Firms join forces on prosthetic fingers for veterans of Iraq and Afghanistan

Prosthetic fingers, molded from rigid polyurethane and then overmolded with a TPU elastomer, are helping returning soldiers regain the use of digits lost in war. Leading the injection molding effort on the project is Vanguard Plastics.
