prosthesis was referred from Northwestern University to the Shriners
Hospital, Los Angeles. The CAPP T.D. was developed at the UCLA Child
Amputee Prosthetics Project. Following is some information on both CAPP
T.D. #1 and #2.
CAPP T.D. #2 was designed for adolescent and adult amputees. The CAPP
T.D. #1 can be used for patients up to the ages of 10 - 12 yewars
dependding on the size of the child.

Steven,
Hosmer still sells quite a few CAPP TD's. The advantage of this system is
that it requires less effort to open the spring loaded system. It is more
appealing to the parents and it has an outside and inside pull. It can be
used as an interim passive device until the prosthesis is activated. The
rubber grip surface adapts to many shapes. The disadvantages are that the
hand does block objects from view more than a hook and it has nominal grip
strength. Also a hand is still more appealing cosmetically.
All in all it is not a bad functional option.
