Teen creates device for his mother’s prosthetics

This solution, invented in 2007, is called "Bubble Wrap® Cosmetic Covering Shell for Artificial Legs in Developing Countries”, and has the purpose of quickly adapting, by turning any basic artificial limb to give it muscle-like tone and shape. This helps the user feel more confident. The device is made of a lightweight material, and is a very low cost option.

Bubble Wrap® Cosmetic Covering Shell for Artificial Legs in Developing Countries is produced by using a heat gun to mold Bubble Wrap cushioning around the steel rod of the prosthetic.

Grayson was named the grand prize winner in Sealed Air Corporation's first-ever Bubble Wrap®Competition for Young Inventors at a gala dinner in New York City's Rainbow Room in honor of Bubble Wrap Appreciation Day, in 2007. 

Gracie and her husband Peter founded Standing With Hope, a ministry that reaches out in music and prayer to amputees, hanving expanded outside the U.S. to a clinic in Ghana, where prosthetic legs are custom-built for the poor.
