Finger, Hand, Partial Arms Prosthetic in Miami FL

This varies by device type and complexity, but for most patients it’s a matter of weeks rather than months. Myoelectric devices generally take longer than passive silicone ones due to the additional sensor calibration and training involved. We’ll give you a realistic timeline specific to your case during your first consultation.

We serve Miami residents through our nationwide consultation model — we come to you rather than requiring an in-office visit.

A passive silicone prosthetic restores appearance and light support but doesn’t move on its own. A myoelectric prosthetic actively responds to your muscle signals, letting you grip and release objects — but it requires an adjustment period, occasional maintenance for the electronics, and more day-to-day engagement than a passive device. Some patients start with a passive device and upgrade later; that’s a completely normal path.

Coverage depends on your specific plan and whether the device is classified as medically necessary — functional (myoelectric) devices are often more likely to receive partial coverage than purely cosmetic ones, though this varies by insurer. We can help you understand your specific situation during a consultation.

This is normal, especially early on — we handle follow-up adjustments as part of ongoing care rather than treating the initial fitting as the end of the process.

Cost depends heavily on the type of device (passive silicone vs. myoelectric), the level of customization, and your specific level of amputation — there’s no single number that applies broadly, since every prosthetic is built individually. The most accurate way to understand your cost is a free consultation, where we assess your specific case and walk you through a personalized quote.

We use medical-grade silicone, chosen because it’s hypoallergenic, holds color and skin-tone matching accurately over time, and flexes naturally at the joints — which matters if the prosthetic is worn daily rather than occasionally. It also tends to last longer under normal wear than lower-grade materials, though it still requires the same basic care (avoiding harsh chemicals, regular cleaning) as any silicone product.

This affects fitting complexity more than it limits your options. A residual limb with scarring or an unusual shape typically requires more custom engineering in the socket and attachment method, but it doesn’t rule out either passive or myoelectric solutions — it just means the molding and fitting process may take more careful attention. We assess this directly during your consultation rather than making assumptions beforehand.

Yes — we work with both pediatric and adult patients. Pediatric prosthetics are approached differently, since a child’s needs shift as they grow, which affects both the design and the expected replacement schedule.

Yes, this is a common path. Many patients start with a passive device — often for cost, timeline, or simplicity reasons — and move to a myoelectric option later if their needs or goals change. A good provider designs the initial fitting with that possibility in mind rather than treating it as a one-time, unchangeable decision.
