The company is named after Össur Kristinsson, an Icelandic prosthetist who developed the breakthrough silicone interface for prosthetic sockets, the Iceross® liner. Himself an amputee, Mr. Kristinsson was motivated by his own needs and entrepreneurial spirit. Building on that pioneering tradition, Össur has added numerous life changing products to its portfolio. Among them are dynamic braces such as the Unloader One®, clinically proven to relieve the pain of knee osteoarthritis, and the Power Knee™, the world's first motor-powered prosthetic knee.

Össur product solutions are globally recognized under brand names such as CTi®, Rebound®, Miami J®, Unloader®, Iceross®, Pro-Flex®, Proprio Foot® and Rheo Knee®, all of which have been developed to improve people’s mobility and quality of life.
