When Steeper required intricate prototype and production components for a miniaturised version of their bebionic prosthetic hand they turned to RP Technologies for their wide ranging expertise, flexible engi-neering solutions and no limits approach.
Prosthetic experts Steeper wanted to produce a myoelectric prosthetic hand that could trans-form the lives of amputees worldwide and help them to regain independence and control in their everyday lives. They developed the bebi-onic which is modelled on an accurate skeletal structure and is constructed from an array of components designed to provide the most true to life movements. The hand marks a turning point in the world of prosthetics as it perfectly mimics the functions of a real hand via 14 dif-ferent precision grips which enable amputees to engage in a range of activities that would have previously been complex and unmanageable.
