Advanced technology that's simple to use!

The technology of yesteryear has been able only partly to overcome the functional discrepancies between human and prosthetic limbs. Now Bionic Technology is closing that gap. Bionic Technology by Össur: Amazing and unique, it has been changing people's lives for the better ever since.

Artificial Intelligence (AI): Stimulating voluntary control of the prosthetic limb

A prosthesis that does some thinking of its own can handle day-to-day occurrences like a change of shoes or the lifting of a heavy bag. Without AI, such events have implications for the function of a prosthesis, unless there is a prosthetist always on hand to fine-tune it accordingly. AI enhances the safety of the device, and therefore of the user, and helps to stimulate voluntary control of the prosthetic limb. The outcome is a more adaptive system and more carefree mobility.

Power Motion: Protecting the body from the repercussions of muscular compensation

Ultra-thin, ultra-strong and ultra-tough - these are the attributes that characterize the battery technology used in the second generation of Össur's power prosthetics and, as development continues, the battery life can only get longer and the charge time shorter. That, plus improvements in overall system efficiency, will make an increasing contribution to worry-free, active lives in the future.

The clinical benefits of power motion are endless and the need for it is extremely high. Reducing strain on the residual limb and protecting the body from the repercussions of muscular compensation are the most obvious advantages of the new devices incorporating power motion.

Sense, Think, Act

Sophisticated sensors sample different aspects of real-time motion, often faster even than the human sensory system. Össur’s patented forms of artificial intelligence (AI) continuously think through data from the sensors, analyzing and calculating the next best move. Precision components act immediately to deliver best possible function, as instructed by a stream of signals sent from the artificial intelligence.
