Ever-Tenacious Össur to Ring NASDAQ Closing Bell
Reykjavik, Iceland - (November 9,  2009) - Jon Sigurdsson,  president
and CEO of Össur Hf., celebrated the company's tenth year of  trading
publically on NASDAQ OMX by  ringing the NASDAQ stock market  Closing
Bell in New York City today.
The listing has served the  Company well. Since the initial  listing,
sales have grown  more than  twenty times and  Ossur has  transformed
from a Prosthetics Company into  a global player in the  non-invasive
orthopaedics.
Össur  is  the   proud  Icelandic  developer   and  manufacturer   of
non-invasive orthopaedics that has survived a most challenging  year.
A global leader in its category, the company has weathered the  storm
thanks to its clear focus on improving people's mobility through  the
delivery of innovative technologies within the fields of bracing  and
supports, prosthetic limbs and compression therapies.
"Our outlook has always been on a global scale, and this thinking has
served  us  well,"  said  Mr.  Sigurdsson,  a  World  Economic  Forum
TechPioneer  alumnus.  "It  is  especially  fitting  that  we  should
celebrate this honor in  the United States,  where we have  extensive
operations and have enjoyed an increase  in sales in the 3rd  Quarter
of this year," he added. Össur is  best known as the purveyor of  the
Cheetah Flex-Foot, the prosthetic device of choice for elite  amputee
athletes like Oscar  Pistorius who recently  challenged the IAAF  for
the right to  compete against able-bodied  athletes in the  Olympics,
and won. It is also  the first company in  the world to bring  bionic
prosthetic feet and  knees to  market, including the  RHEO KNEE,  the
POWER KNEE,  and the  PROPRIO FOOT.  In the  past five  years,  Össur
acquired a number of orthopaedic  companies, and is renowned for  its
proven solution for Knee Osteoarthritis, the Unloader One brace.
