         Deer Park, New York - January 13, 2003- Langer, Inc. (NASDAQ:GAIT)
("Langer") announced today that it completed the acquisition of Bi-Op, Inc
("Bi-Op). Based outside of Montreal, Canada, Bi-Op designs, manufactures and
distributes foot and gait-related biomechanical products, including custom-made
prescription orthotic devices, pre-fabricated orthotic devices and sandals, to

important step in expanding Langer's global presence. Currently, Langer
manufactures product for Canadian customers in our United States facilities.
Bi-Op's production facility will enable us to manufacture in Canada and better
service our Canadian customers. Canadian sales represent approximately 10% of
Langer's current custom orthotic business." Mr. Meyers further stated, "The
acquisition of Bi-Op enables Langer's management to utilize its expertise within
the O&P service business. This is intended to allow Langer to pursue
opportunities to expand in Canada within the O&P market both organically and
through acquisitions."

         Raynald Henry, the founder of Bi-Op, who will remain with Bi-Op in a
senior management position, said, "We are pleased to join with Langer and
participate in expanding Langer's presence within the Canadian market. Our
customers and employees will be provided with the advantages of being part of
one of the leading companies in the foot orthotic industry."
