Functional, High-Quality Designed Prosthetic Hand Options

Historically, the simple designs of prosthetic hand parts used a person's remaining thumb or fingers for grasping against a fixed prosthetic platform. However, technological advancements have led to the development of smaller, nimbler, and more reliable components improving body and electric-powered prosthetic digits.

And at PrimeCare, we have a variety of advanced prosthetic hands to suit a range of amputee needs.

Passive Hand Prosthetics

Examples of passive prostheses include cosmetic replica fingers, multi-positional prosthetic finger joints, and ratcheting titanium fingers (which have flexion at both joints). Medium-duty and heavy-duty prosthetic thumbs are locked into position for a secure grip for thumb amputees. We can customize a passive artificial hand prosthesis to match a person's natural skin tone.

Body-Powered Hand Prosthesis

Partial hand amputees have three types of body-powered prostheses to choose from; joint-driven, cable-controlled, and wrist-driven. These prostheses are highly durable and typically designed with a high-tech look. Users can control the force of the prosthesis using their wrist or the remaining part of their hand, making the movement and control feel natural.

Myoelectric Hand Amputation Prosthesis

Small motors provide energy to the electric fingers in each digit, which are regulated by sensing electrodes or resistors that can detect muscle movements in the remaining parts of the hand or wrist. Users can also customize the gripping power of the electrically-powered fingers. Cosmetic gloves are available in various flesh tones and can be crafted to resemble the amputee’s natural hand.

Activity-Specific Hand Prosthesis

Activity-specific prostheses are specially designed for work, sports, and hobbies that a regular prosthesis cannot handle. Our prosthetists and technicians are renowned for creating unique devices that help amputees meet their specific functional objectives, from sports activities to work and recreational hobbies.

Hybrid Hand Prosthesis

Hybrid Hand Prosthesis

Hybrid prostheses offer the potential to provide extraordinary functional ability. By combining elements of multiple prosthetic options, a hybrid prosthesis is tailored to meet the individual rehabilitation goals of each patient, ensuring they have the resources they need to regain their function.

Our Partial Hand Prosthesis Process

Our prosthetists are highly skilled, combining their expertise with the best manufacturing practices to design hand prostheses for amputees that genuinely transform their lives.

  • Stage 1: Initial Consultation

    You'll meet your prosthetist at your initial consultation. They'll review your medical history and talk about your goals. During this stage, they will also take measurements to fabricate your device and submit it to your insurance provider for approval.

  • Stage 2: Insurance Approval & Prosthetic Selection

    Once we receive your insurance approval, we will send your specifications to a top-of-the-line prosthetics provider. We will select each component with the utmost care to maximize comfort and accommodate your physical and lifestyle requirements.

  • Stage 3: Socket Fabrication & Fitting

    At your fitting appointment, your prosthetist will assemble your Össur direct socket system if needed. It takes 2 hours to build, so you will receive the socket and prosthetic on the same day.

  • Stage 4: Size & Fit Adjustment

    Comfort is a vital component of the fitting process. For instance, an amputated finger prosthetic that is too tight or loose can cause discomfort or even injury. We’ll adjust your prosthetic to fit your body, allowing for better mobility and grip strength.

  • Stage 5: Progress Tracking and Follow Up

    After initial prosthetic training and occupational therapy, we’ll arrange a follow-up consultation to help with your long-term rehabilitation. This not only helps you adjust to your prosthetic, regain mobility and comfort, but also become accustomed to any muscle or limb volume changes from wearing it.

  • Stage 6: Establishing Your Routine

    Gaining momentum and adapting to life as an amputee is part of the recovery process. In the following weeks, your residual limb will heal internally. During these initial months as an amputee, you'll discover what kind of lifestyle works best for you.
