Overview:
Every month, new and increasingly advanced prosthetic solutions enter the market, often reducing costs, improving durability, and introducing innovative features. However, all this progress does not necessarily mean these solutions will become accessible in our streets or truly address the prosthetics challenges faced in Latin America.
No strings attached : We intentionally moved away from traditional string-based systems because we believe there are better, more reliable alternatives.
Powered by only 5 volts: The design offers longer battery life while simplifying the entire system into a single power source.
Human-centered design
The construction phase includes a preliminary analysis in which measurements are established based on the individual’s morphological characteristics, such as the dimensions of the residual limb, as well as their personal preferences and recommendations.
Award winners of the Rita La Red project
With the project "Give me a Hand", we seek to improve the quality of life of people without forearms, providing them with an innovative robotic prosthesis.
For this, RITA La Red Internacional has partnered with the company TNS Systems from Cucuta, which has been recognized nationally and internationally for the development of innovative prostheses.
