Make care
Open source & daily use objects for people with Epidermolysis Bullosa in condition of cocoon hands.
Set of objects of daily use for adolescents suffering from Epidermolysis Bullosa (butterfly skin) that are in different levels of development of syndactyly.
The fundamental idea is to improve the functional autonomy of young people with glass skin, to develop the capacity of effort and will, to promote the discipline and control of the child in their daily actions, besides releasing to some degree the caretaker, who is in constant dependence on the actions of the young person. All the objects can be 3d printed and also online, so they can be downloaded from different open source websites for their fabrication.
