French congenitally disabled boy received a 3D printed fake hand

In recent years, 3D printing, a revolutionary manufacturing technology, has been widely used in the medical field. On August 17, a French boy with a congenital disability received a tailor-made 3D printed prosthetic.

According to French media reports, Mark Sans, a 6-year-old boy from Isère in eastern France, is born without a right hand. With the help of e-Nable, a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing 3D printed prosthetics for the disabled, Mark Sans got a fake hand made with a 3D printer according to his palm size. This 3D hand is made of plastic, sponge, elastic band, 8 screws and velcro. It looks like a glove. Mark Sans does not need to undergo any transplant surgery, he only needs to use a Velcro to fix it on his arm and can use it directly, and control the "finger" flexion and extension by bending the wrist up and down. Shortly after wearing the fake hand, Mark Sans realized a simple action such as throwing a tennis ball with a "right hand".

Traditional medical prostheses are generally expensive, and as they age, children and adolescents in growth and development will have to change prosthetics frequently, resulting in significant costs. The production of a standard 3D printing prosthetic hand costs between 50 euros and 200 euros, and the materials used are easily repaired and reused. Once the prosthesis is damaged or its size is no longer suitable for the user, you can always recreate it using a 3D printer.

In addition to reducing the cost of use, the personalized design also makes the 3D printed prosthesis bid farewell to the ugly, heavy shape of the traditional medical prosthesis, more like a toy. According to Mark Sans's own wishes, his 3D printing "right hand" is mainly composed of bright orange, green and blue colors, and is printed with a unique symbol symbolizing "superheroes".

Founded in the United States, this non-profit organization aims to provide open source digital design models for 3D printed prosthetics and to bring together 3D printer volunteers around the world to provide 3D printed prosthetics to people with impaired fingers, hands or arms to improve them. life. To date, the organization has provided approximately 2,000 3D printed prostheses to children and adults with disabilities in 37 countries.
