Overview of Limber Prosthetics
Limber was founded in 2020 by two PhD engineering students and a long-time prosthetist. With expertise in materials science, structural engineering, and prosthetics, they undertook the challenge to bring life changing mobility to amputees who could neither afford nor access prosthetic care. After 4 years of trials and failures, the Limber UniLeg was created.
Our Ask
Limber is seeking impact focused potential funding sources to support our near-term funding goals along with our desire to build an “adopting funding” strategy that seeks to give underserved communities and amputees access to life changing mobility.
Product or Service
The Limber UniLeg is the world’s first fully 3D printed below-knee prosthesis that is dynamic, durable, and affordable. With an ultra-personalized, lightweight, and water-resistant design, it provides optimal comfort, functionality, and performance for patients at a lower cost compared to traditional prostheses. For clinics, the UniLeg creates a new, high velocity revenue stream selling additional prostheses while dramatically increasing margins of their current revenue streams. For patients, the UniLeg delivers an high performance prosthesis with excellent energy return in a solution that is ultra-lightweight, worry-free, and affordable.
Company Impact
The prosthetics industry has tried for years to adopt 3D printing to lower costs and increase clinic efficiencies. However, solutions to date have fallen well short of expectations, relegating 3D printing to orthotics and diagnostic or test sockets in prosthetics. The Limber UniLeg is the first fully 3D printed below knee prosthesis that is dynamic, durable, and affordable. Tested to ISO industry standards and having passed all regulatory hurdles, the UniLeg proven to be functionally equivalent to devices costing 5-10x more yet being 1/2 the weight and far more durable that traditional devices. Beyond commercial success, however, Limber can make prosthetic care affordable to the >95% of amputees worldwide who have no access to prosthetic care.
Primary Audience
From a go-to-market perspective, the primary audience are the certified prosthetists (CP) at clinics. CPs are the gatekeepers to amputee care, and they will benefit from new revenue and higher margin revenue.
Of course, the ultimate beneficiary are amputees who will have a high performance, durable, and affordable prosthesis. LImber has a strategy to market to both.
