The categorisation of an exoskeleton as a medical device depends primarily on its intended use. While some exoskeletons are developed exclusively for industrial applications, there are others that are used specifically to support people with physical disabilities or for rehabilitation - and therefore fulfil the criteria for a medical device.

Do you think your job keeps you fit? Many people who work physically are convinced: "I'm on my feet all day - that's enough of a workout!" Sounds logical - but unfortunately this is a widespread misconception.

Rückenschmerzen gehören zu den häufigsten Ursachen für Krankmeldungen – besonders bei körperlich fordernden Tätigkeiten. Viele Unternehmen suchen deshalb nach Lösungen, die gesundheitsfördernd sind. 👉 Eine davon: Exoskelette wie das BionicBack. Jetzt gibt es einen neuen Meilenstein: Das BionicBack ist das weltweit erste Exoskelett mit dem AGR-Gütesiegel.

Three studies. One clear result: the BionicBack effectively relieves strain, improves posture and protects the back - scientifically proven. Whether in industry, construction or logistics, the exoskeleton makes physically demanding work healthier, more efficient and more sustainable. And all without a battery, cable or charging time.

The BionicBack is a so-called passive exoskeleton. This means that it works without electrical energy or motors. Instead, it uses mechanical energy storage - such as elastic elements that are put under tension when bent.
