    Point Thumb

    Brand: Point Design

    The Point Thumb is a heavy-duty, passive articulating prosthetic thumb designed to be both lightweight and strong, using a novel ratcheting mechanism to lock into 11 unique positions of flexion. 

    Point Designs' prosthetic thumb is designed for patients with thumb loss who require a durable device and the ability for one-handed operation and various levels of flexion. The prosthesis is made of titanium and stainless steel, and comes with all necessary hardware for integration into a prosthetic socket. 

    Our thumb prosthesis is designed for people who have lost their thumb at or near the metacarpophalangeal (MCP) joint. It is a mechanical, passive device with a robust construction. The Point Thumb empowers people with partial thumb amputation by giving them more mobility, function, and independence.

    The main features of the Point Thumb include:

    • 3 standard lengths (59, 66, and 73 mm measured from the MP joint to thumbtip)
    • 11 locking levels of flexion
    • 150 lb (68 kg) load capacity
    • 1.0 oz - 1.3 oz (28 g - 38 g) in weight depending on length
    • Patented ratcheting mechanism enabling unilateral operation with auto spring back
    • Integrated compliant thumbtip pads that are touch screen compatible and field replaceable
    • The only prosthetic thumb with anatomical rotation about the patient’s metacarpophalangeal (MCP) joint
    • Fitted silicone bands for additional grip
