U.S. Orthotics

What U.S. Orthotics does

U.S. Orthotics, Inc. is a privately held, founder-owned orthopedic medical device manufacturer founded in 1979 and headquartered at 8605 Palm River Rd, Tampa, Florida, where it operates its manufacturing facility and R&D. The company designs, produces, and sells a broad portfolio of orthopedic braces and supports spanning spinal orthoses (Spina II/III/IV/VII, PRO-V series, PACO, Z-Cross), knee supports (ALTO ROM and ALTO UNI knee orthoses, KS neoprene sleeves), back and torso supports (Fullback XPA, lumbosacral supports), upper extremity products (cervical collars, arm slings), lower extremity AFO components, and pediatric orthoses. Notable engineering features include adjustable ROM hinges with stops at 0°–15°–30°–45°–60°–90°, a 6:1 mechanical advantage compression strapping system on Z-Cross spinal orthoses, and thermo-formable plastic inserts on the Fullback line. The product portfolio is broadly verified through PDAC and SADMERC coding for Medicare/Medicaid reimbursement, and the company holds Federal Supply Schedule contract # V797D-50480 with 300+ line items.

The company's business model is sales-led, generating revenue through direct phone/fax/email sales to healthcare providers (orthotists, prosthetists), sales through four authorized distributors (Cascade Orthopedic Supply, SPS, Pel Supply Co., Kingsley Mfg. Co.), and government procurement via GSA Advantage and additional BPA/DAPA contracts serving VA hospitals and federal facilities. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, with same-day shipping offered for orders placed before 1:00 PM EST. The company serves two primary customer segments: healthcare providers fitting orthopedic devices to patients (primary) and government healthcare facilities (secondary). It also operates OEM Products & Services for contract manufacturing and maintains an International ordering channel. Marketing relies on its corporate website, downloadable product literature, PDAC/SADMERC documentation, trade shows, and word-of-mouth referrals evidenced by long-tenure customer testimonials. The company is independently owned with no disclosed institutional investors, no parent company, and no subsidiaries.
