[AMP-L] Prosthetic Limb Disassembly in Brooklyn [Video]

via CH 12 The Bronx:

A New York-based nonprofit held a prosthetic limb disassembly event 
in Brooklyn Saturday. The group is known for helping amputees in 
developing countries access prosthetic limbs.  

On average, amputees in the U.S. change their prosthetic, or at least 
some of the parts, every three to five years. Most of them are still 
usable and in good condition.

Local kids from the scouting group Outdoor Service Guides helped 
organizers Penta Medical Recycling to take apart each artificial 
limb. Each component was then labeled and shipped to dozens of  
partner organizations around the world.
