David Gow changed the way thousands of people lead their lives when he invented the i-Limb prosthetic hand. It’s the first ‘fully articulated’ prosthetic, allowing its user to move individual fingers and perform complicated grips.

This video profile is part of Arrow Electronics' Heroes of Innovation series, celebrating the inspiration and ingenuity of innovators who are solving problems today.
