griefer and dermatos hand. Many Dermatos® clients require a griefer (shown far left) to perform jobs that a hand shaped prosthesis can not do.

This patient is able to remove the Dermatos® myo-electric hand and attach the griefer unit.

The griefer unit can have up to 60 pounds of pressure in pinch force. The mechanical design of the unit also allows the wearer to perform tasks that require a high degree of accuracy- such as removing a nut from a bolt.
