Custom limbs, braces, referrals, and a deceptively local moat

Bottom line

Worth studying, but do not buy without strong local proof.

Orthotics and prosthetics clinics design, fit, fabricate, and service custom braces, artificial limbs, diabetic shoes, and mobility devices for patients referred by physicians, hospitals, rehab centers, and insurers. It is a boring healthcare services niche with durable demand from aging populations, diabetes, amputations, sports injuries, and post-surgical recovery.
