Greetings from Nebraska! I am a Rural Rehabilitation Specialist with the Easter Seals Nebraska AgrAbility program. I serve Nebraska farmers, ranchers and their families who have been affected by disability. I am currently providing services to 2 gentlemen, each who have used the Trautman Hook prosthetic for about 50 years. This hook is no longer being made. They have tried other options and have not been happy with them. We have searched many avenues for replacement hooks for these men. For that reason, I am trying to locate a right and a left trautman hook. If you have any available or any advice on where such might be located, we would be forever grateful!!!

Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Sincerely,



Cindy Hinrichs
Nebraska AgrAbility
