UNYQ Launches First Collection of 3D Printed Upper Limb Prosthetic Covers
San Francisco, California (PRWEB) December 01, 2015 -- UNYQ today announced the expansion of its line of prosthetic covers to include options for upper limb amputees. Similar to the company’s prosthetic covers for above and below knee amputees, UNYQ’s arm covers are 3D printed and personalized to fit over the amputee’s prosthetic components.
The new upper limb prosthetic covers are available in the UNYQ Performance™ Collection, which is 3D printed from a strong polyamide. The new line is available in six designs including Next, Space Suit and Pixel. The designs come in six vibrant colors.
“The launch of our prosthetic covers for arms is a special day for UNYQ,” says Eythor Bender, CEO and cofounder of UNYQ. “We are thrilled to extend our collection of stylish personalized prosthetics to the upper limb amputee community.”
As with UNYQ’s entire line of prosthetic covers, the company strives for designs that are easy to wear, reimbursable by insurance, don’t interfere with the functionality and comfortability of the prosthesis and give amputee’s control over their appearance.
“For me, the look of the prosthesis is as important as its functionality,” says Bertolt Meyer, college professor, upper limb amputee and UNYQ user. “A stylish prosthetic cover gives me the option to turn my prosthesis into a fashion accessory. It’s not only a sign of my self confidence, but it has also given me more confidence.”
UNYQ prosthetic covers for arms are available for above and below elbow amputees.
UNYQ is redesigning prosthetics and orthotics using 3D printing, digitalization and data to create personalized devices that patients want to wear and enable clinicians to provide better care.
