In the US alone, around 1000 children are born each year that could benefit from Ambionics’ unique technology – that number doesn’t include children affected by traumatic injuries and diseases like meningitis and cancer either. Sadly, one in every three of these children will never receive a prosthetic arm / hand because they are too expensive or because the child has rejected prosthetics altogether having missed the window of opportunity in early childhood. Waiting times are reduced by 90% using Ambionics' approach. Ambionics keep digital copies so there is no need to re-cast and wait unnecessarily when an arm gets damaged or goes missing. Faster turn around times prevent developmental opportunities being lost and reduce exposure to risk of injury. Most importantly, by providing solutions earlier we can encourage brain development more effectively too!
