Fingers get thumbs up
From: Servo Magazine - 01/2011 - page 37

Touch Bionics, developer of advanced upper-limb prosthetic technologies, has
won a Best of What's New Award for 2010 from Popular Science for their
ProDigits solution. 

ProDigits is the world's first powered prosthetic solution for people with
missing fingers. With ProDigits, Touch Bionics extended the technology
innovation behinds its groundbreaking i-LIMB hand to create a solution that
brings life-changing technology to partial-hand patients. The global
population that can benefit form the system is considerable - estimated to be
around 1.2 million worldwide - and before ProDigits such people had no
powered prosthetic available to them. 

"With ProDigits, I gain more independence. I can pick something up and walk
out to the car with it, rather than have to put it in a bag," say ProDigits
wearer. Eric Jones. "Most importantly, I'm able to take care of my kids -
play games with my kids, take them to school, make dinner. ProDigits helps me
with all that."
