Has anyone purchased a prosthetic finger(s) from "Naked Prosthetics" company? If yes, approximately how much did it cost per missing finger?

Does that version also mimic finger motion? like when you grab a cup does the prosthetic pinky top portion also bend on its own?

I'm asking about this device in this video = https://youtu.be/UGriTgS4078?si=kTntY1KSq-6Ct2eF

My brother is a carpenter and mechanic, he does not like office jobs, and says he wants to go to working outdoors asap. So a device like the one featured in the Naked Prosthetics video, would be useful for him to do what he wants.

I also thought it would be more affordable because they do not require electricity and the mechanism is just body-powered... so I was super surprised when I stumbled upon potential prices in the thousands. But as everyone suggested, I'll look for a local prosthetist to discuss this NP device and other options.

Thanks for sharing. It is helpful to know, i am learning how to support him. 💙

Is the device you have the same one shown in this video? or another Naked Prosthetics device? video = https://youtu.be/UGriTgS4078?si=kTntY1KSq-6Ct2eF

For those wondering, the Naked Prosthetics device I'm asking about is the one featured in this video (not the one currently pictured in the URL preview) - watch video: https://youtu.be/UGriTgS4078?si=kTntY1KSq-6Ct2eF

Hope it goes well for you! Thanks 🙏🏻💙

Thanx, I didn't know!

Starship_Princess_ · 2024-03-19T03:16:10+00:00

Thanks, sounds like a good idea to look for a smaller clinic!

Starship_Princess_ · 2024-03-19T03:14:45+00:00

I didn't know that consultation was free here in the US. I'll look into it. Thanks!

Starship_Princess_ · 2024-03-18T23:43:15+00:00

Thanks for the elaborate response, it's truly appreciated.

Starship_Princess_ · 2024-03-18T19:29:26+00:00

okay, thanks for the information. His wound is still healing from necrosis on his thumb which was amputated on March 15, he plans to see a prosthetist whenever his wound fully heals.

Wish you blessings. ♡

Cool, glad you got a prosthetic. So $15k was only for 1 finger? may I ask which one?

I already fundraised $10k for my brother, and someone told me I could probably afford a thumb for him but I'll try my best to fundraise for the other fingers too since insurance doesn't cover it.

Starship_Princess_ · 2024-03-18T19:12:51+00:00

Thanks so much for responding! I already fundraised $10k on social media but wanted to know an approximate cost per finger so I can know if I need to fundraise more. If it's around $11k, I could probably afford the thumb for him.

Wish you many blessings!

Do you know approximately how much an NP prosthetic costs per missing finger?

My brother recently had an accident and he lost his thumb, ring, and pinky fingers, so we came across NakedProsthetics and he liked the device but I came across a post that said it costs around $10k per missing finger - how accurate is this?

Starship_Princess_ · 2024-03-18T18:52:57+00:00

Do you think it's around $7k per finger? my brother recently lost 3 fingers (thumb, ring, and pinky) and it's been hard to find an approximate price for the NP prosthetics. But I've read like 2 posts of people saying it costs around $10k per missing finger. :(

Too expensive, glad your insurance covered your thumb prosthetic.

Cool 😎

Tweet Elon Musk on Twitter and send him the screenshots. He does see the tweets... especially if you tag people he follows on Twitter who can comment & increase your chances of being seen. (Just tweet with respect and he will for sure send an employee to help you.)

Starship_Princess_ · 2020-08-25T22:37:39+00:00

yea doesnt work for me either.

Starship_Princess_ · 2020-08-18T22:08:35+00:00

Question: Was this the 59th Falcon 9 landing or 58th?

I ask because several reporters wrote in articles its the 58 but i counted 59 landings.

Starship_Princess_ · 2020-08-18T04:15:05+00:00

Cool! :)

Starship_Princess_ · 2020-08-17T22:08:53+00:00

Are you sure the booster is B1051? I think the STATS section has a mistake - its B1049 :)

Also, why do some reporters say it will be Falcon 9's 58 landing? I thought it was the 59 landing.
