Pat,

If I may ask, what style terminal device ("hand") does your student use? Is it myoelectric or body-powered? Hook, simple hand or articulated hand? And does it have a wrist rotator and/or flexor?

I wear a prosthetic myself and as a high school chemistry teacher I'm more or less on my own when managing lab equipment. I've got a lot of experience with a variety of terminal devices, but any advice I've got would depend on the terminal device in use.

Let me know. I'd be happy to help out if I can.

Semper Fi,

Hi all,

A student's prosthetic hand has been damaged (not lab related) and unfortunately they now have very limited ability to grasp/steady items such as graduated cylinders, flasks, etc. Does anyone know of some sort of countertop item that could help stabilize graduated cylinders and other "tippy" items? I can imagine a few creative designs but I would rather have a commercial ADA-type product if possible. I've done a small bit of online searching but no luck so far; I'm probably not using the correct search words.

Thanks

Pat
