CITO Produces Over 6,500 Prostheses in Three Years

Since 2022, the Center for Innovation in Traumatology and Orthopedics (CITO), part of the Rostec State Corporation, has manufactured over 6,500 prostheses. More than 30% of them feature microprocessor control. Patients can restore their motor function at CITO's specialized Rehabilitation and Prosthetics Center.

Microprocessor prostheses deliver a more natural gait and dramatically reduce the risk of falls. They quickly adapt to changes in terrain and the user's movements, improving quality of life and mobility. This technology is standard at leading prosthetic centers across Europe and worldwide.

 

CITO's microprocessor prostheses are designed for sports activities, including alpine skiing, snowboarding, wakeboarding, volleyball, swimming, weightlifting, and archery. They're manufactured using advanced materials: carbon fiber composites, titanium alloys, and high-strength silicone.

 

"Modern technology allows people after amputation to stay active in life," said Viktor Spektor, CITO's General Director. "CITO creates specialized technical rehabilitation aids: sports prostheses for running, volleyball, alpine skiing, and snowboarding."

 

Patient rehabilitation is handled by a multidisciplinary team of eight specialists, including prosthetist technicians, traumatologists, physical therapy physicians, psychologists, and physiotherapists.

 

CITO is also developing a knee module with a manual lock for above-knee prostheses. The device can support loads up to 125 kg. Serial production is scheduled for 2026, with an expected output of about 1 000 modules per year.

 

In 2025, the company introduced a split insole for prostheses designed for patients after partial foot amputation. The design preserves ankle joint mobility, allowing for more natural movement.
