Dynamic Arm Elbow 12K100
Otto Bock HealthCare
A prosthetic revolution, Otto Bock HealthCare’s elbow has an electric motor so powerful it can lift up to 13 pounds. Its Automated Forearm Balance system has the ability to store and later reuse the energy that’s released when the arm is extended. With near-perfect balance, it’s as close as it gets to the real thing.
