Point-Designs Prosthetic Digits

Unlike traditional body-powered prostheses, which require active muscle contraction to maintain grip, the customized Point-Designs Prosthetic Digits feature a ratcheting linkage mechanism that both allows natural flexion of the finger(s) and locks it/them into position. Each digit also possesses a touchscreen-compatible fingertip. The company, committed to ensuring precise fit for every patient, provides no-cost size exchanges throughout the fitting process. Being made of titanium, brass, and stainless-steel components, Point-Designs digits can be washed and dried without risk of corrosion or damage.

Cost: One finger--$2,000-$20,000; hand--$30,00-$100,000
