History

A concise historical narrative of NAICS Code 423450-21 covering global milestones and recent developments within the United States.

  • The Orthopedic Appliances (Wholesale) industry has a long history dating back to ancient times when orthopedic devices were made from natural materials such as leather, wood, and metal. The first modern orthopedic appliance was the Thomas Splint, invented during World War I by British surgeon Hugh Owen Thomas. The splint was used to treat fractures and was made of metal and leather. In the 20th century, the industry saw significant advancements in materials and technology, including the development of synthetic materials such as plastics and composites. In the United States, the industry has seen a surge in demand due to the aging population and the rise in sports-related injuries. Notable advancements in the industry include the development of 3D printing technology, which has allowed for the creation of custom-fit orthopedic devices, and the use of robotics in orthopedic surgery.
