Prosthetic Arm
Marek Gut has pioneered a completely new approach to the design of prosthetic arms. Instead of designing prostheses meant to outwardly resemble a human arm as closely as possible, he creates devices that function as an arm only in a technical sense. With its striking external appearance, the prosthesis becomes an accessory, and can be worn with self-confidence instead of being a source of embarrassment. The color and pattern of the textile surfaces can be continually varied. Just like the arms of comic book super heroes, high muscle definition gives the impression of invulnerability. A bio-data display allows the wearer to monitor body temperature, pulse and battery output.
