Point Designs' ambassadors are a group of passionate, hardworking people who overcame adversity and who now move through life with newfound purpose. Through their stories, we hope that both current and future patients are able to envision what their life might look like and how they might succeed with Point Designs' prosthetic fingers. All of our ambassadors use their digits to accomplish tasks that require a reliable, heavy-duty prosthesis. These activities include managing a ranch and a cleaning business, operating and training others in the use of firearms, and weightlifting and endurance training. 

In February of 2020, Angie Coe was in an off-roading accident that resulted in the amputation of digits 3-5 on her right hand. Although this accident was life changing, Angie did not let it break her spirit and she strived to adapt and overcome the challenges that her new reality brought to her life.

As soon as she recovered enough, Angie searched for a prosthesis that would allow her some of the freedoms that she enjoyed prior to her accident. She soon found that solution with Point Designs, and in collaboration with Arm Dynamics, was able to get a custom fabricated prosthesis that was just right for her.

“Thank you Arm Dynamics and Point Designs for the incredible work you do! Both these companies will be there to support you from the moment you first talk to them until, well, forever!! Their support does not end after you get your prosthetic. They truly care about you and they want to be a part of your success and confidence. I’m eternally grateful to them”

In July of 2016, Jeff Soelberg was in an industrial accident that resulted in the amputation of 2-4 on his right hand. After his accident, Jeff spent more time on his fitness and began participating in endurance challenges. 

Jeff Soelberg wears three Point Digits on his right hand, and he uses them daily, often forfor up to six or eight hours at a time. He uses them in all types of activities, but mainly for daily activities around his house and in his daily life. 

"While nothing replaces the original equipment, the one thing that is most important is that they give me a feeling of being as whole as possible. Nothing can replace that."

Injured in September of 2023, Madi Watts was determined to find a functional prosthetic solution that fit her lifestyle. With the help of Tim Bump at Handspring Prosthetics, she was fitted with a Point Thumb, Point Pivot+, and a lightweight, low profile 3D printed frame. This has allowed her to live easier and more confidently, trusting that her prosthesis can take on any task.
 
"I really love Point Designs and everything you all stand for, it’s truly changed my life and my journey with amputation in ways I can’t even explain. I’m so thankful for all of you and the heart you put into your work."

In 2017, Darlene Ruff was involved in a motor vehicle accident caused by a drunk driver. As a result of her injuries, she developed complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) in her right hand and arm, ultimately leading to the amputation of digits 3-5.

Now living on a ranch in Canada with her husband and horses, Darlene embodies resilience and independence. Her custom prosthesis from Point Designs, crafted to match her custom Mini Cooper, features a unique design that lets her hold her service dog’s leash and horse leads effortlessly

"'It's been about not going backwards and trying to get how things were, but looking at my life how it is now and how do I move forward.' 'That's the thing that new amputees need to hear; that there is life after limb loss.'"
