(“OrthoPediatrics” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: KIDS), a company focused exclusively on advancing the field of pediatric orthopedics, announced today that the Company gained distribution rights to bring additional bracing solutions to the US market through its OrthoPediatrics Specialty Bracing (OPSB) division.
OrthoPediatrics’ OPSB division has established a distribution agreement with Thrive Orthopedics LLC focused on three unique pediatric orthotic solutions. The Thrive Orthopedics F3 Hero Pediatric AFO is a lightweight carbon fiber ankle foot orthosis that provides the stability needed to improve walking while allowing flexibility and energy return at the correct moments to produce a more normalized, smooth, and dynamic walking pattern.

The TruStretch Pediatric Equinus Brace® is an innovative “above the knee” bracing solution that provides optimal stretching of the gastroc-soleus muscles for children with equinus deformity. The Thrive® Pediatric X-Glide Carbon Fiber Insoles come in both rigid and flexible foot plate styles and offer low profile and lightweight gait training tools.

I am so proud of everything we are advancing to help more KIDS with non-operative care. The distribution agreement with Thrive Orthopedics represents the next phase of our planned growth, bringing more innovative solutions to children around the world.”
