X Limb revolutionises prosthetics through modular design and industrial production, solving the problems of high cost, poor fit and uniform aesthetics with ‘universal fit + affordability’. The socket integrates the BOA Dynamic Adjustment System with a ruler-like structure and knobs to fit 90% of all residual limbs without customisation. The standardised three-way joint supports plug-and-play compatibility with any leg tube diameter/shape, allowing for DIY assembly or online purchase. Joints with a four-link mechanism mimic natural gait, and a knee housing ensures safety. The use of 3D printing technology and large-scale production reduces costs, making the prosthesis 1/10th the price of traditional models, while eco-friendly carton packaging and localised production reduces the carbon footprint by 60%, in line with World Health Organisation standards. Socially, priced at 20 per cent of the monthly income of low-income groups, the prosthesis has enabled more than 500,000 users globally to regain mobility and employment opportunities, advancing technology inclusion and social equity. XLimb rejects the stereotypical image of ‘medical devices’ and gives prosthetics a human touch with its low cost and freedom of customisation, promoting integration of people with disabilities and social equity.
