A Product Line to Extend the Range of Dexterous Technology

Anthropomorphic Design: Life-Like Movement

• Developed under DARPA Revolutionizing Prosthetics 2009 Program
• Multiple Grasp Patterns
• Powered, Opposable Thumb Function

Leading Scientists Create Today’s New Generation Technology
The Contineo™ Family of upper extremity technologies is derived in part from the Revolutionizing Prosthetics 2009 Program, a $70 million DARPA Program previously led by Orthocare Innovations’ Chief Science Officer, Stuart Harshbarger. Orthocare Innovations will introduce the Multi-Grasp Hand as the first commercial product resulting from this program.

Anthropomorphic Design: Life-Like Movement
The Multi-Grasp Hand offers life-like performance. With four intrinsic motors and integrated transmission assemblies, it provides natural compliant grasping of objects. Each of the fingers and thumb have both interphalangeal and metacarpal articulation and the thumb features powered abduction/adduction — a feature unique in the field.

Advanced Control Enables Greater Functional Abilities
Using patent-pending next generation control approaches, the Multi-Grasp Hand provides simpler user-initiated prosthesis control. With six distinct grasp patterns and natural anthropomorphic contouring, the Multi-Grasp Hand offers improved function without increasing demands on the user.
