For individuals who have lost an arm due to accidents, illness or congenital conditions, custom-made\nprosthetic arm systems are designed to restore daily-life functions and improve quality of life.<\/p>\n\n

\n
\n\nProsthetic arm systems are built as mechanical (body-powered), myoelectric, bionic or silicone\ncosmetic<\/strong> devices, depending on the amputation level, the user’s activity needs and individual\ngoals.\n\nEvery prosthesis is fully custom-made \u2014 no two are alike. A specialist evaluation is essential to determine\nthe right system for you.\n\n<\/div>\n

By Amputation Level<\/p>\n\n

Below Elbow or Above Elbow?<\/h2>\n

Your prosthesis is shaped by your amputation level. Understanding the difference between these two\nsystems is the first step toward choosing the right one.<\/p>\n\n

\n
\n\n\"Below\n
\n
Elbow preserved<\/div>\n

Below Elbow Prosthesis<\/h3>\nUsed when the elbow joint is intact (transradial amputation). Because your natural elbow movement is\npreserved, both control and adaptation are significantly faster and easier.\n

\n\n\"Above\n
\n
Elbow included<\/div>\n

Above Elbow Prosthesis<\/h3>\nUsed when the elbow joint is also lost (transhumeral amputation). An artificial elbow joint is integrated\ninto the system; this makes the design and adaptation process more comprehensive.\n

Components in both systems<\/p>\n\n

\n
\n

Socket<\/p>\n

The custom-molded core component that contacts the residual limb.<\/p>\nBoth levels<\/span>\n\n<\/div>\n

\n

Liner<\/p>\n

A silicone or gel inner sleeve that protects skin and ensures suspension.<\/p>\nBoth levels<\/span>\n\n<\/div>\n

\n

Frame<\/p>\n

Lightweight, durable structural framework connecting all components.<\/p>\nBoth levels<\/span>\n\n<\/div>\n

\n

Artificial Elbow Joint<\/p>\n

Provides flexion and extension. In myoelectric systems controlled by muscle signals.<\/p>\nAbove elbow only<\/span>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Terminal Device \u2014 The Unit That Replaces Hand Function<\/p>\n

Three terminal device options can be used at both prosthesis levels.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n\nMechanical<\/span>\n

Mechanical Hand \/ Hook<\/p>\n

Cable-driven, body-powered system controlled by shoulder movement. Durable and easy to\nmaintain.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n

\n\nElectronic<\/span>\n

Myoelectric Hand<\/p>\n

Works with sensors that read muscle signals. Provides natural opening and closing motions.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n

\n\nBionic<\/span>\n

Bionic Hand Prosthesis<\/p>\n

Advanced device that moves all 5 fingers independently. Offers 12 to 32 grip patterns.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n

\n
\n\n\"Bionic\n\n<\/div>\n
\n\nBionic<\/span>\n

Bionic Arm Prosthesis<\/h3>\nThe most advanced prosthetic arm technology. Reads muscle signals from the residual limb and moves each\nfinger independently.\n
