TouchBionics’ prosthetic hand has won the 2008 Royal Academy of Engineering MacRobert Award and been recognised by Time Magazine. The i-limb Hand was launched in 2007 as the world’s first powered prosthetic hand to incorporate articulating fingers – five independently powered digits that open and close around objects in a more natural and anatomically correct way than any previous hand prosthesis.
