i-limb ultra Bionic Hand Moves Like Human Hand, Helps Arm Amputees Regain Dexterity

The i-limb ultra bionic hand made by Touch Bionics has revolutionized life for many arm amputees. Everyday tasks like getting dressed, brushing your teeth, tying shoe laces and driving a car are all made much easier with this durable prosthesis that features five individually articulating digits. Most myoelectric hands have a stationary thumb but with the i-limb ultra, people can use their other hand to manually rotate the electric thumb into a different position. Because every digit bends at the natural joints, this hand has a remarkably lifelike appearance and movement. There are multiple grip patterns that make it easier for people to do basic things like pick up small or thin objects such as coins or papers, type on a keyboard with their index finger and carry larger objects with two hands. The i-limb ultra has electronic wrist control options and comes with both a clear glove for a high-tech look or a flesh colored "skin" glove for a more natural appearance.
