Integrum (publ) announced that the first case study of a person with above-elbow amputation obtaining unprecedented control of every finger in a bionic hand has been published in Science Translational Medicine. By combining Integrum's OPRAâ„¢? Implant System and e-OPRAâ„¢?

Implant System with revolutionary surgical and engineering advancements and AI algorithms, the user's intentions were translated into the movement of the bionic fingers. The scientific paper illustrates how Integrum's technology combined with advanced reconstructive surgery and AI for the first time, made it possible for an above-elbow amputee patient to control every finger of a prosthetic hand as if it were his own. The surgery took place at the Sahlgrenska University Hospital and combined new microsurgical techniques with sophisticated implanted electrodes that provide single-finger control of a prosthetic arm as well as sensory feedback.

The embedded neuromuscular sensors were connected to an electronic system via Integrum's bone-anchored interface (OPRA(TM) Im plant System and e-OPRA(TM) Implant System), and AI algorithms in the electronic system translated the user's intentions into prosthetic finger movements.
