STS Socks: Created By Doctors, For Doctors
After a collective 70 years as working podiatrists, Dr. Peter Graf and Dr. Richard Stess had had enough with the slow, cumbersome, messy process for creating plaster casts needed for custom foot orthotics and custom footwear. They knew there had to be a better way – so they invented it.
Custom Casting for Podiatrists, Orthotists, Orthopedic Surgeons, Veterinarians & More
In 1995, Drs. Graf and Stess brought their first casting socks, designed to make life simpler and faster for the podiatric practice, to market. They were an immediate hit.
Later, working in conjunction and collaborating with prosthetists, orthotists, orthopedic surgeons and veterinarians, other products were developed used in casting for different types of devices such as rigid AFO’s, gauntlets, sockets for prosthetic limbs, knee braces and casts to make specialized braces and splints for small and large animals.
In addition, STS Company manufactures casting products used for production of custom speed skating and high-end custom “dress shoe” footwear for non-orthopedic use.
