Introduction
Electronic Prosthetic Hands for Above-elbow amputees
Mand.ro – Prosthetic Hand Maker
We make not only functional, but also very affordable electronic hands with the price of smart phones. To do this, we utilize affordable technologies including low-cost embedded systems, and digitalized 3D process (scanning, modeling, and printing).
We also enable local maintenance with our open-sourced, but cutting-edge technologies, and we enable to use local sources of materials by conducting training workshops to the local people.
We have a full set of technologies from sensors to mechanics, from below to above-elbow sockets, and we will keep pursuing to have a total solution for upper-extremity amputees.
