Upper limb prostheses
Upper limb prosthetics are custom medical devices designed for individuals who have lost an arm or a hand. Designed to restore autonomy, improve comfort, and adapt to each individual's morphology, they not only allow for the recovery of essential physical capabilities but also help to enhance self-confidence. At CDI MEDICAL in Namur, we create personalised prosthetics to meet the functional and aesthetic needs of each patient.
🦿Types of prosthetics for upper limbs:
We offer several solutions tailored to different levels of amputation and objectives:
- Hand prostheses: allow for performing daily tasks with precision and comfort.
- Arm prostheses: provide optimal support after an amputation at the elbow or shoulder.
- Aesthetic prostheses: replicate the natural appearance, often used in conjunction with a functional prosthesis.
- Myoelectric prostheses: controlled by muscle signals to provide better dexterity and a more natural movement.
At CDI MEDICAL, each prosthesis is made with high-quality materials to ensure strength, comfort, and durability. We support our patients throughout the process, from measurement taking to final fitting, to ensure a device that is perfectly suited to their needs.
