SPAN AMERICA MEDICAL SYSTEMS INC

SPAN AMERICA MEDICAL SYSTEMS INC operates within the established Orthopedic, Prosthetic & Surgical Appliances & Supplies sector (SIC 3841), manufacturing and distributing advanced orthopedic supports, bracing systems, and related surgical accessories that serve hospitals, clinics, rehabilitation centers, and athletic programs seeking reliable mobility solutions. The company emphasizes bioengineered materials and precision fitting techniques to meet demand from orthopedic surgeons and prosthetists focused on patient recovery and performance, with distribution channels that blend medical supply wholesalers and direct institutional partnerships. Despite a legacy of consistent product innovation, the business still faces material risks associated with regulatory compliance under FDA medical device oversight, reimbursement shifts in government and private payor environments, and supply-chain sensitivities for specialized polymers and components, factors underscored by its most recent Form 10-K filing in December 1999. Investors reviewing legacy filings should assess how these operational risks evolve with modern health-care regulations, and they can check live SEC filings on Earnings Feed for up-to-date disclosures.
