Victoria Hand Project 07.11.2020

Bin-Amin is a young boy from Kenya who lost his limbs in an unfortunate accident when playing with friends. In February 2020, VHP was able to fit Bin-Amin with his own Victoria Hand prosthetic arm!

The Victoria Hand Project is very honoured to be included in the Design Museum Everywhere book #BespokeBodies - The Design & Craft of Prosthetics, and to have our #LimbForge arm featured on the cover! This 200-page publication features the past, present, and future of prosthetic design and impact including: a 500-year history of prosthetics, stories of design changing the lives of people with limb-loss, and seven guest thought leadership essays spanning global impact, athletic performance, bionics, and more. You can preorder Bespoke Bodies at the following link: https://bit.ly/38tSYP8 #3dprinting #technology #prosthetic #amputee #prostheticdesign #dogood #3dheals #3dhealth #healthcare #nonprofit #notforprofit #prosthetics #oandp #bethechange #inspiration #giveback #donate #engineering

ASSEMBLING THE V300 HAND The newest Victoria Hand uses both 3D Printed and Laser Cut parts, strengthening key areas of the fingers. An additional perk of adding the laser cut steel? Faster assembly times! Less time spent assembling the hands means more time for our partners to fit more patients with prosthetic arms and complete their other tasks. Check out this time-lapse of one of our Victoria team members working to see just how fast it can be! ... #3dprinting #technology #prosthetic #amputee #prostheticdesign #dogood #3dheals #3dhealth #healthcare #nonprofit #notforprofit #prosthetics #oandp #bethechange #inspiration #giveback #donate #uvic #engineering #timelapse #speed

Introducing the V300 Hand Over the years, VHP has accepted lots of feedback from people using the Victoria Hands on how to make them even better. With over 150 people using the V200 hands out in the world, it was clear that users were looking for the tried and true features of the V200 with a little extra strength and durability. With the V300, steel inner links reinforce key elements of the fingers, meaning the hand can lift heavier objects and withstand more force withou...t increasing the cost! Another perk of the V300 hand? Steel inner links means assembly of the hands just got a whole lot quicker. Less time spent assembling each hand means more time for clinicians to fit the hands on patients and complete other tasks. We hope you are as excited as we are to get these brand new hands out into the world! #3dprinting #technology #prosthetic #amputee #prostheticdesign #dogood #3dheals #3dhealth #healthcare #nonprofit #notforprofit #prosthetics #oandp #bethechange #inspiration #giveback #donate #uvic #engineering

Introducing the new V300 Hand! Over the past few months we have been working on a new hand model that is stronger, more durable, and improved cosmetically. The V300 Hand introduces a second form of rapid prototyping alongside 3D printing in the form of laser cut steel inner links of the hand. Areas of the hand with higher applied forces are now reinforced, creating our best hand yet! By using laser cut steel we were able to dramatically reduce the assembly time, meaning mor...e people can get fit in less time. Similar to the V200 Hand, the V300 Hand utilizes adaptive grasp, backlock functionality, and a rotatable thumb and wrist, making the hand multi-functional! Keep your eyes open for more detailed pictures and videos of the V300 Hand that we can’t wait to share with you.

Throwback to some of the very first Victoria Hand trials in Guatemala with @rompglobal for our official #romptober photo contest entry The following photos show Isabel being fit with his own V100 hand by ROMP team member Patrick Mathay. Isabel lost his hand in a work accident 12 years prior to receiving the hand and considers a prosthetic vital to continue working and providing for his family.
