3D Printed Finger Prosthetics: Are They Durable Enough?

A missing finger can change how you work, play, and even how you feel about yourself. Simple actions like holding a glass, typing on a keyboard, or buttoning a shirt suddenly take more time and effort. In recent years, 3D printing has entered the world of prosthetics, promising faster production, lower costs, and more customization. […]
Biomechanics of Socket Fit: What Science Tells Us

The moment a person puts on a prosthetic limb, everything starts with the socket fit. It is the bridge between the body and the artificial limb. A good socket fit is not just about comfort. It affects how a person walks, how their weight shifts, how their muscles move, and how stable they feel throughout […]
Advances in Socket Interface Materials for Sensitive Skin

When someone wears a prosthetic limb every day, their comfort depends on more than just the fit or alignment. It also depends heavily on the material that touches their skin—the socket interface. For people with sensitive skin, this layer is incredibly important. It can either protect the limb and help them move freely, or cause […]
How Suspension Systems Work with Custom Sockets for Maximum Stability

If you’ve ever worn a prosthetic limb or known someone who does, you’ll know how important comfort and stability are. But most people don’t realise that a huge part of that stability comes not from the limb itself, but from how it connects to the body. That connection happens through what we call the suspension […]
Real Patient Stories: How Custom Sockets Changed Their Mobility Game

Mobility means different things to different people. For some, it’s about walking across a room without pain. For others, it’s about running again after years of waiting. But for everyone who uses a prosthesis, comfort and confidence start with the socket — that essential part of the limb that connects body to machine. At Robobionics, […]
