Lytra
Custom prostheses cost $3,000–$40,000, yet can’t meet the simplest need: taking a shower.
Lytra is an affordable shower leg for below-the-knee amputees. Inspired by the Eames leg splint, it forms medical-grade polypropylene sheet into structure: modular, user-assembled, every part replaceable.
Proteus sheet (medical-grade polypropylene), silicone gel, rubber outsole.
