Vispala Unveils iGrip –Its First Revolutionary Voluntary- Closing Body-Powered Hand Prosthesis

Vispala is a leading medical technology company in Kolkata. Vispala offers advanced, efficient, and affordable hand prosthetic devices for people with upper limb disabilities. The Company has named its new body-powered hand prosthesis as iGrip.Apart from iGrip, Vispala is developing 3D Printed Sockets and Covers for Prosthesis and Assistive Robotics for people with upper limb mobility impairment. Designed with top-notch quality and 3D printing technology, iGrip assists amputees to fulfill individual goals like becoming independent, and earning a livelihood.

In a world population of approx 6.7 billion, there are around 10 million amputees. They are survivors of road accidents, diabetes, or birth defects. More than two lakhs of amputation operations are performed annually in India, but few amputees receive proper care. People cannot afford prosthetic devices due to their high price. To address this problem, team Vispala has developed iGrip to broaden the access of prosthetic limbs and deliver a low-cost, easy-to-use solution to reinforce the living standard of amputees.

Vispala iGrip is a voluntary-closing system and an ultralight device that gives superior gripping control. The user-friendly product is easy to maintain. Being an environment-friendly company, Vispala has made sure that iGrip is made from 100% recyclable materials. The company has integrated iGrip with features like a 3D printed body constructed with industrial-grade polymer, 360-degree wrist rotation, and a stainless-steel linkage mechanism. These features provide iGrip resistance from rust and corrosion.

The company is focusing on developing countries of Asia, Africa, and the Middle East to market its products. The reason behind focusing on this market is that the "Majority people living in these countries are not capable of purchasing expensive limb devices, Vispala has identified this need, and aim to serve people of these regions in the best possible way," said Rajib Chowdhury, Business Head for Vispala.

iGrip provides an auto-locking mechanism that keeps it in a closed position and assists users with holding objects for an extensive stretch without giving additional exertion. The hand can lift to 10 kg weight. iGrip body harnesses are skin-friendly and offer effective and comfortable prosthesis control for users, thus preventing skin irritation and burning after prolonged usage. The socket can be customized by the Vispala team, considering the serviceability, accessibility, and affordability of the target group in mind.

On the occasion of the launch of iGrip, Mr. Basu, CEO of Vispala, stated –
"I am thrilled at this moment. Our team has worked very hard for two consecutive years to develop a comfortable, lightweight prosthesis. We dedicate this breakthrough product to people suffering from different limb issues.
