Boy Receives 3D-Printed Finger Prosthesis After Krasnogorsk Explosion

A young boy from Krasnogorsk has received a custom-made traction finger prosthesis after surviving an explosion last November. Gleb Brovar, injured by a device with the power of 10 grams of TNT, now begins his rehabilitation with the help of advanced digital technology.

The prosthesis was developed by Motorika ORTO using 3D scanning and printing, marking a significant step in his recovery process. On November 11, 2025, Gleb Brovar was severely injured in an explosion in Krasnogorsk. Authorities later opened a criminal case under charges related to attempted murder, given the explosive's small but dangerous TNT equivalent.

Following the incident, Motorika ORTO took charge of Gleb's prosthetics needs. The company handled consultations, paperwork, and the entire fitting process. Using digital prosthetics technology, they created a tailored traction prosthesis in just two weeks, with final adjustments taking one to two days.

Gleb's mother, Galina Brovar, received the prosthesis on an emotional day. The device, provided free through Russia's Individual Rehabilitation and Habilitation Program (IRHP), will be updated as needed. Gleb is now adapting to the prosthesis during his ongoing rehabilitation. The traction prosthesis allows Gleb Brovar to regain function in his injured hand. His recovery will continue under medical supervision, supported by the IRHP's provisions. The case surrounding the explosion remains under investigation.
