Boston Brace Inc

What Boston Brace Inc does

Boston Orthotics & Prosthetics (formerly Boston Brace Inc) designs, manufactures, and fits custom orthotic and prosthetic devices, with a primary focus on pediatric patients. Its product portfolio centers on scoliosis bracing under the Boston Brace family (Boston Brace Original, Boston Brace 3D, Night Shift, RC, Body Jacket, Overlap Brace, and Soft Spinal Orthosis), the Boston Band cranial helmet for infant plagiocephaly, lower limb orthoses (AFOs, KAFOs, SMOs, UCBs, hip abduction braces), Dynamic Movement Orthoses (DMO) for neuromuscular conditions, and prosthetic care for pediatric and adult populations. Manufacturing relies on CAD/CAM scanning and modification technology in place of traditional casting, enabling custom-fitted devices produced at the company's Stoughton, Massachusetts headquarters and distributed through a 16-clinic US network plus a UK clinic, with locations embedded in top-rated children's hospitals.

The company generates revenue through hardware sales of custom-fitted orthotic and prosthetic devices, professional clinical services delivered at owned clinics, and education and training programs for clinicians, supplemented by a Certified Partner Program that authorizes independent clinicians to dispense Boston O&P products. Pricing is quote-based per device, with insurance reimbursement processed through a dedicated Patient Billing Office. Customer acquisition is driven by referrals from orthopedic surgeons, pediatricians, and other physicians, supported by content marketing, patient storytelling (e.g., The Bill Miller Blog), and Facebook-based scoliosis and plagiocephaly support communities. End customers are highly fragmented across pediatric and adult patients, with no single account concentration disclosed.

Founded in 1970 by Bill Miller and Dr. John Hall, Boston O&P operated as an employee-owned private company for over five decades before being acquired by OrthoPediatrics Corp (NASDAQ: ORTH) in 2024, joining a publicly traded pediatric orthopedic medical device platform while continuing to operate under the Boston O&P brand. The company combines a legacy brand, proprietary CAD/CAM-enabled custom fabrication, a credentialed clinician ecosystem, and hospital-embedded distribution to anchor its position in non-surgical pediatric orthotic treatment.
