I was just wondering, why don't they drill some venting holes in the side of these prosthetics, so your hand won't get too warm in there, or make them with venting openings that you could slide in and out for air, just like on a full face motorcycle helmet. Just a thought.

Some people do add ventilation holes to alleviate heat or perspiration build-up. I have no issues with either so a closed socket works fine for me.

You seem like you are doing great with prosthetics but how do you feel about a transplant or one of those iLimb hands from Touch Bionics?
