Switching Grip Patterns
The first grip pattern available, in each operating mode, should be the grip you will use most
frequently. You can then switch to a second grip pattern by applying either a co-contraction or a
double OPEN signal to the hand. It is then possible to switch to a further two grip patterns in each
mode by pressing the programme switch on the back of the hand.
An additional three grips and positions - hook, finger adduction and open palm - are achieved as
part of other grip patterns. This means you will be able to select up to 11 grip patterns that will be
most beneficial in your day-to-day life.
Note: -
Your practitioner will work with you to programme the hand with the most appropriate grip
patterns to suit your lifestyle. They will also work with you to find the easiest way to change between
grips. For certain grip patterns, it is necessary for the practitioner to adjust the thumb alignment,
so that the contact position between finger(s) and thumb is optimised. For instance, the thumb
contacts the index finger for precision and pinch, whereas in tripod the thumb contacts the index
and middle finger.
Use
Your prosthetic provider will help you to become proficient in using your bebionic small hand.
You may attend some training sessions where different aspects of your everyday activities will be
explored. You can get the most from training by listing and suggesting those tasks that you want to
achieve. You can then work through this list with your team. To get the most from the hand, make
sure your arm is comfortable, secure and functional.
Care
We recommend that you do not adjust, dismantle, attempt to maintain, or modify your prosthesis.
If it doesn’t function as you think it should, contact your prosthetic provider who will be able to
provide guidance. You should inspect your prosthesis regularly to identify potentia problems early.
The bebionic glove is made of silicone; this can be cleaned with warm water and liquid soap.
If, and when, you need a replacement glove please contact your prosthetic provider. If water,
perspiration, steam, snow, dust or sand enter the internal components of the arm, corrosion and
component failure is likely to occur. Inspect the prosthesis regularly for glove damage, since cuts
and tears allow these materials to penetrate the prosthesis.
Safety
Treat your prosthesis as if it were your own limb. Do not expose it to a naked flame or excessive
heat. Take care not to touch live electrical equipment
