Boy-10, first to get new bionic hand



Alan, 10, of Loughor, had both hands amputated at the age of three after complications arising from an infection.

His mother Hannah Jones, 32, managed to raise £30,000 in eight months so he could get an i-limb quantum hand.



She said: "It's made a huge difference to his life - he's more confident."

Alan underwent almost 40 operations during his early years due to a heart defect, but an infection which affected his circulation meant he needed a double hand amputation to save his life.
