Jordan Marotta, 5, became the youngest-ever recipient of a top-of-the-line bionic arm, decked out, at HIS request, in ‘Iron Man’ red and gold.
Jordan’s non-invasive prosthetic was seamlessly molded to attach and detach from where his left arm ends as electrodes and sensors detect muscle contractions and respond with appropriate hand and finger movements.
It runs on a 14-hour, rechargeable battery and takes about a month to be produced.
Jordan’s first stop home from the medical office was at his school, where he proudly showed off to his classmates. Afterward came a trip to his grandparents’ house, followed by a trip to Chuck E. Cheese.
