I want to buy a smart prosthesis for my brother. Which brand is good?
Can be equipped with electromechanical prostheses. The most advanced prosthetic limb in the world is the intelligent bionic prosthetic limb, which is now available for pre-order.
On July 23, 2007, in New York, the United States, Juan Arredondo, an American soldier who lost his left hand in the Iraq War, demonstrated the functions of a new bionic prosthesis.
A bionic hand that can complete complex movements that ordinary prosthetics cannot do is first launched in the UK. According to the British "Daily Mail" report on the 20th, this bionic hand called i-LIMB allows users to smoothly perform fine movements such as unlocking, entering passwords, and opening cans, as flexibly as a real hand.
i-LIMB bionic hand is manufactured by "Bionic Contact" company in Livingstone, County Lothian, UK. The inventor is the British National Health Service in County Lothian, Scotland. Dr. David Gao.
The bionic hand is connected to the user's arm through an arm sleeve, which contains a rechargeable battery and a pair of electrodes. When the user thinks about moving their hands, brain signals are collected by electrodes in the arm cuff. The electrodes transmit brain signals to a microcomputer located on the back of the bionic hand, which then sends instructions to the motor nerves in the fingers to move the fingers.
This bionic hand is made of lightweight plastic commonly used in car engine parts. It is lighter than a real hand and is covered with a layer of artificial skin that is highly realistic and beautiful in appearance. Advanced functions
Ordinary artificial hands usually only have one motor nerve, which can only complete some simple actions, and cannot meet the user's requirements for unlocking, entering passwords and other actions. Each of the five fingers of the i-LIMB bionic hand has one motor nerve, so it can complete more precise movements, which perfectly makes up for the shortcomings of similar products and brings great convenience to users.
The wrist of the bionic hand can move freely, and all five fingers can rotate freely and move independently. It can successfully complete actions such as unlocking, raising a wine glass, and carrying plates. It can even perform such delicate actions as entering a password and opening a can.
The new bionic hand is currently on sale in limited quantities, priced at £8,500 (approximately US$17,000).
