The Buddy is a body-powered prosthetic for fingers with two missing sections or PIP joint amputations. These single jointed devices restore the length of a finger and use a neighboring finger to enable movement and bending in the device.
Devices are worn like a ring on the amputation finger and feature supports on the neighboring finger base and midsection. The Buddy is unique because it can restore a missing finger without needing to wear a glove or wrist piece.
Customers have enjoyed using their Buddys for daily activities, sports, biking, construction, and for overall confidence!
Fingy devices are ordered online, custom fit, and shipped to your door within 30 days!

A dislocation from many years ago was becoming increasingly problematic until I decided to amputate. It was the right choice. After a while I began to investigate prosthetics as a way to improve my situation. I settled on a device that, through a ratcheting system, could be readily set from fully extended to fully flexed. It was beautifully designed, crafted and fitted. It was also heavy and awkward and damn expensive. And I never got used to it.
A year later I discovered the Fingy3D Buddy and gave it a try. I’m glad I did. The price, process and customer service that they have set up worked perfectly from start to finish and the finished product is everything they promised. 5 stars.
I purchased this product for my wife who had lost half of her finger when she was a child. We didn’t know what to expect but we were quickly impressed with the service we received. I received an email requesting pictures of her hands so the correct product could be made. I was impressed that the product was tailored specifically for what she needed. In fact, it took three tries to create the product how she wanted and felt most comfortable. All the while, communication was excellent and we were constantly asked for feedback and pictures. Everything we were looking into prior was over $1000, so the price for this product is unbeatable. Believe me that the service is great and each model is built with each individual in mind. My wife wears it all the time. Even when she’s working out!
