Welcome to C-Pro Direct

C-Pro Direct became the European agents for Mitchell Designs as a result of the experiences we had following the birth of our son, Anthony, in July 2004. Anthony has bilateral clubfeet.

After doing a huge amount of research, we decided that we wanted Anthony to be treated using the Ponseti method. This method involves manipulation of the feet over a number of weeks into the correct position. Each manipulation is held in place by plaster casts. Following the casting, the child has to wear a brace (consisting of a pair of sandals joined by a bar, which hold the feet at a particular angle) initially for 23 hours a day for 3 months, followed by a gradual lessening of the hours to 12-14 hours until the child is approx 4 years old. We were advised by Dr.Ponseti that the usual type of brace would not work for Anthony as his feet were atypical, so he advised us to try and get hold of the Ponseti brace, designed by a brilliant craftsman, John Mitchell, in Iowa.

John Mitchell kindly made a brace for Anthony. We were so delighted with the results – Anthony’s feet continued to correct whilst in the Ponseti brace - that we felt it was important for all children who needed the Ponseti brace to have access to it.

So we contacted John Mitchell, with a view to becoming his European agents, and he kindly agreed. We now sell the Ponseti brace (which has been designed in conjunction with Dr. Ponseti himself), as well as a clubfoot model, rubber legs for plaster cast practice, and a set of wall mounted plaster casts which show the difference in cast shapes throughout the treatment.
