WILMER Central Operated Hook

Product Code: WHK-8

This WILMER hook is part of a unique prosthetic system for children with a unilateral arm defect. The central pushrod operation system provides voluntary opening terminal devices with an operating power totally independent of the wrist rotation angle. Furthermore the control cable is situated inside the forearm socket; this offers a dramatic reduction of wear of clothing. The exchange of the hook for a hand is very simple as there is no need to detach the control cable.
