15+ Transradial Prosthetics
A showcase of the prosthetic designs we created during our clinical trials — 4 socket variants and 4 modular hand attachments, each engineered for specific use cases. Every design weighs under 700g and costs approximately 50% less than existing alternatives.

Socket Design Portfolio
Standard Transradial Socket — Designed for medium to long residual limbs with good natural suspension. Our most commonly fitted design, offering a balance of comfort, fit, and ease of 3D printing.
Short Limb Socket with Bicep Support — An external harness mechanism developed for very short transradial amputations (less than 5cm below elbow). This design extends support around the bicep to ensure secure suspension where traditional sockets cannot grip.
Double Amputee Optimised Socket — Enhanced grip points and modified donning/doffing mechanisms designed specifically for bilateral amputees who cannot use their other hand to put on the device.
Ventilated Socket Design — Features integrated ventilation channels and breathable liner compatibility, developed in response to the hot, humid conditions in Gujarat that caused discomfort with solid-wall designs.
Modular Hand Attachments
Gym Hand — A flexible grip designed for weight training equipment. Engineered for deadlifts, barbell work, and resistance training with lifting strap integration.
Pen Grip Hand — A precision grip for writing instruments and eating utensils. Particularly valuable for double amputees, enabling independence in everyday tasks like eating and writing.
Standard Cosmetic Hand — A general-purpose aesthetic hand for social situations, light object manipulation, and balance support. Designed to be visually appealing while remaining functional.
Bike/Clutch Hand — A specialised grip for motorcycle and bicycle handlebar control, enabling riders to operate clutch and brake levers safely.
Design Principles
Every design follows three core principles: weight under 700g to reduce fatigue, modular quick-release wrist joints for swapping hand attachments, and optimised geometry for reliable 3D printing.
The modular wrist system allows patients to carry multiple hand attachments and swap them in seconds depending on their activity — gym, work, social, or commuting.
All designs are parametrically generated from 3D scan data through Akrolimb software, meaning each device is custom-fitted to the individual while following proven design templates.
Cost & Manufacturing
Total material cost per device is approximately INR 5,000 — around 50% less than available alternatives. Socket: INR 300–900 depending on size. Wrist Joint: INR 350. Hand Attachment: INR 250–750 based on complexity.
Every component is designed for FDM 3D printing with standard materials, making these designs reproducible by any clinic with a desktop 3D printer and our software.
The Cost of Outsourcing
In the UK, 70% of O&P design and manufacturing is outsourced — driving up costs, adding weeks of delay, and removing control from clinics.
Outsourced O&P Work
NHS clinics outsource the majority of their O&P design and manufacturing to external providers, adding significant cost and removing quality control from the clinical team.
Our Cost Reduction
Our pilot study delivered prosthetics at 50% less than existing alternatives. Our software and 3D printing model brings the same cost efficiency to UK and global clinics.
In-House Turnaround
With Akrolimb software and 3D printing, clinics can design and produce devices in-house within 24 hours — instead of waiting weeks for outsourced work to be completed and delivered.
