4. The Bionic Thumb: For those who have lost dexterity in their hands or fingers due to injury or illness, the bionic thumb may be the solution they’ve been looking for. Made from 3D printed plastic material and attached via velcro straps around the hand/wrist area- this thumb extension allows users more control over smaller items such as pens or utensils at only $30!
