NCT ID NCT06504667
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jul 01, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This study aimed to test a finger prosthetic system called Point Mini in 5 children aged 5-15 with partial hand loss. The device uses ratcheting mechanical digits to help with gripping and lifting tasks. However, the trial was withdrawn before any participants were enrolled, so no results are available.
What this could mean

- Point Mini finger prosthetic system
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this device could help children with partial hand loss perform everyday tasks more easily.
- What could go wrong
- The trial was withdrawn before starting, so no data is available. The device is still in early feasibility testing with only 5 planned participants.
