The NK Gen 1 is designed for real life. If you or someone you love needs a prosthetic knee, we want to help you find the right path forward.
We make prosthetic knees that work where it matters.
NAVU is a South African prosthetics company building the device the global market overlooked. The NK Gen 1 knee is affordable, modular, and designed to be repaired in the field, not in a specialist clinic and not by a technician flown in from abroad.
We believe the gap between innovation and access in African healthcare is a design problem, and we are here to solve it.
