Creates custom hands (etc.) using computer aided manufacturing techniques
and professional artists to create high quality silicon prostheses. A-Pear
works closely with the prosthetist to gather all pertinent info necessary
for creating a prosthesis long-distance which is a replication of, and
mirror of, the extant limb. This is a matching hand (Limb), not just a
similar hand. The process captures all surface detail, including
fingerprints and is made from the highest-grade tear resistant silicone and
permanent lightfast colors. The coloring is internal to the material and
therefore does not wear off or fade. Each Hand is custom painted to match
the subtle and distinctive personal patterns of each patient. The nails are
UV resistant composites and a standard component, which gives the
prosthesis an exceptionally realistic appearance. They are suspension fit
or can be fabricated to cover another device such as a myoelectric hand.
The process is easy, takes about four weeks and is very competitively priced.
Life expectancy is 5-7 years depending on care and use.
