Kwawu Arm
To learn about what each of the above icons represents, please refer to the Device Ratings Guide.
Designer: Jacquin Buchanan
Description:
This is an elbow-driven device. To use this design, users must have a functional elbow that bends to force the fingers closed on the hand. For more information, see the Which Design page.
The Kwawu arm has been redesigned to be more natural looking and more functional. The terminal device has a much higher grip strength and functionality. Very good at picking up small things with index finger and thumb and big things with whole hand.

This version is similar to the original thermoform Kwawu arm. It is suitable for a recipient with a long residual forearm.
There are two other versions on Thingiverse. A socket version for people with short forearm residuals and a terminal-only version for people with a standard forearm socket already.
