Project Circleg
a low-cost prosthetic designed for amputees in developing countries
Circleg is a low-cost prosthetic designed for amputees in developing countries.
This project uses recycled plastic waste and simple production methods that are commonly available around the world. Circleg's modular design makes it simple and inexpensive to customize and repair. By using plastic waste as a raw material for prosthetics, Project Circleg responds to both social and environmental needs.
