Hanger Orthotics & Pros

What Hanger Orthotics & Pros does

Hanger, Inc. is a 160-year-old, privately held orthotic and prosthetic (O&P) healthcare services and products company headquartered in Austin, Texas. The company operates two business segments: a Patient Care segment delivering outcomes-based O&P clinical services through more than 925 Hanger Clinic locations across all 50 states, serving roughly 1 million patients annually with a workforce of 1,800 certified clinical providers; and a Products & Services segment that designs and distributes branded and private-label O&P devices, components, and post-acute rehabilitative solutions through subsidiaries including SPS, SureFit, Accelerated Care Plus, Hanger Fabrication Network, and acquired brands such as Surestep, Fillauer, O&P Insight, and Coapt.

The company's proprietary technology stack centers on the Adjustable-Volume Prosthetic Socket (AVS) — a novel socket architecture validated in a 400+ adult clinical trial (2023-2025) showing socket comfort scores rising from 5.59 to 7.16 (p<.001), plus microprocessor-controlled prosthetic components and outcomes measurement systems coordinated through the Hanger Institute for Clinical Research and Education. The company generates revenue through professional services fees for clinical care and hardware sales of O&P devices, with pricing quote-based and dependent on device specifications and insurance reimbursement.

Hanger's go-to-market is enterprise-field-sales driven: referral networks from physicians, therapists, and payors feed the clinic network; a dedicated 20+ person M&A team has executed 150+ practice acquisitions across 40+ states; and the Products & Services segment distributes through SPS, ACP, and acquired brand channels. The company maintains active partnerships (Aether Biomedical, UNYQ, Elevate Dynamics, Current Health, University of Hartford) and a venture investment arm (Hanger Ventures) for innovation sourcing.
