Our company is a device manufacturer specializing in alternative prosthesis devices. We are focused on building a partial hand prosthesis system that uses our proprietary actuator technology. Our technology allows for an easier and more comfortable fit to the user. Because the weight is shifted onto the residual limb users are not chafed by the weight. This chafing can cause pressure sores and limb re-amputation meaning additional limb loss. The technology can also scale to any user’s height allowing for a more aesthetically pleasing device for all users.
Vulcan Finger Segment Prototype
This video shows the first segment of a prosthesis finger utilizing the new actuator architecture we are currently proofing at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute’s Center for Automation and Technology Systems.
