About Ironhand1.2
Ironhand is a modular system that consists of a glove, a power pack, a carry
solution and two arm straps. The Ironhand glove mimics the user's grasp
movements and gives extra strength and endurance to the grasp. This relieves
the muscles and conserves the energy of the user.
Ironhand use a function called Smart Assist to learn from the users movements
over time, but can also be configured to meet specific needs of each user. To
get the best user experience from using Ironhand, make sure to adjust carrying
solutions and system configurations.
Ironhand is intended to be used by individuals who are at risk of developing
musculoskeletal disorders (MSD's) or who need extra strength and endurance
in the grasp.
