Love your new prosthesis or your money back
Going private can feel like a big step, but our money-back guarantee means it’s completely risk-free

If you're an amputee...
You might have experienced poor-fitting prostheses that end up working against your goals…
Causing you discomfort
So that wearing your prosthesis is never pleasant, even though you need it every day
Reduced freedom
Because you can’t always push through the pain
Putting barriers on your life
You can’t rely on it, sometimes forcing you to pass on the things you’d love to do
Affecting your physical and mental health, and eventually even your confidence
Maybe you've experienced...
- Increasingly long wait times for the prosthesis you rely on
- A socket that doesn't fit you properly
- Or socket that's actually painful for you to wear
- And when you talk about these issues, you find prothesists who don't seem to listen to your concerns
- Or even make you feel like you're the problem
The truth is, you're not.
In almost all cases, your problems are caused by an ill-fitting prosthesis.
And they’re completely avoidable.
A different fit, a different life
Getting your perfect fitting prosethic doesn’t just rid you of those problems, it offers you a happier, more fulfilling life.
Enabling your freedom
Because a prosthesis you can rely on means you can do what you love without second-guessing yourself
Keeping you comfortable, all day long
A proper fit lets you put your prosthesis on in the morning and forget about it
And affording you new opportunities
Because that comfort and freedom gives you the confidence to make the most of life’s important moments
A prosthesis that works for you, or no charge
Don’t wonder if your prosthesis could be better ever again
- Barry Rudduck
I’m Chris. I’ve spent my life building prostheses for amputees of all types.
Upper, lower, traumatic, vascular, and congenital – you name it, I’ve done it.
Over the years, I’ve helped thousands of amputees get prostheses that enable them to live the life they want.
So I know the exact reasons why most prostheses aren’t fit for purpose.
It’s because…
- Waiting lists
- Decreased funding
- And skill shortages
… mean there simply aren’t enough resources to give you what you need.
The decline of prosthetic services in the UK is startling, and it’s frustrating for the prosthetists too.
It’s a large part of why I went private.
I don’t want to see people having to settle for half-measures.
I want to help people get their dream prosthesis because when they do – it changes their life.
And my process means you’re guaranteed a prosthesis that works for you, or there’s no charge.
Here’s how it works.
The AAA Process:Your 3 steps to a perfect prosthesis
Getting your perfect fitting prosthesis doesn’t just rid you of those problems, it offers you a happier, more fulfilling life.
Assesment + Cast
In our first face-to-face meeting, we’ll have a chat! Going through a full review of your needs and your story so we can craft the perfect prosthesis for your needs. At the end, I’ll take a cast or digital scan of your limb.
Analytic fitting + Home trial
A few days later, your prototype prosthesis is made! Together we’ll check the alignment of the socket and make adjustments until you’re sure you’re comfortable wearing it.
You’ll take your prototype prosthesis home and live with it for up to six weeks. Doing all the things you normally do (and maybe a few that you don’t) to make sure you’re happy with the fit.
And I’ll check in with you to see how it’s going throughout the process.
“I couldn’t believe that I got my prosthesis socket so quickly, I just couldn’t get my head around how it could be made in a couple of days.”
Adjustment for comfort + Finishing
In case of any discomfort, I’ll make another socket based on your feedback and we’ll do another home trial to be certain it’s right for you.
Once you’re happy, I’ll finish the prosthesis in the design and colour or covering that you’ve asked for. The components you want are also fitted at this stage.
Your freedom, delivered to your door
We’ll then do a final fitting to make sure it all works.
You’ll put on your perfect-fit prosthesis.
And start living your life the way you want to.
It’s that easy.
This whole process can be done at your home too!

Three guarantees
You've got two options: Pain-free or no-fee
Going private can feel like a risk, which is why I want to make sure it’s crystal clear that it’s no risk at all.
Because I guarantee
Guarantee 1
Comfort
Guarantee 2
Control
Guarantee 3
Confidence
Or you can return it and I’ll return your payment in full.
"I assumed the only time anybody went private was if they were really loaded or had insurance."
And while we’re on the subject, you should know 3 things about the prostheses I make for people like you.
A good-fitting prosthesis lasts a long time
If your residual limb’s shape and volume is settled, you can expect your prosthesis to last a minimum of 3-5 years with good care before it needs minor repair, while the socket can easily last up to 10 years.
