Our Methodology
The savings and production claims on our website are grounded in the following validated workflow.
1. Digital Capture & Design
Our workflow begins with a precise 3D scan of the patient's anatomy. This data is processed through our proprietary design software, which assists clinicians in generating a custom device model tailored to the individual's biomechanical needs.
The software incorporates clinical parameters and design rules developed through iterative testing with practising clinicians and rehabilitation professionals. This digital-first approach eliminates the need for traditional plaster casting, significantly reducing turnaround time and material waste.
2. Simulation & Pre-Production Validation
Before manufacturing, each device design undergoes computational analysis to verify structural integrity under expected loading conditions. This simulation step identifies potential weak points and ensures the design meets our durability and safety thresholds.
Our pre-production validation protocol was developed through extensive testing and refined during clinical deployments where devices were fitted and evaluated by real users in everyday conditions. The combination of computational checks and field-validated design rules gives us confidence in the performance of every device before it is printed.
3. Optimised Additive Manufacturing
Devices are produced using additive manufacturing (3D printing) with process parameters that have been carefully calibrated to achieve the right balance of strength, flexibility, weight, and surface finish for clinical use.
Our manufacturing profiles are the result of systematic material and parameter optimisation, ensuring consistent quality across production runs. This controlled process is what enables us to deliver clinical-grade devices at a fraction of traditional manufacturing costs, with significantly faster turnaround times.
4. Field-Validated Results
All cost savings and performance claims presented on this website are informed by real-world deployments across clinical and humanitarian settings. We have fitted devices to users through partner clinics and organisations, collecting feedback on comfort, functionality, and durability.
These deployments serve as the foundation for our pricing models and production estimates. We continuously refine our process based on user outcomes and clinician feedback.
Regulatory Commitment
We are committed to meeting the standards expected of medical device manufacturers.
Akrolimb is working towards compliance with the regulatory standards applicable to medical device hardware and software in the UK market, under the oversight of the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA).
Our product combines a physical prosthetic/orthotic device with design software that processes patient data and generates custom device geometries. We recognise that this integrated solution carries regulatory obligations, and we are building our quality and development processes accordingly.
Key areas of our compliance roadmap include:
- Quality management systems aligned with medical device industry standards.
- Structured software development lifecycle with documented requirements, architecture, and verification.
- Risk management integrated throughout the design and manufacturing process.
- Validation of our digital workflow from scan capture through to finished device.
- Post-market surveillance, including incident reporting and continuous improvement processes.
