Cyber-hand

Cyber-hand was a term used by the Eleventh Doctor to describe the hand parts of the Cyberman, attached to the Cyber-arm of its Cyber-body. (PROSE: Plague of the Cybermen)

Created by surviving Cybusmen in the 1851 incident, the Cybershades had bronze metal hands with flexible Cyberfingers which they used to scuttle on all fours. Together with their faceplate, these was their only visible non-organic parts.

Weapons-grade Cybermen were capable of detaching parts of their Cyber-body including their hands. On Hedgewick's World of Wonders, one Cyberman used this ability to kill Missy. (TV: Nightmare in Silver)
