MCPDriver™
Upper LimbThe MCPDriver is a mechanical finger driven by the user’s residual digit strength and motion, to mimic anatomical gestures of the middle and distal phalanges. Custom-fabricated to within millimetres of the individual’s residual fingers, the device follows the natural movement of the finger to regain fine dexterity.
This body-driven device is suitable for patients with a finger absence between the proximal interphalangeal (PIP) and metacarpophalangeal (MCP) joint. The MCPDriver is constructed using rigid stainless steel linkages which are anchored onto a comfortable backplate system, to allow for the residuum to carry out natural grip patterns whilst maintaining optimal strength.
Key Features
Can be made for multiple finger amputations on one hand, and used in conjunction with the PIPDriver and ThumbDriver
Functional force of the device at the fingertips is reflective of the user’s input force
Power hook grasp posture effectively transfers load to the suspension around the wrist allowing objects of a substantial weight to be lifted
‘Cage’ structure of the device protects the hypersensitive site of amputation without making physical contact
Silicone rubber tip pads mimic the natural fingertip and provide additional grip
Available in ten colour coatings
Restores multiple movements including pinch, key and cylindrical grasps, as well as grip stability
