Victoria Team Creates Hands
From: Medical Design Technology - 12/30/2016

A non-profit organization from Victoria, British Columbia has been creating
helping hands - literally.

According to The Globe and Mail, The Victoria Hand Project, led by Josh
Coutts, designs and develops customized prosthetic hands for those in
developing countries.

These hands are designed using a 3D printer.

The design of the hands is based on one developed by Nikolai Dechev, director
of biomedical engineering at  the University of Victoria who developed a
mechanical hand out of plastic and aluminum. The design included a Kevlar
cable to pull in the fingers for grasping. While it was innovative, it cost
$1,500 just to manufacture the parts and did not have a practical application.
