What makes it work?

Made for people like you who master working with their hands, holding, gripping and processing precious products and materials with it the entire day.  These features make all the difference.

Enhances grip strength

Ironhand® provides up to 80 Newtons of additional grip force, reducing the muscular effort needed from the user’s hand and forearm. This implies up to 16 Newton per finger at a time.

Reduces fatigue

By supporting the hand during intense, repetitive or static tasks, it decreases muscle strain, allowing workers to perform tasks longer without exhaustion.

Prevents injuries

Helps reduce the risk of work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) such as carpal tunnel syndrome, tendinitis, and hand-arm vibration syndrome.

Customizable assistance

The glove adapts to individual users and tasks with configurable settings for force, sensitivity, locking behavior, and finger linking — ensuring optimal performance.

Data-driven ergonomics

Automatically generates digital ergonomic risk assessments (HAL-TLV, DUET) to validate effectiveness and identify improvement opportunities.

Comfortable and easy to use

Designed for all-day wear with modular sizing, adaptable carry systems (hip or backpack), and a quick setup using the Bioservo app.

This really is the essence of “Work smarter, not harder”.

I'm working overhead for hours every day. Since I started using the Skelex, my back and arms don’t feel wrecked at the end of a shift. It takes the weight off without getting in the way I can move freely and keep up my pace. It’s become part of my standard gear now."
