American Prosthetic Components

What American Prosthetic Components does

American Prosthetic Components (APC) is a Green Bay, Wisconsin-based private manufacturer and B2B distributor of modular connection components for lower-limb prostheses, founded in 1994. The company sells a 294-SKU catalog spanning aluminum, stainless steel, titanium, carbon fiber, and plastic components organized into categories including pylons, adapters, clamps, receivers, pyramids, locks, fasteners, alignment options, and fabrication supplies. Its product line is rated across weight tiers from pediatric (132 lbs) through standard (220-365 lbs) to heavy-duty/bariatric (500 lbs), with proprietary features such as water-resistant fasteners and optional custom color etching. APC distributes its own brand alongside third-party brands such as Cascade Locks.

The company operates a direct-to-O&P e-commerce model, selling to certified prosthetists and orthotists through its website (quote, list, and purchase-order workflows), a toll-free phone line (1-800-772-7508), and account-based ordering. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Marketing is minimal, relying on the storefront, a monthly newsletter, links to industry associations (AOPA, AAOP, NAAOP), and a referral relationship with Myrdal Orthopedics; the company maintains no social media presence, mobile app, or public API.

Revenue mechanics are one-time hardware sales with no subscription or recurring component, sold into a fragmented US prosthetist customer base. The company has 11-50 employees, no disclosed institutional funding, no patents or certifications in the public record, no international operations, and no M&A history, indicating a small, narrowly scoped, and stable business that has operated without material scaling for three decades.
