Oregon-based mechanical engineer Ian Davis is in the midst of building an extraordinary prosthetic hand. The partial hand—in the videos and pictures below—is stunningly intricate and now, after two ...

After losing his fingers in a work-related accident, and not being satisfied with digital prosthetics, maker Ian Davis has created his very own mechanical prosthetic fingers which are capable of ...

Advances such as telemedicine and the use of wireless devices in hospitals have become an accepted part of medical technology, but the notion of replacing limbs with computer-powered devices seems ...

LOS ANGELES — Aortic mechanical valves are associated with better survival than bioprosthetic valves in patients aged 60 years or younger, showed 12-year survival data from a large surgical database.

A mechanical valve prosthesis has a better survival record than a biological valve prosthesis, according to a large registry study from Sweden. The finding can be highly significant, since the use of ...

Nearly 50,000 children in the U.S. alone need lower limb prosthetics. Due to the rapid growth rate of children, they can require up to six prosthetic assemblies through their development, averaging ...

While today’s robotics industry has made huge strides in replicating known movements, it still has a hard time when ...
