In May 2015, I set out on a challenge to develop a functional finger prosthetic that would not only be revolutionary, but would be accessible to anybody on the planet- for free.
The "Kinetic finger" is a body-powered device that has no complicated moving parts, and utilizes TPE flexible hinges to allow the finger to open and close in a realistic manner.
The design is unobtrusive, allowing the "Kinetic finger" to be used under work gloves.
During trial, finger amputees were able to pick
