Left Mechanical Hand

Judith Oreski

We have a student in the Median School technician program who is a =
congenital Left wrist disarticulation and has never had the opportunity =
to be fit with a prosthesis. As part of our curriculum we fabricate a =
conventional BE prosthesis and we used him as a model. We have hook =
type terminal devices that he was able to experiment with but he really =
wants to try a mechanical hand. Does anyone have a new or used Left =
adult mechanical hand they would be willing to donate for him to =
experiment with. Also, does anyone have any of the old metal Hosmer =
Dorrance hands that work? We have two that we have dismantled but =
cannot get back to working condition–maybe if we saw one in working =
order we could successfully troubleshoot ours. Thank you. Judith =
