On the FCGL, Wonderful carries a silicone cosmetic cover beyond the hand and along the forearm, which makes it a long glove for an upper limb prosthesis. Its printed name is Cosmetic glove with/without filed Long, and the with/without in that name marks the two versions the glove is made in. Silicone is the material throughout. Three sizes are listed, L, M and S, and the long length is a set pattern made in those sizes, so each glove is chosen by size.

That long length is what the FCGL is for. A sleeve pushed to the elbow on a hot afternoon, a short-sleeved blouse at a summer lunch or a cuff folded back at a workbench all leave the forearm on show. With silicone continuing up the arm, the person wearing the prosthesis can choose clothes for the weather and the occasion, and the arm reads as one finished limb at the table, on the platform or in a photograph. That freedom over what to wear is the patient experience the glove is built around.

The rest of the configuration is simple to set out. Each FCGL is a single silicone glove in one size and one of its two versions. It forms the outer, cosmetic layer of the prosthesis, covering the hand and the forearm section beneath it. The three sizes give the prosthetist a starting point that matches the scale of the wearer's other hand and arm.

It is available to business buyers in more than 80 countries.

The FCGL belongs in prosthetic and orthotic clinics, limb-fitting centres and the technical workshops where upper limb prostheses are finished. Prosthetists and prosthetic technicians fit it as the final cosmetic layer, drawing the long silicone glove over the prosthetic hand and along the forearm once the arm is assembled. The three sizes, L, M and S, let a clinic hold a glove in proportion with the arms it fits.

The people it serves are wearers of a prosthetic hand whose clothes leave the lower arm in view. Summer is the obvious case. Short sleeves, sleeveless dresses and linen shirts with the cuffs turned back all expose the forearm, and a cover running past the wrist keeps the prosthesis looking whole in those clothes. Working life brings the same need: a teacher at a whiteboard, a chef with sleeves pushed up, or an office worker who rolls up a shirt by mid-afternoon.

Occasions matter to wearers as much as the weather does. Weddings, graduations and family celebrations tend to involve formal clothes, close company and cameras, and a long cosmetic glove lets a wearer choose a fitted blouse or a short-sleeved dress for the day. For many people, being able to dress for the event without arranging the outfit around the prosthesis is the point of the glove.

Rehabilitation teams meet this need too. Once a wearer has settled into daily use of a prosthetic hand, talk often turns to appearance, clothing and confidence in public, and the FCGL gives the clinic a direct answer for anyone who wants the forearm covered as well. Its two versions widen the choice within the same long, ready-sized pattern.

Freedom over sleeve length

The glove continues along the forearm, so a wearer can pick short sleeves, three-quarter sleeves or rolled cuffs to suit the day. Clothing decisions follow the weather and the occasion.

A finished look with the arm bare

When the lower arm is visible, the silicone surface carries on up it in one piece. The prosthesis presents as a single limb from the fingertips upward, and that continuity is the reason to choose a long glove.

Discretion in close company

Handshakes, shared meals and conversation across a desk bring other people close to the arm. A long cosmetic cover keeps attention on the person and the conversation.

Suited to warm months

Hot weather is when sleeves come off and cuffs go up. The FCGL is built for exactly those weeks, covering the lower arm on the days a jacket or long sleeve is set aside.

Confidence at events and in photographs

Formal occasions often call for fitted or short-sleeved clothes, and pictures from them last for years. A wearer can dress for the event and appear in those images with the forearm covered.

Three sizes held ready

Sizes L, M and S let a clinic match the glove to the wearer's build from stock it already holds. A fitting can move from assembly to the cosmetic finish in the same appointment.

Two versions in one pattern

The with/without in the product name marks two versions of the long glove. That gives the prosthetist and the wearer a choice between them while keeping the same length and sizing.

Silicone as the visible surface

Silicone forms the whole outer layer that other people see. It is the single material across the hand and forearm, giving the covered arm one consistent surface.

Long glove length

Long is the length of the FCGL. It takes the cover past the wrist and along the forearm.

Forearm coverage

Beyond the hand, the silicone covers the forearm section of the prosthesis. This is the part left visible by short or rolled sleeves.

Hand covering

The glove forms the outer surface of the prosthetic hand, from the fingertips across the palm and back of the hand.

Silicone construction

Silicone is the listed material. The whole glove, from fingers to forearm, is made from it.

Size L

The large size suits wearers with a broad hand and a heavier forearm on their other side.

Size M

Medium sits between the other two sizes, for a hand and forearm of middling build.

Size S

The small size gives a slighter arm a cover in proportion with the wearer's own hand.

Two versions

Its printed name, Cosmetic glove with/without filed Long, identifies two versions. Each glove is one or the other.

Set sizing

The long length is made as a set pattern in the three sizes. A glove is selected by size and fitted over the finished arm.

Cosmetic layer of the prosthesis

As the outermost layer, the glove gives the prosthesis its appearance. Everything beneath it, the hand and forearm structure, sits inside the silicone.

Fitted after assembly

The glove goes on once the prosthesis is complete. It therefore belongs to the finishing stage of a fitting.

Item number FCGL

Wonderful lists the glove under item number FCGL. The code identifies the long silicone cosmetic glove within the maker's range.

The FCGL suits wearers of a prosthetic hand who want the forearm covered as well, and it earns its place on the days the arm is on show. Short sleeves in summer, a cuff rolled back at work and a fitted outfit for a family celebration all leave the lower arm visible, and the long silicone length keeps the prosthesis looking complete through each of them. For clinics, the three ready sizes and two versions make it a practical glove to keep for the finishing appointment, chosen against the wearer's other arm and drawn on once the build is done. Its case rests on that length: a cosmetic cover made long, in silicone, in sizes L, M and S.

Yes. The long length is a set pattern, made in the three listed sizes. That makes the glove a ready choice for a clinic, picked by size and fitted over the finished prosthesis.

The full name is Cosmetic glove with/without filed Long. The with/without marks two versions of the FCGL, and each glove is supplied as one version or the other.

The glove is made of silicone. It is the silicone that forms the visible surface of the hand and forearm once the glove is on.

It suits people who wear a prosthetic hand and want the forearm covered as well. Wearers who favour short sleeves, sleeveless tops or rolled-up shirts in warm months gain most from the extra length.

Yes. Clothing of that kind is exactly what the long length answers, because the silicone carries on past the point where the sleeve ends. The arm then reads as a continuous limb from the fingertips upward.

It is the outermost layer. The glove goes on over the prosthetic hand and the forearm section once the arm is built, and it gives the finished prosthesis its cosmetic surface.
