Following the introduction of the world to beat, i-MEMBER prostheses from last year, Touch Bionics takes things in a different direction with a sense of competition "Fluid hand." The new miniature hydraulic hand used to bend the fingers, and can better interact with objects - such as grasping things with irregular surfaces - that the five motor-i-Limb. Fludihand is also a natural that the current prostheses, to comment and stem the user can sense the power of hand. Fluid hand is currently only at the stage of the prototype, with a patient that day to test the two prostheses, one against the other in a battle in the death.

Updated: Sorry for the confusion, fluid hand by a certain researchers in Karlsruhe, Germany, not by touching bionics.
