Thinking about getting a new prosthetic hand but worried the process might be painful?
We understand your concern, that’s why, at Vulcan Augmetics, we’ve designed the entire experience to be fast, supportive, and most importantly, comfortable.
Here’s what you can expect when you’re fitted for your new Vulcan Multi-grip Myoelectric Hand:
A Quick and Comfortable Process – in Just 3 Simple Steps
1. Measurement
It all begins with precise measurements of your residual limb. Our trained team uses this information to create a custom socket that fits your body securely and comfortably.
2. Test and Adjust
Once your socket is ready, you’ll try it on. Our team will carefully adjust it to ensure it feels snug but not tight, and that it doesn’t cause pressure or discomfort.
We know that comfort plays a major role in your long-term experience, particularly for users who rely on their prosthetic for more than four hours a day for work and daily routines.
3. Quick Installation and Automatic Calibration
Unlike traditional prosthetic systems that require long setup times and manual signal mapping, Vulcan’s unique app-driven calibration system speeds everything up.
Using the Vulcan app, the Vulcan Myoband sensor ring can automatically detect and align to your muscle signals in minutes – no guesswork, no trial-and-error, and NO SURGERY.
This allows for a smoother, faster transition without the discomfort sometimes associated with older calibration methods.
Personalized Training That Works for You
To help you get comfortable with your new hand, you’ll have full access to short, personalized training sessions – usually starting at just 20 minutes each – via the Vulcan app’s built-in rehab program, which includes 10 easy-to-follow lessons to guide you through controlling your new hand at your own pace.
The app also lets you track your progress, explore training exercises, and get helpful support with Chatbox to improve your confidence and comfort. It’s like having a personal trainer for your prosthetic, right in your pocket.
