Point Designs
Point Designs is dedicated to designing and manufacturing heavy-duty partial hand prostheses. Through years of development and feedback from prosthetists and patients we created our flagship product, a strong, durable, and lightweight full finger prosthesis, called the Point Digit. An ideal solution for patients with near-MCP level amputations/differences, the Point Digit articulates anatomically, is robust, and can be positioned unilaterally. We continue to research and develop innovative prosthetic solutions and celebrate the advances being made in our field every day.
