Prosthetic Hand, Partial Hand & Fingers in New Mexico

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
