1.2 Intended Use
i-digits™ is intended to be used by individuals with partial
hand loss or deficiency. Devices are suited to individuals
with any 3, 4 or 5 digit loss, while patients or users with 1
or 2 digit loss are also indicated when the digits of loss are
either the thumb or the main digits of opposition, namely
the index and middle fingers.
* Note: only available on i-digits™ quantum.
i-digits™ is a fully customized partial hand prosthesis with
individually powered fingers. i-digits™ fingers move inde-
pendently and bend at the joint to work in conjunction with
any remaining fingers to help significantly increase func-
tional capabilities.
Each digit of the device has its own motor that allows the
digits to run until they meet the object being grasped. The
result of this is the device taking the shape of that object
(compliant grip). The power for the prosthesis comes from
two batteries which are located in the wristband. Initially,
you and your clinical team will develop control of opening
and closing your hand. At this stage, you should be able
to carry out a wide range of functional daily activities us-
ing your i-digits™ device.It takes time and practice to gain
control and master the best way to perform tasks with your
prosthetic device. The pace at which individuals gain this
control varies.
Your i-digits™ is covered under the Touch Care program.
Please contact your clinician for details about your specific
Touch Care coverage.
