Simple Design Works Ltd

Over the last two years, we've been working with award-winning prosthetic manufacturer Blatchford to develop Avior - a groundbreaking microprocessor-controlled knee that's transforming mobility for amputees worldwide.

The challenge? Creating a device that's simultaneously lightweight yet robust and technically advanced yet intuitive to use.

We worked across multiple areas of the project including enclosure design, materials engineering, user interface development and production readiness. All while meeting strict IP65 protection standards plus weight and tolerance constraints. But if you know us well, you'll know that we love solving a complex brief.

The result? A responsive prosthetic knee that delivers 48-hour battery life, natural biomechanical performance and genuine peace of mind for wearers.
