Hand surgeon looking for prosthetic help
Hi all,
I am a hand surgeon. I just got a Bambu A1 and started thinking about the clinical applications for patients with an injury or amputation.
1. I’ll start plugging patients in with enabling the future, thanks for that.
2. Even for fingertip amputations, there is a psychological component. Many patients don’t care, but some are pretty distraught and self conscious about it. There are companies that make “aesthetic prosthetics” for fingertips - a silicone nonfunctional fingertip that goes over the residual finger and looks very natural.
Is there a version of this I can make that is 90% as good but doesn’t cost me a lot of time or money and I can just give patients for free?
I’m not really sure where to start. What material would be best?
Thanks!
