Paediatric prosthetics, reimagined

Prosthetics that grow with every child.

Sprout is a research-led prosthetics company building adaptive, feather-light limbs designed around how children actually move, play and grow. We pair clinical rigour with bold engineering to give young people independence that lasts.

What sets us apart

Innovation that puts the child at the centre.

Most prosthetics are scaled-down versions of adult devices. We start from a blank page — engineering every component around growing bodies, shorter attention spans and bigger imaginations.

Adaptive by design

Modular sockets and limbs engineered to be re-sized as a child grows — reducing costly full rebuilds and clinic visits.

Research-led

Every design decision is grounded in biomechanics, materials science and the lived experience of the children who wear them.

Faster to fit

Digital scanning and additive manufacturing compress the path from first appointment to first steps.

Made for play

Durable, water-friendly and customisable, so a limb fits into childhood — not the other way around.

Research & development

A research engine, not just a clinic.

Sprout invests continuously in the science of paediatric mobility — from socket comfort and gait analysis to control systems and lightweight composites. We collaborate with clinicians, universities and families to turn questions at the bedside into devices on the bench.

Our goal is simple and ambitious: to set the standard for what a children's prosthetic can be.

The challenge with kids

Children grow.
Most prosthetics don't.

A child can outgrow a prosthetic in months — meaning families face constant rebuilds, waitlists and cost. Sprout's adaptive platform is engineered to keep pace with growth spurts, activity levels and the way a child's needs change year to year.

  • Grows with the childAdjustable components extend the usable life of every device.
  • Lighter on small bodiesComposite materials reduce fatigue so kids can wear it all day.
  • Designed to be lovedColours, patterns and finishes chosen by the child who wears it.
  • Built around the whole familyClear, supportive care from referral through to follow-up.

One adaptive platform — built to keep pace with growth.

Our technology

The engineering behind the smile.

A platform of complementary technologies, each chosen to make children's prosthetics lighter, smarter and more human.

Manufacturing

3D digital fitting

Precise scanning and additive manufacturing for sockets shaped to the individual child.

Materials

Lightweight composites

Strong, durable, ultra-light materials that respect smaller, growing bodies.

Control

Intuitive control

Responsive systems exploring myoelectric and pattern-based control for natural movement.

Adaptive

Modular architecture

Components that re-size and reconfigure as a child grows and their goals change.

Engagement

App-connected rehab

Playful, gamified tools that turn rehabilitation into something kids want to do.

Activity

Purpose-built limbs

Specialised attachments for sport, swimming and everyday adventure.

How it works

From referral to first steps.

A clear, supportive journey designed to reduce stress for families and get children moving sooner.

Connect

A family or clinician refers a child. We listen, and map out goals together.

Assess & scan

Digital assessment and scanning capture exactly what each child needs.

Design & build

We engineer and personalise an adaptive device — the child helps choose the look.

Fit & grow

Fitting, training and ongoing adjustment as the child grows and thrives.

Voices

Built around the people who matter.

The team treated our daughter like a kid first and a patient second. For the first time, her prosthetic felt like it was made for her life.

I picked the colours myself. It's light and I can run again. I forget I'm wearing it.
