About ReAble Labs
We're a Dublin-based engineering team building accessible, high-performance prosthetics. Our mission is to combine advanced 3D printing, modular mechanics, and thoughtful design to make prosthetics more practical, repairable, and human-centered.
ReAble Labs is currently in development - shaping the next generation of prosthetic solutions through collaboration and research.
Our Story
ReAble Labs began with a simple observation - modern prosthetic hands could be lighter, more modular, and easier to maintain. We saw an opportunity to combine 3D printing with tendon-driven motion systems to create prosthetics that were not only functional but also affordable and easy to adapt.
From our base in Dublin, Ireland, we've built a small but dedicated team of engineers and designers driven by one goal: to rethink how prosthetic technology is built, supported, and improved. We collaborate with clinicians, universities, and users to ensure every design reflects real-world needs.
The ReAble Hand represents the first step - a continuously evolving platform refined through iteration and feedback. It's not just a device, but the foundation for a new standard of reliability, repairability, and independence.
Our Team
Sean Barrett
Founder & Lead Engineer
Focused on mechanical design, electronics, and overall product development.
Luke Duffy
Co-Founder & Operations Lead
Manages operations, partner relations, and commercial strategy.
Our team works at the intersection of engineering, design, and rehabilitation science - united by a belief that technology should adapt to people, not the other way around.
Our Values
Reliability
We build systems that last. Every prototype undergoes real-world testing to ensure strength, safety, and consistency.
Empathy
We design with purpose. Each component is developed alongside clinicians and users to solve meaningful, everyday challenges.
Practical Innovation
We explore new technology only when it creates real value - simplicity, repairability, and better quality of life.
Dublin, Ireland
Our headquarters and prototyping lab are based in Dublin - Ireland's innovation hub for medical and engineering startups. We're proud to contribute to the region's growing prosthetics and rehabilitation research community.
