Touch Bionics, the makers of i-Limb, have unveiled a new product called ProDigits.  This is the worlds first bionic finger solution for anyone missing fingers or thumbs.

Now simple tasks for me and you, like holding a cup of coffee or a fork, are a reality to the unfortunate people who are missing fingers or a thumb.  Most people in this situation have had an unfortunate accident.  The estimated amputee population that could benefit from such a device is around 1.2 million worldwide and at around 40,000 in the US alone.

You can download the PDF digital brochure here.
