Here you can see multiple X-Fingers being manipulated by a non-amputee. The device shown is for individuals that has lost 4 fingers with a small residuum remaining for each digit.

I am very disapointed by the price of this fingers.That steel can not cost so much:Ineed 4 fingers like that and it is simply to much for me!

@Katjacudna

You are absolutely correct in that steel does not cost that much. Unfortunately paying liability insurance to keep from being sued when you stick one in your eye is expensive! Luckily every major insurance carrier covers their cost, therefore providing you have insurance, you will have less of a problem obtaining this technology. I also started the World Hand Foundation that gives these devices away for free, therefore before being too insulting do some research and contact me.

I started a 501c3 public charity; called the World Hand Foundation. It is a non-profit organization that purchases prosthetic devices and fits them using professionally trained licensed practitioners at no cost to the end user. I do not receive a salary and donate my time free of charge. Princess Dalal Al-Saud, Baroness Kimberly Moore and actor Kevin Sorbo are just a few members of the Foundation that contribute their time and efforts. I hope this answers your question.

@DanielDean111 if it costs so much how can you afford it???

@DanielDean111i get it now, thanks.

@ishouldplayzelda

We have put many hundreds of thousands of dollars into this before selling one device and they are now covered by every major insurance carrier. I also started the World Hand Foundation which gives the devices to those who do not have insurance or are unable to afford them. No, steel and silicone does not cost that much, but try to start a medical device manufacturing company someday and you will see where the money goes. It costs millions before you can even start.

Thank you for asking. First, every case is different. Some people have long thin fingers and some long and thick. I have personally developed 97,000 configurations of devices and need to produce more than 400,000 more. Many cant imagine the complexity and magnitude of parts needed. It is not like everyone needs one size or loses their fingers at the same length. Also, patents, regulatory costs, insurance, practitioner costs adds thousands for each case.

@DanielDean111 why do they cost so much? they've already been fully developed, steel and silicon can't cost that much!

man that looks so cool!

Please email your information again and we will see what we can do. Many times the insurance companies simply need additional information, but we have gotten them approved through almost every major carrier for other individuals in the past. All we can do is try and we most certainly will.
