He Got His Grip Back

Sgt. Juan Arrendondo served in Iraq. In 2005, he lost his hand during an attack while on patrol. Things looked pretty grim at the time.

In July, Arrendondo was fitted with a bionic hand called the I-LIMB. The I-LIMB is made of a special plastic then coated to look like human skin. It has 5 individual motors which control each finger.

With his new flexible fingers, Arrendondo can do many things he thought he'd never do again. He can grip a door knob and turn it. He can hold a glass. These simple pleasures are making his life a whole lot easier.

You can find out more about the I-LIMB at their website.
