About the e-OPRA™ Implant System
The e-OPRA™ Implant System is a mind-controlled prosthetic system that uses artificial intelligence to provide the user unparalleled prosthetic (motor) control with improved precision and has the capability to provide sensations of touch, making it one of the most advanced implants in the world.
The first patient was treated in 2013, when the patient's pre-existing OPRA[TM] Implant System was upgraded with the addition of permanently implanted neuromuscular electrodes, thereby connecting the prosthesis not only to the patient's bone, but also to nerves and muscles. The OPRA[TM] Implant System consists of a threaded titanium Fixture, surgically inserted into the bone, and an Abutment that extends out of the body, percutaneously. The Fixture and the Abutment are held together by an Abutment Screw. The Abutment Screw was replaced with a hollow e-OPRA[TM] Abutment Screw, through which electrodes were routed and implanted in nerves and muscles, creating a bidirectional wired communication pathway between the body and the prosthesis.
The e-OPRA™ Implant System is not yet commercially available.
