Finally reaching out with your own hands again - despite a lack of grip strength.
Everything you need to know about the features and benefits of the Carbon hand: Get a Grip - Bionic hand orthosis from Bioservo need to know.
The Carbon Hand (also from Bioservio) is a hand orthosis for people with Grip weakness (in case of complete functional failure of the hand, it cannot be used). It amplifies gripping movements, i.e. when the user touches an object and applies very light pressure, this pressure is multiplied by the orthosis.
There are sensors on the fingertips that are connected to artificial tendons and a small battery-powered device.
The orthosis is like a glove that covers the thumb, ring and middle fingers.
These are connected by artificial tendons to a small, battery-powered device that the user wears on a belt, for example. The gripping movement is reinforced by a contraction, i.e. shortening, of these artificial tendons.
Touch sensitivity and pressure of the sensors can be adjusted individually and for each finger via app.
The effect of Carbonhand is immediate. With an applied force of up to 20 Newtons (N) per finger, a majority of patients with limited hand strength can regain most of their hand function and resume activities and household tasks. In addition, several studies conclude that many patients enjoy a stronger grip, improved hand function and a more independent life, even when the Carbonhand is removed.
If you have a hand dysfunction, the Carbonhand Orthosis can help you. The Carbonhand Orthosis is a product that helps people with limitations in grasping and holding objects. This product is designed for people with hand dysfunction to make their lives easier.
