DePuy Orthopaedics, Inc.
The DePuy Family of Companies DePuy was the first manufacturer of orthopaedic implants in the United States. The company was founded in 1895 when Revra DePuy, a salesman, revolutionized the fracture management industry by introducing wire splints to replace the makeshift wooden splints then in use for stabilizing fractures. DePuy is one of the world's leading orthopaedic companies, with a reputation for innovation in new product development. DePuy researchers were on the forefront of the total hip replacement concept introduced in the early 1960s, and it was this development that was primarily responsible for creating the orthopaedic market as we know it today.
