MC ProHand Works With Otto Bock Systems
The ProHand* from Motion Control is a new
version of the Motion Control Hand which can be used with existing
Otto Bock systems. Myoelectric arm wearers can be upgraded to the
new MC Hand with an optional flexion wrist without having to
fabricate a whole new prosthesis. The flexion wrist option can be
included without adding any additional length to the Hand.
The Motion Control ProHand offers the same advanced
proportional control of the ProControl 2* and uses the ProControl 2
software and computer interface*. It has all the advantages of the
standard MC Hand, including stronger fingers, a strong motor and
the patented Safety Release feature. The ProHand is
available in 7 1/4, 7 3/4, and 8 1/4 sizes, fits standard gloves,
uses a Quick Disconnect Wrist, and offers a Short Hand option for
wrist disarticulations.

“off-the-shelf”-specifically designed to cover existing lower-limb
prostheses. Medicare and Medicaid will pay for Derma~flex.
Like Alatheia’s Dermatos® custom-made silicone hand and
feet restorations, Derma~flex is made of high-tech, medical-grade
silicone, has a translucent life-like skin appearance and skin
detail, and is virtually stain-proof. It is available in 36
polychromatic colors-the most offered in the industry-as well as
customized color and different toe and toenail options.
Available in BK, AK, and AK discontinuous lengths,
Derma~flex dons in seconds! No heat gun or glue is needed.
Prosthetists can go back into the leg for repairs without damaging
the skin.

GeoLite Knee Features Polycentric Design
GeoLite Knee Features Polycentric Design The
GeoLite Knee from the Ohio Willow Wood Company is one of the
lightest and shortest friction-controlled polycentric knees
available on the market today. Targeted towards activity levels one
and two, the GeoLite will return to full extension when flexed up
to 20 degrees under load-without the use of any mechanical
locks.
GeoLite wearers comment on feeling completely secure and stable
with this knee. The GeoLite Knee features the same
friction-controlled polycentric design as the GeoFlex Knee, and it
can accommodate a hip flexion contracture without losing knee
stability.

OP-FULL Offset Plate
OP-FULL Offset Plate New from Prosthetic Design,
Inc. (PDI), the full 1.418″ Offset Plate, or OP-FULL, is a hard
anodized aluminum endoskeletal component that can be used to obtain
proper alignment in lower limb prostheses. The OP-FULL can offset
towards Anterior, Posterior, Medial or Lateral. According to PDI,
the OP-FULL may be used to achieve a safer alignment for a
Transfemoral amputee by offsetting the socket towards Anterior with
respect to the knee-shin system. The OP-FULL is constructed of 3/8″
thick hard anodized aluminum, is rated to 220 lbs normal gait
activity, weighs only 4 ounces, has a hole for locking pin
protrusion, and can interface between most socket and lower
extremity endoskeletal systems that utilize a standard European
4-hole pattern.
