The project

Tyron2-prosthetics is a project. Its goal is to create the most lifelike prosthetics possible. I have dedicated the past 7 years to this goal.

Those who order are collaborators, not customers or clients. When you order a Phase2 of the Tyron2-prosthetics project, you are ordering the best prosthetic available to date, but of most importance for the long run, you are testing the current stage of the project.*

 

When you order a prosthetic:

• You are not paying for a product.

• You are paying towards further research and development of tyron2-prosthetics.

•  You receive a sample of the current stage of the project. The sample model you receive is the prosthetic as described on this website, or an improved version of that which is described on this site.

 

Each prosthetic is individually made, and with each one I produce, I make new plans, and come up with new ideas for improvements. Feedback from those who order is vital for this process.

 

Why is it important to call the prosthetics ‚sample models’ and not ‚products’?

Samples do not need to go through customs.

All internationally posted products must be packaged with an invoice outlining the contents: exactly what it is and what it costs. Since the packages do not contain a product, there is no need to explain the contents in detail, and no product invoice to attach.

I do label all packages, but I label them discreetly**

The positive side:

1) The risk of needing to explain and/or claim the packages is greatly lowered. Customs can be extremely uncomfortable, and in many places or situations dangerous.

2) There are no customs duties to pay. It is always expensive to claim an expensive product.

3) If a package does end up at customs, a ‘sample model of a project’ (in particular an art project), is much less problematic than a ‘medical prosthesis’.

 

The negative side:

When sending a ‘sample’, and clearly not a ‘product’. I may not send an invoice for a ‘product’.

 

                                                                                          

*The tyron2 is a prosthetic made for men who were born with the, for them, wrong genitals. If this does not apply to you, please do not order one.

**Within the EU it is officially not necessary to label the packages. However, experience shows that the packages arrive faster when labelled.
