CareExo Lift is a passive exoskeleton for the care sector and can be cleaned particularly quickly.
Everything you need to know about the features and benefits of the Care Exo Lift from Hunic for the care industry need to know.
The Care Exo Lift is extremely lightweight yet effective. It is a body-mounted lifting and carrying aid, which is specially modified for use in the care sector. In collaboration with physical therapists, sports scientists, designers, and those with concerns, a system was created to assist caregivers in lifting and mobilizing individuals up to 21% and to promote ergonomic movement. However, the support of an exoskeleton does not guarantee ergonomic performance of the activity. The CareExo Lift's patented back system guides the caregiver into an upright posture. During lifting movements, there is a subtle sensitization to an upright spine that is as straight as possible. Grab handles allow patients to hold on for stabilization and support when needed. The sheathing of the CareExo Lift handles can be replaced in seconds. Cleaning and disinfection are easy to perform and make compliance with hygiene rules straightforward. The Care Exo is available in one size.
The CareExo Lift passive exoskeleton is specifically designed to assist caregivers in their daily workflow and reduce the risk of injury and fatigue. Using the CareExo Lift revolutionizes patient transfers while minimizing back discomfort and physical injuries that can result from manual lifting. The patented back system of the CareExo Lift guides the caregiver into an upright posture and sensitizes them to ergonomic working.
The handles of the CareExo Lift can be easily replaced and all "soft" parts of the exoskeleton are washable, allowing for easy cleaning and disinfection. In addition, the CareExo Lift offers comfort and quality with padded shoulder straps, an adjustable waist belt and breathable materials. This ensures a comfortable feel during use.
The CareExo Lift enables effective kinesthetic work, relieves back strain, actively engages patients and reduces sick leave. It is an ideal lifting aid for care facilities that want to ensure the safety and comfort of staff. Depending on the setting level, the CareExo Lift can provide up to 21% of relief and supports the wearer by reducing muscle activity and decreasing the risk of injury.
The CareExo Lift can be cleaned easily, as the handles are replaceable and the "soft" parts of the exoskeleton are washable. This ensures hygienic use of the device. The CareExo Lift passive exoskeleton was designed and built by HUNIC GmbH to support healthcare professionals and ease their workload.
The Care Exo Lift from Hunic is an industrial exoskeleton designed specifically for use in the care industry.

The exoskeleton is offered in Europe at a net price of EUR 2,400 and is subject to CE marking. It requires no maintenance and has a one-year warranty. The product has been tested by Orthexo and is located and manufactured in Germany. An instruction manual is not available, but the manufacturer offers a trial package for three weeks at a price of 2,500 EUR. The Care Exo Lift is a proven caregiving tool that provides comfort and support for caregivers.
The CareExo Lift relieves pressure by up to 21%, depending on the setting level, and thus supports its wearer. State-of-the-art measurement methods (electromyography) reveal a significant reduction in muscle activity. As a result, less fatigue sets in during the working day, muscular disorders are prevented and the risk of injury is reduced.

The CareExo Lift has been designed to easily adapt to body dimensions to fit most people. For best possible effectiveness and excellent comfort, individual parts can also be adjusted to optimize posture and meet personal preferences.
The CareExo Lift is designed for continuous use of at least 3 years if used properly and cleaned adequately. Due to the modular design, wearing parts can be easily replaced in the interest of sustainability.
As an exoskeleton for nursing care, the CareExo Lift can be easily washed in a conventional washing machine at 30°C by using textiles. System parts that come into direct physical contact with a patient (handles) can be disinfected and replaced quickly and hygienically.
The Care Exo Lift from Hunic is pointedly positioned for use in care. We tested the solution on 5/13/2023. The exoskeleton arrives in an incredibly well-designed backpack. This is air-permeable, extremely lightweight, customizable, and so far has the best transport option of all the exoskeletons tested. The exoskeleton has two grab handles that patients can hold onto when lifting themselves out of a bed or wheelchair. This idea is extremely smart and works flawlessly. You can tell that the exoskeleton provides extremely good support when you lean forward slightly. So it's not for lifting heavy goods from a squatting position like other exoskeletons, but for lifting in a bent-forward position. Nursing staff often wear a coat to store the ward telephone and all keys in it. This would also be possible here, although the trouser pockets would probably have to remain empty. Sitting is absolutely no problem, so the nursing specialist can do the documentation without undressing and disturbing.
The tech startup Hunic was founded in 2017 by Jonas Mast in Baiersbronn and funded in a Companisto crowdfunding. In 2022, the team launched a renewed funding goal of EUR 300,000 on Conda.at. According to Hunic, the company's revenue has tripled since 2019 and is aiming for revenue growth of EUR one million in 2022.
