Cosmetic Prostheses
Lightweight, easy-care hand and arm prostheses focused on a natural look.
Cosmetic prostheses complete the appearance of the lost limb as naturally as possible. They are popular for everyday use because they are light and need little maintenance.
Features
- Coloring matched to skin tone, veins and nails
- Lightweight build for comfortable all-day use
- Simple use with no batteries or cables
- Passive support such as holding paper or steadying objects
Users who want an even more realistic look can consider silicone prostheses. Those who need active grip can consider mechanical or myoelectric prostheses.
