Turning Adversity into Innovation: How ProsFit Is Revolutionising Prosthetic Care

At just 17, Christopher became a bilateral amputee and encountered an outdated, painful, and inaccessible prosthetic care system. Rather than accepting the status quo, he and his father decided to challenge it and, in doing so, launched a journey that would transform prosthetic care for countless people.

ProsFit harnesses digital technology, 3D printing, and human-centred design to provide prosthetics that are not only functional but comfortable, affordable, and life-changing. In the latest episode of the Promoting Enterprise Podcast, Christopher shares the deeply personal story behind the company, from the spark of innovation born out of lived experience to the rigorous process of navigating EU regulations and securing funding.

He reflects on how necessity and empathy drove him to create solutions that meet the needs of amputees, while also addressing the challenges faced by an entire healthcare system. “We understood the system was broken,” Christopher explains, “and somebody needed to do something about it. So why don’t we dedicate our lives to making this happen?”

Listeners will also gain insight into ProsFit’s pioneering approach: integrating 3D scanning, printing and software to achieve a 95% success rate for custom prosthetic sockets — far above the industry benchmark. Beyond the technology, Christopher highlights the importance of mission-driven entrepreneurship, collaboration and persistence in creating meaningful, lasting change.

Looking ahead, Christopher will be one of the speakers at this year’s SME Assembly, sharing his insights on medtech innovation, entrepreneurship and the future of healthcare with a European audience. His story is a testament to how resilience, creativity and purpose can drive business success and profound social impact.

Whether you’re passionate about healthcare, technology, or inspiring entrepreneurial journeys, this episode is packed with insights, lessons, and hope for anyone looking to make a difference.
