Brit scientists unveil bionic hand
London, May 12 (ANI): Scientists in Britain have developed a bionic hand with fingers that move and react independently.
A first of its kind, the cutting-edge ProDigits provides a lifelike replacement for full or partial hand amputees.
Brainchild of Touch Bionics, based in Livingston, Scotland, the Terminator-style prosthetic is on show at a medical expo in Leipzig, Germany, reports The Sun.
The revolutionary device's movements can even be fine-tuned by computer using Bluetooth technology.
The fingers move by interpreting muscle signals from what remains of the hand or stump. (ANI)
