PIPDriver™
Upper LimbThe PIPDriver is a body-driven mechanical finger, designed to restore length and dexterity using the intact PIP joint to provide DIP flexion/extension. This custom-designed prosthesis mimics the anatomical motion of the finger, as it is driven by the residuum using a self-suspended linkage system.
This prosthesis is intended for use on a finger absence at or just proximal to the distal interphalangeal (DIP) joint, where there is some joint range of motion and enough residual digit to engage the distal suspension ring at the PIP joint.
Key Features
Manufactured using medical-grade Nylon 12 to ensure it is a durable yet lightweight device
Articulation and force output are dependent on the length of the residual digit distal to the PIP joint, as well as the strength and range of motion of the affected PIP joint
Bespoke ring fabricated to the patient's residual digit size and length
Ten colour coatings available
Prevents hyperextension
Protects the site of amputation without making contact with the residuum end
Silicone rubber tip pads mimic the grip of a natural fingertip
Two nail options available: organic and minimalist
