Simon Oschwald from Zurich is the co-founder of Project Circleg. Project Circleg is an appropriate lower-limb prostetic system designed for the needs of amputees in developing countries. By using recycled plasticwaste in combination with simple production methods, the Circleg prosthesis can be produced locally and cost-effectively.
