AHP prostheses can be fitted to conventional arm sockets or to special AHP light, non-irritating, soft and flexible sockets.

Elbow units can swing freely or be locked in position and the wrist coupling allows the hand to be easily rotated so that the palm faces the thigh naturally as you walk or sit down.

PARTIAL HAND PROSTHESES

Improving physical capability is a constant AHP design criterion. This is strikingly achieved with partial hand prostheses. The use of the remaining thumb or fingers is enhanced by prosthetically providing parts against which they can work. Restoration of near-normal appearance is an important bonus. Partial hand prostheses are usually the most difficult to develop but are very rewarding.

The AHP exdusive coloring process has led to thumb prostheses whose juncture with the normal skin is hardly perceptible. Total thumb amputations at the base of the palm have no satisfactory solution, but AHP prostheses for amputations extending 12.5 mm or more beyond the web can result in considerable benefits. Also note the AHP perfection of fingernail details which have integrated UV filters for color stabilization.

FINGER PROSTHESES

These are superb. The AHP fit is so precise that both pressure and position sense are transmitted to the body for subconscious control needed for activities such as typing. AHP'S Biochromatic color matching is so good that customary use of a ring to disguise the juncture with the skin becomes purely an option.
