All smiles! Rayven is happy with his new prosthetic

A little boy born with a rare condition that means he doesn’t have fingers on one of his hands has been given a prosthetic hand fit for an action hero.

Rayven “Bubba” Kahae was given the ingenious moveable hand by non-profit group E-nabling, and they even coloured it to match his favourite super hero, Iron Man.


The three-year-old from Hawaii suffers from ABS (Amniotic Band Syndrome), which his family say has always made him feel different from other children.

Speaking to KHON 2 News, Rayven’s grandmother Rulan Waikiki said: ‘He always said he doesn’t like that hand, he wants one like his sister’s.’

The mechanical-hand allowed Rayven to grab things with two hands for the first time in his life.

The brilliant prosthetic uses no electricity, so it will never break down or run out of battery power, and due to E-nabling’s fundraising efforts it didn’t cost the Kahae family anything.

Created using a 3D printer, each E-nabling hand only has a manufacturing cost of $50 (£30), whereas mechanical hands usually cost tens of thousands of pounds to build.

Rulan said she hopes that E-nabling’s prosthetic hands will stop children suffering from ABS from being ostracised.

‘Some of them right now are being teased in school because they don’t have a hand, but once they get this hand their self confidence will go through the roof.’
