Prosthetists Meet Printers:
Mainstreaming Open Source 3D-Printed Prosthetics for Underserved Populations
Sunday Sept 28, Johns Hopkins Hospital, Baltimore MD.

DIRECTIONS AND PARKING INFO

Crowd-sourced collaborative innovation is changing the face of modern medicine. e-NABLE, an online volunteer community of humanitarian technologists is leading the way by designing, building, and disseminating inexpensive 3D-printed prosthetics.

Come join the e-NABLE organization and thought leaders in medicine, industry and public policy for a ground-breaking, industry-defining event at at Johns Hopkins Hospital that will include the delivery of donated prosthetics to children with upper limb disabilities.

Help us bring 21st-century technologies, practices, and philosophies to prosthetists, parents, and patients. Help us develop enlightened policy recommendations and strategies in advance of FDA regulatory workshops in October.

Please visit enablingthefuture.org to read about the work we are doing, find open source hand design files to print and peruse the heart warming stories of the children, adults and Veterans who have been gifted these 3D printed hands from a global network of e-NABLE volunteers.

Families and Veterans: Learn To Assemble A 3D Printed Hand

This workshop is for Veterans, Wounded Warriors and family, friends or parents of children with upper limb differences. During this workshop, you will be able to participate in learning how to create a 3D printed prosthetic device. Hand kits will be available free of charge for those with qualifying upper limb differences (these devices require a palm with wrist motion to activate.)

You will be taught how to assemble and pad the device as well as how to properly fit it to the hand. Each upper limb different participant will be able to take their completed hand home with them.
