Founded in Dayton, Optimus Prosthetics provides custom prosthetic solutions for amputees, with care that follows patients from surgery through rehabilitation and beyond. Its Dayton clinic houses the company’s fabrication lab, allowing prosthetists and technicians to adjust sockets and produce 3D-printed check sockets close to the fitting room rather than relying on an outside lab. With clinics in Dayton, Columbus, and Cincinnati, Optimus also builds community through its annual Limbitless Drive amputee golf clinic and tournament.
