The newest member of Touch Bionics' i-LIMB family represents a significant advance for the product line, with a host of enhancements including pulsing grip strength, multiple software-enabled grip patterns and robust aluminium features for improved user confidence.

The i-LIMB Pulse joins a family of products that has been fitted to more than 1,200 patients worldwide, and its development has been driven by Touch Bionics' experiences in the marketplace as the pioneer of fully articulating myoelectric prosthetic hands.

Robust
With an aluminium chassis, knuckles and dislocators, the i-LIMB Pulse's robust design features make it Touch Bionics' toughest prosthetic device yet, capable of supporting a load of up to 90kg.
While the same candidates for the original i-LIMB Hand are also candidates for the new i-LIMB Pulse, the aluminium features expand the product line's potential user base to include a segment of the population that are seeking a device that can accommodate increased activity levels.

Strong
The i-LIMB Pulse is so called because it utilises Touch Bionics' patented pulsing technology to provide increasing and controllable grip strength to each individual digit.

When the i-LIMB Pulse closes on an object, the user has the option to use the pulsing effect to apply significant additional grip force, allowing the device to grasp an object very tightly. This effect is generated by sending rapid, high-frequency electronic pulses to the finger motors, driving them to close more securely around an object.

This increased grip strength is invaluable when a user needs to apply greater force for activities of daily living such as tying shoelaces, gripping a light switch cord or doing-up a belt.

Versatile
With a range of automated features that allow various combinations of grip patterns and other digit-postures to be activated by the user, the i-LIMB Pulse offers an unparalleled degree of flexibility for its users. Patterns like index point, precision pinch, lateral key grip and three jaw chuck (tripod) are all now easily activated in a single action by the user.

Key to the i-LIMB Pulse is BioSim, Touch Bionics' new Bluetooth-enabled software that allows prosthetists and, for the first time ever, users to select the features and control strategies that work best for them.

Low-profile
Touch Bionics has worked with literally hundreds of clients and the majority of users prefer a smaller, low-profile device, and as a result the i-LIMB Pulse is offered in a lifelike low-profile design as standard. Available in two sizes, the hand is suitable for both male and female users.
