Ortho Active Announces Exclusive Canadian Distribution of ST&G USA Extreme Limb Makeover Product Line
Vancouver, BC – March 30, 2026 — Ortho Active Appliances Ltd. (“Ortho Active”), a leading Canadian distributor of orthotic and prosthetic solutions, is pleased to announce that it has been appointed the exclusive distributor in Canada for the ELM (Extreme Limb Makeover) product line by ST&G USA Corporation.
The ELM product line represents a highly specialized range of medical-grade silicone materials and solutions designed to support clinicians in the fabrication of orthotic and prosthetic devices. This system enables a level of customization in socket comfort that has historically required highly specialized equipment. As a result, patients report improved comfort, enhanced range of motion, and increased activity levels. Additionally, users have noted reductions in skin redness, pinching, blistering, and perspiration.
Through this exclusive partnership, Ortho Active will lead all commercial activities in Canada, including sales, marketing, regulatory support, and customer engagement. ST&G will continue to support Canadian customers through direct drop shipment of materials, ensuring efficient and reliable product availability nationwide.
“This partnership marks an exciting step forward for Ortho Active as we continue to expand our portfolio of advanced prosthetic solutions,” said Dale Tiessen, General Manager of Ortho Active. “The ELM product line brings a new level of artistry and patient-specific customization to the Canadian market. We are proud to support clinicians in delivering exceptional outcomes for their patients.”
“We are thrilled to expand our longstanding relationship with Ortho Active through this exclusive partnership in Canada,” said Kari Rich, Executive Vice President at ST&G. “Ortho Active has been a trusted partner to ST&G for many years, and their deep relationships within the Canadian prosthetics community, combined with their commitment to service and education, make them the ideal organization to grow the ELM brand and support clinicians in achieving outstanding patient results.”
As part of the partnership, ST&G will provide comprehensive training support for Canadian clinics, including both in-person and remote education. Ortho Active will work closely with clinics to coordinate training, provide documentation, and offer ongoing commercial and technical support.
The addition of the ELM product line further strengthens Ortho Active’s position as a trusted partner to prosthetic clinicians across Canada, offering innovative materials and solutions that enhance both clinical performance and patient satisfaction.
