patient care, with both component products (feet, knees, sockets) and Ottobock Patient Care clinics. A broad incumbent that overlaps with SCP in socket systems, knees, and feet, plus operates its own US clinic network.
• Fillauer: US-based manufacturer of prosthetic and orthotic components (feet, knees, liners, terminal devices). Comparable to SCP as an adjacent supplier of the socket and liner components SCP integrates into its custom builds.

Emerging players

• Integrum: Swedish medical device company behind the Opra osseointegration implant system that SCP fits for above-knee amputees. Directly comparable as the upstream technology partner for SCP's highest-growth, most differentiated service line.

Direct peers

• Next Step Orthotics & Prosthetics: Independent US O&P provider delivering custom prosthetic and orthotic devices with on-site fabrication. Directly comparable as a mid-sized independent clinic serving amputee patients with custom socket and liner solutions.
• BioTech Limb and Brace: Independent prosthetic and orthotic clinic providing custom lower-extremity prosthetics, sockets, and fittings. Comparable in scale and clinical service model to SCP.
• Hanger Clinic: The largest US operator of patient-care clinics for orthotics and prosthetics, serving amputees with custom prosthetic fitting across all lower-extremity levels. SCP explicitly positions against Hanger in its marketing, making it the most direct service-line peer despite Hanger's vastly larger national footprint.
• Prosthetic & Orthotic Associates (POA): Florida-based sister location and affiliate of SCP; co-owner Stan Patterson, CP runs POA and is the inventor of NPS and POA XOS used by SCP. Operates a parallel high-performance lower-extremity prosthetic practice with shared IP and overlapping clinical philosophy.
• Ability Prosthetics & Orthotics: Multi-site US prosthetics and orthotics practice offering custom lower-limb prosthetic fitting, sockets, and liners. Closely comparable in service mix (custom prosthetic device design, fabrication, fitting) and patient segment to SCP.
• Anew Life Prosthetics and Orthotics: Independent US prosthetics and orthotics provider delivering custom lower-limb devices with personalized fitting and follow-up care. Comparable in clinical service offering, scale, and patient mix to Southern California Prosthetics.
