Jaipur Foot - the $40 Dollar Prosthetic
Designed in, and named for Jaipur, India; the prosthetic leg was designed to be inexpensive, quick to fit and manufacture, and to be water-resistant. The jaipur foot is fitted free of cost by Bhagwan Mahavir Viklang Sahyata Samiti, founded by Devendra Raj Mehta. It costs approximately U.S. $40. Dow India supports Bhagwan Mahavir Viklang Sahayta Samiti with polyurethene which is the new material used in the production of the prostheses. The new material increases the durability and the convenience of the leg.
