Bionic Hand on Richard and Judy TV Show

A bionic hand which was invented by a Scottish NHS worker has gone on the market. The thumb and fingers can move and grip just like a human hand and are controlled by the patient's mind and muscles. It was designed and built by Touch Bionics, which is based in Livingston. The technology has been tested by a number of people, including US soldiers who lost limbs in the Iraq war.
Bionic hand inventor David Gow and patient Donald McKillop join Richard and Judy in the studio to talk about this amazing technological advances in prosthetics.
