prosthesis of plastic

The story that we select is about a man called Walidmir that has a Poland Syndrome. That syndrome causes absence of some muscles of upper side of his body and congenital amputation of some fingers. He has gone to Teletón since he had two months old.

Now a physiologist called Jorge zúñiga made a hand of plastic whit a three dimensions printer for Wladimir. This hand cost twenty five dollars and is more comfortable because is most light and have a similar structure of a real hand.

This topic interested me because recently in physics we have a seminary of how to make a tooth with three dimensions printer for our job like a dentist. Of course that is a new technology and is very useful for make models teeth for do studies of mechanicals effects on it. Know that with the same form of printer other people can help other people is very good news because this fact make that people like Wladimir can be most happy and have a better life. Also the fact that cost of process of production of a prosthesis is lower that other prosthesis is really good news, because that could help so much people that really need a form of make yours lives better.


I don’t know if this fact has a controversial issues but I think that is fantastic that people that need any prosthesis can access more easily to those.
