Grace Prosthetic Fabrication

What Grace Prosthetic Fabrication does

Grace Prosthetic Fabrication, Inc. is a privately held, family-owned central fabrication company founded in March 1990 in New Port Richey, Florida, that builds custom prosthetic and orthotic devices on behalf of orthotics and prosthetics (O&P) clinics across the United States. Its core offering is contract manufacturing — practitioners submit patient measurements and molds through a professional B2B portal or PDF order form, and Grace returns finished devices within a standard 3–4 business days for prosthetics and 7 days for orthotics, backed by a 90-day workmanship warranty. The company is ABC-accredited (perfect score since December 17, 2015) and is the inventor of the Grace Plate four-hole round socket adapter, which has become an industry-standard component with more than a dozen variants.

The technology stack layers traditional craftsmanship on top of CAD-CAM digitizing (Tracer CAD and Shapemaker, supporting SNML, Quad, NML, and Aggressive brim styles), in-house 3D printing for test sockets and finished prosthetics, and a dedicated Spray Skin cosmetic lab using flexible vinyl with water- and UV-resistant finishes. Product lines span above-knee, below-knee, upper-extremity, athletic, and specialized prosthetics; upper- and lower-extremity orthotics including Grace Gauntlets and CROW Boots; pediatric variants; and a dedicated Veterans Affairs service for VA facilities nationwide. Tony Culver has served as President since January 2019 after founder Ed's retirement, and the firm continues to operate as a closely held corporation with 11–50 employees and no disclosed outside capital.
