A Victoria charity group that develops low-cost prosthetic arms recently returned to Canada after travelling with a humanitarian group to Ukraine.
There, Nick Deckev, founder of the non-profit the Victoria Hand Project, literally gave people a hand.What it is, is a low cost, fully functioning 3D-printed prosthetic arm. Deckev went to Ukraine to help set up the prosthetics for residents.
Deckev fit two men in Lviv, Ukraine, with new arms. One man named Volodymyr lost his arm in a car accident in 2007. Mykkailo lost his during a firefighting accident in 2006. "Right now we’re just doing the preliminary get to know each other and we outfit a couple of amputees," said the founder of the non-profit.
That second trip would include providing each site with four 3D printers and enough supplies to begin to make a difference in the war-torn country.The clinic in Lviv already has soldiers lined up.
