Design Makars: Prosthetics with TORT

Saturday 3 May

A fascinating insight into prosthetics from the team at Ninewells.

From canes to smartwatches, wheelchairs to prosthetic limbs, the design of medical technology can shape our everyday life.

This May, our Design Makars are the Tayside Orthopaedic and Rehabilitation Technology Services, or TORT for short. With interactive materials, laser showcases and live demonstrations of plaster casting, the team at Ninewells will guide us through the tools and techniques of their craft.

This event is part of our upcoming display Ninewells Hospital: Care, Community & Innovation, opening Saturday 3 May.
