TAA 018: Pimp my prosthesis
I guess most of you still remember the days when artificial limbs - generally speaking - were ugly. Designed for function, not for style. They were off the shelf models with a standard look. While many prosthetists offered some sort of cover or another, more often than not they tried to imitate the look of the remaining limb. And often, very often, it wasn‘t even a good imitation. But luckily the days of ugly artificial limbs are over. Especially 3-D printing was a breakthrough. And small companies are sensing a market, talking to amputees and what they want and then having the guts to give it a go.
