What is a Trans-Radial Amputation?
A trans radial amputation is a type of upper limb amputation that involves the removal of the radius bone in the forearm. This type of amputation can occur as a result of injury, trauma, or medical conditions such as cancer or infection.
Benefits of Trans-Radial Prosthetics
Our trans radial prosthetics are designed to provide a natural-looking and feeling hand that allows for precise control and dexterity. Some of the benefits of our trans radial prosthetics include:
- Improved mobility: Our prosthetic hands are designed to mimic the natural movement of the human hand, allowing for smooth and precise movement.
- Enhanced dexterity: Our prosthetics are designed to provide fine motor control, enabling you to perform daily tasks with ease.
- Increased confidence: Our prosthetics are designed to be aesthetically pleasing, allowing you to regain your confidence and independence.
Types of Trans-Radial Prosthetics
We offer a range of trans radial prosthetic options, including:
- Body-powered prosthetics: These prosthetics use cables and harnesses to control the movement of the hand.
- Myoelectric prosthetics: These prosthetics use sensors that detect electrical signals from the muscles in your residual limb to control the movement of the hand.
