New Shorter, Lighter COVVI Hand Variants Receive First Round of Registration
COVVI have received the first round of registration for the new Straight Wrist and Friction Wrist variants of the COVVI Hand in the EU, marking the start of the roll-out for the new devices.
Focused on meeting the needs of prosthetic users, COVVI’s advanced bionic hand will be available in three distinct wrist options – the original COVVI Hand featuring a flexing wrist, alongside the new Straight Wrist, and Friction Wrist variants.
The original COVVI Hand’s ‘Flex Wrist’ enables users to adjust the angle of their hand, with 27° of flexion and extension – as well as a neutral position – that can be securely locked.
The new ‘Straight Wrist’ version of the COVVI Hand represents an industry standard, with its static wrist design. Lighter and shorter than the original COVVI Hand, it features an Easy Quick Disconnect (EQD) connection – also present in the ‘Flex Wrist’ version of the COVVI Hand – meaning the model can be swapped with other prosthetic attachments without clinical assistance.
The ‘Friction Wrist’ option is designed specifically for people with a longer residual limb. It is the shortest and lightest variant of the COVVI Hand when installed on a prosthetic. This means that for users with longer limbs, the shorter wrist configuration provides an improved cosmetic appearance and positioning.
COVVI CEO, Simon Pollard, said about the new products, “Offering three different wrist types gives more options for clinicians to provide individual support and guidance for each user. This is just the first step in our rollout to making these new variants accessible to as many people around the world as possible.”
Since the inception of the COVVI Hand, there has been continued work to expand the range of choice available for both users and clinicians. Also available in multiple colour options, three sizes, and with endless ways to tailor features through the COVVI Go App, the COVVI Hand stands out as a prosthetic device that prioritises unmatched personalisation.
