Össur hf. and its subsidiaries are actively involved in the creation, advancement, manufacturing, and global distribution of non-invasive orthopedic medical devices. Their reach extends across Europe, the Middle East, Africa, the Americas, and the Asia-Pacific regions. The company's operations are divided into two main business units: Prosthetics and Bracing & Supports. The Prosthetics division supplies both mechanical devices, such as lower limb and finger prostheses, and cutting-edge bionic products. These bionic solutions, designed for amputees, incorporate microprocessor-controlled feet, knees, hands, liners, and other integrated components featuring sensors, computing power, intrinsic intelligence, and actuators.

These products serve both therapeutic and preventative purposes by stabilizing joints and other body parts, in addition to providing injury management solutions to aid the healing of fractures and ligament injuries. Össur's primary customer base consists of specialized healthcare providers, including orthopedic and prosthetic clinics, hospitals, and surgical centers. The company distributes its offerings through a combination of its own direct sales force and a network of third-party distributors. Founded in 1971 and headquartered in Reykjavik, Iceland, Össur hf. operates as a subsidiary of William Demant Invest A/S.
