I have a sixty-five year old Bilateral Trans Radial Amputee. He is very Active and hard on his present prostheses . He is finding the weight is getting to be a bit much. he would like to go to a lighter system. At present he has Steeper HD Wrist Units (72 gms), Adaptor Plate ( 46 gms) , Hosmer Single Axis Hinge joints (184 gms) , Stainless Steel Custom Hooks ( Alum. hooks he bents out of shape in a short period of time) .

I am looking for ideas to lighten up the prostheses

Thank You for any Ideas
