Vispala Technologies launched iGrip a voluntary closing prosthetic hand system designed to deliver outstanding performance and control with minimal effort. The 3D printed prosthetic device iGrip is lightweight, affordable, and user-friendly.
- (1888PressRelease) August 31, 2021 - Vispala Technologies is a leading medical technology company headquartered in Kolkata, India. Vispala offers advanced, efficient, and affordable hand prosthetic devices for people with upper limb disabilities. The Company has named its new body-powered hand prosthesis as iGrip.
Apart from iGrip, Vispala is developing an array of products (3D Printed Sockets and Covers for Prosthesis and Assistive Robotics) for people with upper limb mobility impairment. Designed with top-notch quality and 3D printing technology, iGrip assists amputees to fulfill individual goals like returning to work, becoming independent, and earning a livelihood.
As per sources, iGrip will boost the self-confidence of people suffering from limb loss due to multiple reasons.
In a world population of approximately 6.7 billion, there are around 10 million amputees. They are the survivors of a road accident or industrial mishaps, diabetes, or birth defects. More than two lakhs of amputation operations are performed annually in India, but very few amputees receive proper medical care. People cannot afford prosthetic devices due to their high price. To address this problem, the team Vispala has developed iGrip to broaden the access of prosthetic limbs and deliver a low-cost, easy-to-use solution to reinforce the living standard of amputees.
Vispala iGrip is a voluntary-closing system and an ultralight device that gives superior gripping control. The user-friendly and ergonomic product is easy to maintain and comes with great load capacity. Users can operate the terminal device from the opposite shoulder through a harness and control cable.
Being an environment-friendly company, Vispala has made sure that iGrip is made from 100% recyclable materials. Moreover, the company has integrated iGrip with features like a 3D printed body constructed with industrial-grade polymer, 360-degree wrist rotation, and a stainless-steel linkage mechanism. These features provide iGrip resistance from rust and corrosion.
While designing and planning iGrip, one of the greatest objectives that we had was to come up with a product that is super-efficient, easy to adapt with physical connotations, and should be automated. After several rounds of brainstorming, and discussions our team came up with the idea of iGrip. This prosthetic hand system is a perfect fusion of modern technology and natural functionality. The technical and designing team of Vispala proudly stated the journey of iGrip development.
