Tina's inspirational story

And the role of the Power Knee

Who are we?


At Össur, we pride ourselves on continuously pushing the boundaries to create some of the most effective, non-invasive mobility solutions on the market today. True advocates of “Life Without Limitations’’, our focus is on Prosthetic, Osteoarthritis and Injury Solutions.

Founded in 1971 by Össur Kristinsson, an Icelandic prosthetist who developed the breakthrough silicone interface for prosthetic sockets, the Iceross® liner, we now employ 4,000 staff across 30 locations and have grown to become a global leader in our field.

We have since added numerous life-changing products to our portfolio including the Unloader One®, a clinically proven brace to relieve the pain of knee osteoarthritis, and the unique SYMBIONIC® LEG, the world's first complete bionic leg incorporating Bionic Technology by Össur. These innovations have led to our recognition by the World Economic Forum as a "Technology Pioneer".
