California Woman Receives Most Advanced, Non-Invasive Upper Extremity Prosthetic Solution: Bionic i-LIMB Hand and Innovative Interface System Increase Amputee's Functionality and Confidence
Date:12/21/2008

California Woman recently fit with the most advanced non-surgical upper extremity prosthetic solution commercially available - Touch Bionic's i-LIMB Hand and biodesigns' selective compression-stabilization interface. Amputee now feels renewed feeling of freedom and independence. The perfect gift for the holidays.

Santa Monica, CA (PRWEB) December 21, 2008 -- Revolutionary new prosthetic technology has made life easier and more fulfilling for a California woman who is an upper extremity amputee. Telisa Boston was recently fit with the most advanced non-surgical upper extremity prosthetic solution commercially available - Touch Bionics' i-LIMB™ Hand, the world's first fully-articulating and commercially-available bionic hand, coupled with the innovative selective compression-stabilization interface system created by Randall Alley, CEO and chief prosthetist of biodesigns.

Biodesigns, inc., a high-performance Southern California prosthetic facility specializing in technologically-advanced upper and lower extremity care, recently evaluated Boston and determined she was a candidate for this revolutionary myoelectric solution.

Boston, who lost her right arm at the age of 16 due to a rare tumor, previously only wore a cosmetic or passive prosthesis and was in need of a more functional solution to better handle her duties as a highly-visible public relations and sales professional for a cosmetic dental company. In her position, she coordinates media events and works with the public at industry trade shows but is also required to assist with booth set-up and lift packages weighing up to 50 pounds. Boston works on a computer daily, and her job performance was hindered by the inability to use two hands while typing.
