There are 70 million people who need prosthetic limbs around the
world. Sadly, limb loss is up to 100 times more common in low-resource
regions of the world. Current prostheses are rigid, uncomfortable,
over-engineered and prohibitively expensive – as in 10s of £1000s per
device. Because of this, 90% have no access to prostheses at all. Mitt
has developed easy-to-use, comfortable prosthetic limbs that are 100X
more affordable than any other solutions. This allows users to interact
with their environment, reaching their full potential within the
community.
With an affordable price point, and a device that can be fitted by
users themselves without medical intervention, we can provide direct to
the users and communities that need them, no matter how isolated from
medical infrastructure. Removing barriers and empowering individuals to
take control over their own disability.
Mitt’s ambition is to open up opportunities to people around the world by giving them the power over their own limbs.
