Hands On Prosthetic Engineering
Share
Pictured above is our newest Hulk Hands**
Did you know that on average one prosthetic device costs $5,000-$50,000 to create? These devices are also also created for those with traditional amputations/ deformities. Many of our clients do not have traditional amputations/deformities and/or they need a task specific device that is not available else where. Our devices are custom designed for each client!
While some may have access these medical devices, the financial burden it can put on families is extreme. Some amputees will receive grants to help pay for their devices however, many will not. HOPE’s devices are free to each child and veteran and cost approximately $20-$50 to create. By 3D printing we can drastically cut costs and help ease the financial worry!
*disclaimers: 1. these are for full grown adults without an amputation/deformity and it contains a grip bar, does not display accurate sizing for our clients. 2. We do not own any rights to the name hulk hands*
