Company description

Spraino Manufacturing ApS has specialized in controlling friction in the shoe-surface interaction.

We are an ambitious research team that aim to make life, sports and play more fun. We do that by preventing injuries, pain and alleviate gait problems. We believe that we represent a new paradigm for solving the many problems where improper ground reaction forces plays a pivotal role – by controlling those forces.

Our proprietary product development and testing is conducted in our own mechanical models and clinically with our Danish and international university research partners.

We have close to full funding for our development activities including a recent grant from the Independent Research Council of Denmark.

Product description

We have already developed our Spraino® patch that is our MVP that reduces the injury causing forces on the ankle by more than 90% without compromising on comfort or freedom of movement – unlike ankle braces. Spraino® realigns the foot before the injury happens. In a large RCT we have demonstrated that 58% af the serious noncontact ankle injuries is prevented.

Currently we aim to build our technology directly in to shoes in order to make the prevention hazzle-free and improve design. We have therefore developed a lowfriction material that allows us to mold the low friction areas into shoe soles. That makes it possible to apply our ideas to markets outside our proof of business in the relative limited sports disciplines previously addressed.

The compelling use within welfare tech will therefore be explored to a few relevant niche groups. The initial target groups are chronic lateral instability, dropfoot, cerebral paresis and club foot.

However, the technology will be applied in shoes for larger groups such as fall prevention in elderly and safety shoes.

Our technology allows for preventing both falls and help gait problems with excessive plantar pressures. We are currently in the process of filing for an additional patent and thus the design will only be communicated following a signed NDA – but we are happy to engage in a dialogue prior to that.
