About Us
Our Aim
Touch Prosthetics is Africa’s leading innovator in prosthetic hand development. Our Aim is to propel the prosthetics field forward and make its technology more accessible to the public. Touch Prosthetics’ current project is The Touch Hand. Join the Touch Prosthetics journey by sponsoring our projects.
Our Focus
Low-Cost
The Touch Hand is thoughtfully designed to provide a quality and realistic experience, at a consumer friendly price.
Highly Customizable
Each Touch Hand is designed specifically for each amputee and is uniquely suited to their specific needs. Bespoke customization allows for choices in materials, motors, and other components.
Upgradeable
Each component of the Touch Hand can be upgraded separately, meaning that it is easy and affordable to stay up to date with the latest technology.
Modular Design
Each component is available separately, and therefore if a component gets damaged, the amputee only needs to replace the damaged component and not the entire Touch Hand.
Continuous Optimisation
Focusing our efforts on the more significant aspects of a prosthetic hand, means the Touch Hand is being continuously optimized to enable a more seamless experience.
User Experience
We design our prosthetics so that it is as effortless as possible for our users to put on and take off.

Our Work
Touch Prosthetics seeks to propel the prosthetics field forward and make its technology more accessible to the general public. This will be achieved by producing low-cost, modular, advanced prosthetics with the aid of advanced 3D printing. Touch Hands allows for simple and easy operations using advanced control features. Our modular design will ensure that repairing the touch hand is simple and affordable to repair.
