Impact-Resistance
The resistance mechanism of the Zeus allows its novel, damage-resistant fingers to flex when facing any impact, protecting them from breakage and allowing the Zeus to be very durable.
Customizability
With 12 completely customizable grip patterns, combined with a wide array of control mechanisms, the Zeus can be truly customized for the patient`s unique usage profile.
Soft Grip
The Zeus comes with a force limiting feature, Soft Crip. This feature enables a light touch, preventing the Zeus from unintentionally breaking fragile objects and giving patients a greater peace of mind.
Power Grip
Thumb is opposed, while the other four fingers close around the object. This strong grip provides 34.17lbf/152N of force spread over all four fingers and thumb. Individual finger stalling allows the grip to conform to the shape of the object, such as a wine glass.
Trigger Grip
Useful for operating appliances which require trigger mechanisms like spray bottles. The hand grasps and conforms to the shape of the object while the index and middle finger are controlled proportionally to operate the trigger mechanism.
Precision Open Grip
The thumb moves to a midpoint and stops. The index finger forms a pinch while the middle, ring, and little fingers remain open. Used for picking up small, fragile objects.
Precision Closed Grip
This grip proportionally controls the index finger to form a grip while the middle, ring, and little finger close fully. This grip can be used for picking up small objects from a table such as a piece of paper.
Tripod Open Grip
The thumb assumes a mid-point position while the index and middle finger move to reach the tip of the thumb. The ring finger and little finger remain open. Allows users to hold a variety of common objects such as a pen, car keys, or an egg.
Tripod Closed Grip
The thumb assumes a mid-point position while the index and middle finger move to reach the tip of the thumb. The ring finger and little finger close fully. Allows users to hold medium sized objects and to carry out basic activities.
Finger Point
Using this grip, the index finger is active and in a pointing position with the rest of the fingers closed. This can be used for flipping switches and pushing buttons.
Active Index
This grip keeps the index finger active and in a pointing position with the rest of the fingers open. This can be used for working on a computer keyboard and performing activities such as typing.
Open Palm
The hand opens to the extent where it provides a slight curvature to support plates, bowls, and books. The rubberized palm provides a flat, non- slippery surface to securely hold objects in this grip.
Hook Grip
Self-locking fingers and static grip capacity of 77lbs/35kgs, allowing users to lift heavy objects with ease. Can also be used to provide support when getting up from a seated position and lifting heavy objects like briefcases, shopping bags, and gym equipment.
Key Grip
The four fingers assume a position to provide a flat platform for the thumb tto open and close. A commonly used grip for picking up thin flat objects, or performing activities such as holding a key or turning a page.
Mouse Grip
This grip is used to operate a computer mouse. The hand assumes the position of the mouse while the index and ring finger can be controlled to push left and right buttons respectively.
Using our software, clinicians gain access to the Zeus configuration application. The software is designed for accredited prosthetists to make changes in the Zeus’ settings, enabling a fine-tuning of functions for users.
Using this application, practitioners can control the EMG settings that control the Zeus, choose from available user grips, modify the finger positions for each grip, and activate more advanced functions of the hand.
The interface software is designed for use by qualified and Zeus-certified prosthetists.
