Carpal Prosthetics

Helpful for: Long-term ambulatory support

A carpal disarticulating prosthetic is for patients amputated at the carpal level, that still have their medial and lateral process left intact along with the distal ends of the ulna and radial bones. The distal ends of the long bones provide a ideal weight bearing surface for the forces to be transmitted through, and the lateral and medial process provide an hour glass shape with the distal end providing a bulbous shape, this combination will allow for suspension of the prosthetic through a suction suspension.

Prosthetic Features

Prosthetics are made using thermosetting laminate plastic and closed cell thermo foams, providing an intimate fitting for optimal weight bearing comfort and functional use. The prosthetic paws have a rocker bottom surface enabling a smoother gait minimizing the energy required when walking. The rubber grip on the paw allows for good traction on slippery surfaces and prolongs the use of the prosthetic paw material. Custom colours and cosmetic designs are available upon request.
