Initially dedicated to the production of plantar orthoses, Bi-Op was founded in 1987 with a special mission: Harness the natural movements of the body, creating life-like devices that provide optimal biomechanical correction.

In 1993 Bi-Op enlisted the services of a biomechanical doctor and a podiatrist to perfect their knowledge and expand their range of products. A well-known prosthetics specialist from the Montreal Rehabilitation Centre joined the team in 1997. Since then, the company has formed strong alliances with several health and post-secondary institutions as well as various private and public research institutes. With its unique perspective on the world health stage and the benefit of an adjoining clinic, Bi-Op has been vested with a profound knowledge in the field of biomechanics.

Because of the greater role the production of prostheses took on, in 2000 Bi-Op once again added to its team a well-known prosthetist-orthotist from Sacre-Coeur Hospital in Montreal and the Marie-Enfant Rehabilitation Centre of Ste Justine Hospital. In May 2002, the company formed a partnership with Langer, the world’s leading producer of custom made plantar orthoses. In June 2004, a new division dedicated to the global distribution of superior precast devices was created.

From its start as a modest plantar orthoses laboratory with just a few employees to its current role as a major player in the orthopedics industry, Bi-Op markets its expertise on a global scale.
