What Gyromotics does

Gyromotics is a privately held Dutch medical device company headquartered in Delft, the Netherlands, that designs, develops, manufactures, and sells tailor-made modular prosthetic feet under its "Nova" product line at €1,500 per unit. The company was originally founded in 2017, went through a restructuring in late 2023, and relaunched its commercial operations in 2024 under the leadership of founder Guido Hendriks. It employs between 1 and 10 people and currently offers two core SKUs — the Nova pediatric prosthetic foot and the Nova Adult variant — both featuring modular architecture with customizable springs, adjustable stiffness, split toe and split blade geometry, waterproof construction, and construction in Space Grade Titanium and Carbon Fiber, available across EU shoe sizes 25 to 46 and compliant with ISO standards.

The core technology is a modular prosthetic foot system in which a Certified Prosthetist Orthotist (CPO) can swap parts, adjust stiffness, and perform repairs on-site without sending the device back to the manufacturer. Each foot is tailor-made to the user's body measurements, intended use, and aesthetic preferences (the latter in collaboration with shoe designer Lori Jacobs). Gyromotics generates revenue through direct e-commerce sales via its website and through a CPO partner channel that handles professional fitting; international institutional distribution is being built via partnerships with rehabilitation centers and hospitals (UNBROKEN in Lviv, Ohmatdyt National Specialized Children's Hospital in Kyiv) and an R&D agreement with the Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute.

The go-to-market combines direct-to-consumer online sales, sales-led in-person demonstrations (with Guido Hendriks traveling internationally), and event-driven visibility at industry conferences and Paralympic-aligned showcases including the 2024 Paris Sports4All Innovation Summit and the planned ISPO World Congress 2025 in Stockholm. The company's primary customer segments are pediatric prosthetic users (its design-founding segment), adult prosthetic users, the CPOs who fit them, and healthcare institutions serving amputee populations. The underlying business model is hardware sales of single-unit, custom-built prosthetic feet priced for compatibility with health insurance reimbursement requirements rather than premium pricing.