- Andrew Gregory
It costs, on average, about the price of a cup of coffee each day
If your prosthesis lasts 8 years (and remember in most cases all that’s required is minor repair) your new prosthesis costs less than a cup of coffee a day.
And when you consider what you get for that price, it adds up to a whole lot more than what you can get at Starbucks.
I offer payment plans on all my prostheses, so you can spread the cost
Every single prosthesis I make can be taken on a payment plan, meaning you can find a way to make your new prosthesis work with your finances.
And all of that means one simple thing...
Your dream prosthesis without the dream bank account
At this point you might be thinking “But how much does it actually cost?“
It depends on whether you’re an upper or lower amputee, on whether it’s above or below the joint, and on what you need it to do.
At least, that’s what most private prosthesis companies hide behind.
But I’m the first and only prosthetist who’s public about prices.
Because I believe it prevents people who need a proper prosthesis from reaching out because they’re imagining the worst.
Simply navigate to my prosthesis price guide.
And you’ll see an estimate of your prosthesis starting cost.
Want to know within a few minutes whether the price works for you?
Do what you want, when you want
While you'll get a prosthesis that lasts...
While on average it'll cost less than a cup of coffee a day...
And while I offer payment plans to spread out that cost anyway...
A comfortable prosthesis is about what it empowers you do
Like
- Being as active (or not!) as you want
- Booking holidays without worrying whether your prosthesis will stop you from participating
- Never worrying about developing a sore or bursa
- Enjoying long walks with loved ones
- Running, dancing, and strutting
In other words, a prosthesis that works for you, is one that works for your unique lifestyle.
Not to mention the transformation of having a comfortable fit that enables you to control your movements the way you want.
The right prosthesis means one thing:
“I couldn’t walk anywhere, there was so much pain. I thought it was permanent because that’s what they’d told me. I was house-bound. But with Chris’ prosthesis, I was back on the top of the world, walking across his car park backwards and forwards. No pain at all.“
- Elaine Robinson
No decision necessary for 3 months
Remember, on average it takes just 1 week from our initial assessment and casting to getting your test socket.
You wear it until you’re certain it works for you.
And then it’s just 2 more weeks to get the finished prosthesis either right to your door or in my clinic, where you’ll put it on for the first time…
And feel that confidence that comes from a prosthesis that really, truly fits you.
And at that point you’re still not locked in.
You can wear it within the 3 months, and if you decide it’s not right for you simply send it back and I’ll return all payments you’ve made up to that point.
Whether you’ve taken advantage of a payment plan or not.
That’s my guarantee. And I stand behind it.
Because I only want you to have a prosthesis that you love.
And if you don’t, you’ve lost nothing.
So how do you get from here to there?
It all starts with you reaching out for a quick chat about what you really need.
"If I'd known how it would change my life... I'd never have waited so long."
I’ve seen so many people wait to reach out…
Only to be surprised by how easy, affordable, and life-changing the process is.
If you’re reading this, I don’t want that to be you.
All I want is for you to know whether or not this whole private prosthesis thing is right for you.
No more wondering, guessing, or day dreaming.
Just an answer. Whether that’s a yes or a no.
And you can do that by taking me up on my world-class guarantee, that gives you a prosthesis that you can wear for up to 6 months and still return and get your money back.
Of course you could wait longer. There’s nothing wrong with that.
Maybe you’re concerned that you won’t like me.
Maybe you’re still weighing up your options.
Or maybe you’re just not sure about the cost.
That makes sense.
All I’ll say is this:
Waiting another year or longer has a cost for you too.
The opportunity cost of living with a prosthesis that’s not fit for purpose.
Whether that’s what you miss out on due to…
- Discomfort
- Pain
- Damage to your physical and/or mental health
Or even the simple lack of confidence that comes from the above
It’s what I’ve seen time and time again — missed opportunities.
I’ll do everything I can to help rid you of those problems and stop missing out.
And if I can’t, you pay nothing.
All it takes to find out is a quick chat on the phone.
I promise there’ll be no pressure whatsoever.
And it might just change your life.
“Chris is an amazing, inspirational guy, I really admire him. He’s a person of such authenticity it eclipses everything else.”
- Edward Tennant
“Go and talk to him. Because he’s honest. If he didn’t think he could help someone he would say so.”
- Jacob Smith
“We were upfront with our expectations – we don’t have a huge amount of money. He’s a kind man, I don’t think he charged us what he could have done. I was really grateful to him for that.”
