Introducing Point Designs
Founded by a team of researchers from the Biomechatronics Development Laboratory at the University of Colorado, Point Designs is a company built on decades of cutting-edge research into neural interfaces, myoelectric control algorithms, and upper limb prosthetic design. Led by Professors Richard Weir and Jacob Segil, along with co-founders Dr. Levin Sliker and Stephen Huddle, the Point Designs team continues to advance the field of partial hand prosthetic design with expertise in additive manufacturing, mechanical design, and clinical care.
Point Designs unique technology uses high-strength titanium and durable construction, ensuring a prosthetic solution that is both long-lasting and highly functional. Each digit can move independently, allowing for a wide range of grip patterns, which is crucial for everyday activities such as holding a pen, using a smartphone, or lifting heavier objects - most digits in the Point Designs range have a load capacity of up to 68kg (150lb). This level of articulation and durability makes Point Designs devices a great option for patients who have lost one or more fingers or thumbs and can open up a world of possibilities for those who may not have been aware of such technology.
