Wrist unit

Posted By: Kelli Huber on December 12, 2016

I have patient with this old wrist unit. These units have been discontinued by Ottobock. The patient prosthesis does not have the inner nylon sleeve that secures the ball in place or the nut that holds the ball on to the hand. I was wondering if anyone out there might have some of these spare parts hanging around. If not I am look for ideas on how to replace these items without the actual parts form Ottobock. I realize I can just get a nut and washer to secure the ball unit but the nylon interface would be hard to replace. Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you Kelli
