In today’s fast paced world of prosthetic devices and bionic prosthetics two models stand out: Zeus V1 and Zeus S. Developed by Aether Biomedical, these myoelectric prosthetic hands bring together advanced electronics, compliant finger mechanics, durable materials, and a digital platform that allows clinicians and patients to adapt the prosthetic bionic hand to real world needs.
The Zeus hand integrates seamlessly with the user's body, providing intuitive control and enhancing the overall functionality of the device for a wide range of tasks. Its advanced design significantly improves the user's ability to perform daily activities with greater independence and confidence.
Every detail, from grip force to repair times, is based on the official product catalogue and user guides. These bionic hands aren’t just about replacing a function; they’re about giving patients and clinicians a reliable, adaptable solution with minimal downtime.
The advantage of the Zeus hand's advanced technology is its superior performance and efficiency compared to other prosthetic devices. Designed for everyday use they offer different levels of grip strength, responsive motion and the reassurance that repairs are quick.
Two Hands, One Philosophy: Zeus V1 and Zeus S
The Zeus V1 prosthetic device delivers 152 N of grip force and can support up to 35 kg in static grip, making it a strong choice for tasks that require higher force. The Zeus S, lighter at 480 g, offers 120 N of grip force and supports up to 20 kg, excels in agility and comfort. It’s ideal for patients who want a lightweight model without sacrificing performance.
There are different types of prosthetic hands available, and the Zeus V1 and S are designed to meet different user needs.
Both models share the same EMG signal control technology, configurable grip patterns, and integration with the Aether Digital Platform. The wrist plays a key role in the design and function of the Zeus hand, contributing to natural movement and overall performance. Myoelectric Control Using EMG Signals
The technology behind the Zeus hand uses EMG sensors to detect electrical signals generated by muscles during contraction from the residual limb. These signals determine motion and force in each finger, enabling proportional control of grip patterns.
The process of analyzing EMG signals for prosthetic control involves detecting, filtering, and classifying the electrical activity produced by muscles to ensure accurate and responsive hand movements.
The physical basis of EMG signals, which originate from muscle activity, is crucial for effective prosthetic hand control. Clinicians can configure how the prosthetic hand responds to muscle signals, tailor the function to the patient’s needs.
Grip Diversity: Predefined and Configurable
Zeus has 14 predefined grip patterns and 3 fully configurable ones. Opposed grips like Power, Trigger, and Tripod excel at curved or irregular objects. Non-opposed grips like Key, Hook, and Mouse Grip are best for flat, heavy, or precision tasks.
The Trigger Grip, for example, allows users to operate devices that need proportional index finger movement, like spray bottles, allowing users to perform activities with greater freedom and independence, while the Power Grip applies force evenly across all fingers for secure holding.
Opposed vs. Non-Opposed Modes
Manual thumb adjustment switches between opposed and non-opposed grip sets. This combined with software based grip switching makes it easy to choose the right function for any task.
Modular Bionic Hand Design and Repairability
Both Zeus models have a modular design so fingers, palm or thumb can be replaced without replacing the whole prosthesis. Components can be replaced as they experience wear over time, ensuring long-term durability. The V1 can be repaired in under 30 minutes, the S in under 10 minutes, for durability and minimal downtime. When it comes to toughness and resilience, the Zeus hand won't shy away from the rest of the prosthetic hands on the market.
Software Integration: The Aether Digital Platform
The Aether Digital Platform allows clinicians to monitor patient data, make remote adjustments to the prosthetic, and reconfigure grip patterns without in-person visits. The system tracks usage, EMG peaks and other performance data so clinicians can better support and respond faster to changes in patient needs.
The high quality of data collected by the Aether Digital Platform ensures clinicians have reliable, accurate information, which is essential for making informed clinical decisions and optimizing patient outcomes.
Personalization and Control Methods
Zeus supports multiple control strategies: co-contraction, open-open, hold-open and single-electrode modes. These can be matched to a user’s muscle patterns for smoother function. A built-in button panel allows quick grip switching and Freeze mode activation for secure holding.
Users and clinicians can rely on these control methods for dependable and consistent prosthetic hand performance.
Power: The Aether Battery System
The integrated Aether Battery System has a safe, USB-C charged 2800 mAh battery that powers most daily activities. Built-in safety features protect against overcharging, overheating and environmental factors to preserve the life and performance of the prosthesis.
Safety and Usage Limits
Zeus hands are robotic hand prosthetics but should be kept away from water, excessive heat and high-impact situations. They are safe for most daily movements but not for hazardous activities, heavy manual labor or conditions that could affect durability.
Always consult your doctor before starting a new professional activity.
