Finger amputee prosthetic named Hong Kong Best Design at TechStyle for Social Good 2019

15 Jul 2019

We feel so proud to know that Miss Wendy Law has recently received the Hong Kong Best Design Award among the 12 finalists at the Techstyle for Social Good International Competition 2019, with her Human Scale class project ‘Aesthesis - The partial hand accessories for amputees’ designed for her mother who lost her fingers in an accident.

This finger amputee prosthetic is a 3D-printed decorative device made of both soft and hard materials. Compared with the existing products, it is not only aesthetically pleasing, but also lighter in weight and more breathable. It can help cover up the lost part while extending the residual finger to provide more finger functions, such as holding a mobile phone, to enhance users’ quality of lives.

The winning project are being exhibited with other winners from the USA and UK at the Mills until 26 August; and at PolyU’s Fashion Gallery from 27 August to 22 September. Full Winners' List>>
