Commercial prosthetic fingers are poorly designed to suit the needs of thousands of amputees globally who require strong, low-cost prosthesis to continue working in labor intensive trades. Currently finger prosthesis are primarily cosmetic, are not designed to withstand heavy loads, and may cost up to 00. Builders Prosthetics International seeks to establish a sustainable, non-profit company that will design new product lines of robust finger prosthesis, innovate small-batch injection manufacturing technologies, and develop an international distribution system to deliver low-cost, effective prosthesis to thousands of amputees globally. The prosthetic tool exhibited in this movie was successfully designed, fabricated, and utilized to rehabilitate a professional carpenter who had been previously unemployed for 2 years since a serious work related accident. The prosthetic tool is easily fabricated with a simple “small-batch” reaction injection molding process, the socket is then modified to fit the amputee, and the device is finally anchored via a specialized glove. Each prosthetic tool (including glove) can be sold profitably at under . Through designing and distributing such prosthetic tools, Builders Prosthetics seeks to empower thousands of amputees globally involved in labor intensive occupations to regain much of their occupational capacities.
