Össur acquired Naked Prosthetics, provider of durable, custom, and functional finger prostheses for finger and partial hand amputees.
The mechanical devices are designed to mimic the finger’s natural motion. The deal addresses the traditionally underserved, yet growing population of patients with finger and partial hand loss. Naked Prosthetics’ portfolio bolsters Össur’s upper limb product portfolio.
Naked Prosthetics has about 70 employees and is based in Olympia, Wash. Last year the company generated $21 million in sales.
"Naked Prosthetics has developed functional and high-quality finger prostheses that complement our product portfolio and add an important range to our upper limb product offering, Sveinn Sölvason, president and CEO of Össur told the press. “The acquisition strengthens our global market position, and we are pleased to welcome the employees of Naked Prosthetics to the Össur team."
Bob Thompson, CEO of Naked Prosthetics, added, "Össur's global reach and expertise make them an obvious and welcome next step for Naked Prosthetics' goal of getting more finger amputees back to work and doing what they love. We are excited to join forces with the Össur team and continue to grow the partial-hand prosthetic market."
