Myoelectric and Microprocessor
Ossur i-limb™ quantum: Incorporating Touch Bionics’ patented i-mo™ technology, i-limb™ quantum is the only upper extremity prosthesis that can change grips with a simple gesture. Gesture control enables an automated grip to be accessed by moving the i-limb quantum in one of four directions. The quantum’s act as fully functioning hands. They respond to commands faster, are lightweight, and their anatomical styling in three sizes fits female amputees. Finger flexibility and grip options allow for typing, picking up small objects, holding delicate items, and much more.
Ossur i-digits™ quantum: With redesigned componentry and digits, the prosthesis for partial hand amputees from Touch Bionics is smarter, faster, stronger, and smaller than its predecessors. Wearers can quickly utilize the many grips available through the activation of gesture control, which allows the user to quickly access many grips in performing everyday tasks. The new design is not only slimmer, but also lighter, allowing users to easily wear their prosthesis all day.
Ottobock DynamicArm Elbow: Giving users the power and speed to get things done, it incorporates a powerful electric motor to help both flex and extend the elbow – while lifting up to 11 lbs. The DynamicArm is controlled entirely by myoelectric signals. In addition to hand and rotation of wrist joint, elbow joint flexion can also be controlled by muscle signals. These special technology features are integrated in an elbow joint-forearm system with a natural, anatomic design. The shape and basic color blend in with the overall image of the human body.
Ottobock SensorHand Speed: Featuring the automatic Auto-Grasp SUVA sensor technology, the FlexiGrip function, an integrated slip clutch allows the hand to be opened in case of power supply or myoelectric control failure.
Ottobock bebionic: This hand features individual motors in each finger, which allows the user to move the hand and grip in a natural coordinated way. Powerful microprocessors continuously monitor the position of each finger for precise, reliable control over hand movements. The hand has 14 selectable grip patterns, proportional speed control, and auto grip sensor. The wireless programmer and bebalance custom software allow the hand’s performance and control options to be fully customized.
Ottobock Michelangelo®: This hand has seven functional options, including a moveable thumb, allowing the user to pick up objects sideways, grip flat items from the side, carry cylindrical objects with a large diameter, and hold small objects securely using the thumb, middle finger, and index finger to form a three-point support. A neutral mode allows for resting the hand in a natural position.
Taska Hand: Allowing five-finger movement, wrist flexibility, and complete control of movement, the TASKA™ Hand can support up to 44 lbs., it’s waterproof, and can perform even the gentlest of tasks such as lifting an egg out of a carton.
MCPDriver™: A prosthesis from Naked Prosthetics, this devise restores strength and articulation for those who have suffered an amputation closer to the hand.
Texas Assistive Devices (TAD): Specializing in work-related and activities-of-daily-living componentry for upper extremity amputees and for those with hand dysfunction, TAD has a solution to aid users in performing a wide variety of everyday tasks, from kitchen utensils to gardening tools and products for sport and leisure activities.
TRS: Specialized terminal devices and other products to enlarge the functional envelope for body-powered prosthesis users. TRS focuses mainly on sports and recreational devices.
