1.0 Introduction
Our name was formulated to reflect our single driving intention to change multiple lives together forever through
harnessing endless connections to make anything possible. With our name came our ‘delta’ logo, which also
has meaningful origins as a symbol of change and doing things differently.
1.1 What Defines Us?
COVVI is a portmanteau of the Latin ‘Coperor’ and ‘Vita’, translating as ‘working together’ and ‘life’.
1.2 The Path to the COVVI Hand
The COVVI Hand was born from a genuine passion for prosthetics and helping others. Through 10 years of
working in the industry alongside clinicians and listening to users we have developed a sincere appreciation
for how difficult prosthetics are to use and how poor devices do not address or resolve this. After the initial
excitement of a new device, these frustrations frequently result in the prosthetic device being rejected, which
we see as a personal failure. In today’s world there are so many products and designs that we simply do
not need, yet in the field of prosthetics so much is still to be done. As a team we could not envisage more
rewarding work than developing a cutting-edge prosthetic hand that overcomes as many of these issues as
possible, so we made it our absolute mission to do so. We truly want to reduce the restrictions and limitations
prosthetic users face every day.
We designed the COVVI Hand with your patient in the forefront of our minds and we want it to be an invaluable
tool in their life. Our two main goals were to make it functional and robust, and we are confident it not only
enables the easy performance of daily tasks but can withstand anything life throws at it! We always aim to
develop desirable products, which is why we use only the best materials and pride ourselves on our unrivalled
industrial design. After years of hard work, drive, and passion it makes us immensely proud to see our design
working as intended and actively simplifying people’s lives.
