OPT SurgiSystems S.r.l.

OPT was founded back in 1919, just a few years after World War I, when the Italian State set up a small orthopedic workshop in every region for manufacturing prostheses. Mario Cristofolini, OPT’s founder, was the first manager of the Trento workshop who then went on to become its owner when the State opted for privatization. Making the most out of the experience he had acquired, Mario Cristofolini made the surgical and medical needs of the time his priority. Between 1930 – 1932 taking advantage of the creative skills of his collaborators, Mr. Cristofolini began to design and produce his first orthopedic operating tables.
