Touch Bionics, developer of the world's first commercially available bionic hand, officially opened its development and manufacturing facility in Livingston, Scotland. The new facility allows Touch Bionics to bring its manufacturing operations in-house, giving the company greater control over the production output of its business and the ability to support increased demand for its i-LIMB Hand product. The new building also includes patient-fitting areas, which gives patients from countries where the hand is not currently available important access to Touch Bionics' prosthetists. Rt. Hon. Stephen Timms, Minister of State for Competitiveness, and David Cairns, Minister of State Scotland Office, assisted in the facility's opening. "I am delighted to be able to open this new facility for such an exciting and innovative company," Timms said. "Touch Bionics is a fine example of UK-developed, world-leading medical technology, which is exactly the kind of area that the UK must succeed in to remain at the forefront of technology development."
