Espire Elbow Pro is an innovative motor-driven prosthetic joint for the elbow that is easy to use by both clinicians and patients. A removable 3,000 mAh battery and a more proximal centre of mass further increase the device’s convenience. Patients can use signals from their muscles to operate the arm, which provides accurate control. Each elbow in this series offers the same anatomical design with a variety of custom colour and size options.
