About

Metacarpal Prosthetics is a Scottish start-up founded in 2020 by Fergal Mackie, a graduate of the University of Strathclyde. Based in Edinburgh, the company specializes in designing and developing advanced prosthetic hands that enhance the lives of upper-limb amputees. Their flagship product is a fully mechanical, body-powered prosthetic hand that features multi-articulating, five-finger motion and offers various grip patterns and wrist positions. The company aims to improve prosthetic acceptance rates by merging the reliability of traditional body-powered devices with the functionality and aesthetics of bionic hands. Metacarpal is currently transitioning from prototype development to commercial launch, backed by over £800,000 in seed funding from various investors. Their focus is on creating affordable, user-friendly prosthetics that empower users and improve long-term health outcomes.
