Yes. There are orthotic device suppliers and fabrication partners that specifically work with custom, patient-specific builds for rehabilitation clinics—especially for AFOs, KAFOs, SMOs, spinal orthoses, and post-op support devices.

Common types of suppliers to look for:

  • Custom orthotics labs/fabricators
    They build devices from casts, scans, or measurements and often serve rehab, PT/OT, and orthotics/prosthetics clinics.

  • Patient-specific digital orthotics companies
    These use 3D scanning, CAD/CAM, and sometimes 3D printing to make more individualized devices.

  • Orthotics-and-prosthetics distributors with in-house fabrication
    Some suppliers both sell prefabricated devices and do custom builds for clinical partners.

What to look for in a supplier:

  • Ability to accept 3D scans, foam boxes, or serial casts
  • Clinic-to-lab workflow with clinician portals or prescription submission
  • Support for AFO/KAFO/SMO/custom bracing
  • Fast turnaround and remakes/adjustment support
  • Clinical documentation support and patient follow-up options
  • HIPAA-compliant data handling if patient data is shared
