Hundreds of people around the world lose limbs and finders in accidents, wars and in other situations, leaving them scarred for life, both physically and psychologically. To help such physically challenged individuals, there are various sorts of prosthesis to help them get back on their feet. But, there are hardly any artificial prosthetic that can replace a chopped off finger.

However, Touch Bionics, an artificial prosthetic firm specializing in upper-limb bionic technologies has announced the launch of an all new bionic finger called the ProDigits. This all new artificial finger will help the patients in gaining the capability to lift and hold things, thus providing them the same dexterity they had before with their organic finger.

As per the company, the ProDigits bionic finger is unique to each user and thus required intense personalization towards the patients. To achieve this, Touch Bionics has decided to collaborate with clinics and medical insititutions across the United States to ensure the maximum distribution of the bionic finger. The company has also established distribution relationships with clinical establishments across 40 countries.

According to Stuart Mead (CEO, Touch Bionics),

“Vocational and social re-engagement is very important to a patient’s rehabilitation after a traumatic event. Partial-hand injuries are, by their nature, challenging aesthetically and functionally. With ProDigits, our goal is to provide all that we can to reinstate a patient’s function and interaction with other people in their chosen lifestyle and career.”
