Abstract

L'invention concerne un procédé et un appareil de fabrication d'une poignée dont la forme et la structure remplissent diverses régions de la main, sauf une région dans la zone située sur le canal carpien inférieur. Lesdits procédé et appareil de conception permettent d'obtenir diverses poignées destinées à être saisies par la main. L'appareil présente, en particulier, une configuration généralement en forme de Y, par exemple pour une poignée de forceps/pinces de serrage avec une extrémité active. La poignée peut également comprendre une section radiale, une section cubitale et une section centrale. La poignée comprend, de plus, un bras radial, un bras cubital et une branche distale, avec une extrémité cubitale et une extrémité radiale venant en contact avec une partie de la main.
