Hosmer is a manufacturer and distributor of innovative prosthetic and orthotic products. Hosmer is a leader in upper extremity prosthetics and is continually expanding their production line of lower extremity prosthetics. The Hosmer Dorrance Corporation began in 1912 when D.W. Dorrance, an amputee, invented the first split hook out of dissatisfaction with the terminal devices available at the time. Thanks to his inventive nature, he continued to solve problems he and other amputees faced, establishing Hosmer as a well respected leader in the orthotics and prosthetics industry. Beginning with simple improvements and... electrical devices, Hosmer led the industry in myoelectric components and technology. In 1996, Hosmer joined the Fillauer Companies, Inc. in a concerted effort to meet the needs of their growing customer base with as many products and options as possible. Hosmers product line includes upper and lower extremity orthotic and prosthetic products with a specialty in hands and knees. Presently Hosmer is lead by Karl Hovland, President and C.O.O., Rich Platt, V.P. of Operations, Jeremy Crowell, Director of Central Fabrication and Clay Bergren, Customer Service Manager.
