The benefits

Prosthetic hands and arms can be used by individuals who have either lost a limb or who have a limb difference due to a congenital condition. The right device can help restore your independence and mobility, help you master everyday tasks, get back to your job, or simply help you feel well and rebuild your confidence.

A prosthesis can make a big difference in your day-to-day life but using one can require a lot of practice. Our clinicians will help you pick the perfect device and get the most from it.

Areas of Expertise

Upper Limb Specialties

For nearly a century, our passion for perfecting each one of our prosthetic designs has been inspired by natural movement and human achievement.

Real choices for real life: Gentle and rugged. Light activity and heavy duty. Subtle and bold. For our hands, “everyday activities” can be just about anything. For people with an upper limb difference, that means the “right hand” is all about the right balance.
