Touch Bionics Launches iLimb Pulse

Touch Bionics has come out with a new model of it's i-LIMB hand called the i-LIMB Pulse. According to the press release the i-LIMB Pulse is a significant advance for the i-LIMB product line, with a host of enhancements, including pulsing grip strength, software-enabled grip patterns and robust aluminium features for improved strength.

When the i-LIMB Pulse closes on an object, the user has the option to use the pulsing feature to apply significant additional grip force, allowing the device to grasp an object more tightly. These high-frequency electronic pulses are very important in everyday activities for users, such as tying shoelaces or doing-up a belt. With an aluminium chassis, the i-LIMB Pulse's robust design features make it Touch Bionics' toughest prosthetic device yet, capable of carrying a load of up to 90kg.

The i-LIMB Pulse begins shipping on June 1, 2010, and Touch Bionics is currently accepting orders on the product.
