Upper limb prosthetics
Arm prostheses can replace the most important basic functions of the lost hand – such as opening and closing – as well as restoring the outside appearance. Ottobock offers a complete fitting spectrum for upper limb prostheses, ranging from cosmetic to myoelectric components.
Myoelectric arm prostheses
State-of-the-art myoelectric arm prostheses are highly functional and offer great benefits to active people of all age groups.
Body-powered prostheses
High stability, easy handling and more independence – mechanical upper limb prostheses are ideally suited for manual activities in difficult conditions or outdoor activities.
Passive arm prostheses
Amputees who value the appearance of their prosthesis rather than its functionality are well advised to obtain a passive arm prosthesis.
Custom aesthetic prostheses
The advantage of a silicone fitting is its high wearing comfort through its precise adaption to your hand shape.
Arm prostheses for children
The arm prosthesis system for children provides a high level of functionality and good optical adaptation, allowing your child to effortlessly explore their surroundings.
