The Given Limb Foundation has developed a prototype repair kit for mechanical repairs on prosthetic arms.  The kit includes tools such as small precision screwdrivers (philips head and flat head), iris scissors, a hex set, tweezers, and a rubber band applicator.  Some with prosthetic arms have indicated that they often have to make minor repairs or adjustments to their arms, and that a small, self-contained kit for travel or home use would be helpful to them.  We would like feedback from others about this concept–would it be helpful, what should it contain, etc.
