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.

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.

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.

"Back pain again..." Do you know this sentence? Whether construction, logistics or workshop - physically hard work leaves its mark. But what if there was a simple solution that would noticeably relieve your back? Discover how the BionicBack exoskeleton strengthens your posture, prevents pain and changes your everyday working life.

Discover the fascinating evolution of exoskeletons – from the first prototypes to practical use in logistics, construction, and healthcare. Learn how our BionicBack exoskeleton supports the back during physical work and why this technology is more important today than ever before.

Learn how external support systems relieve the back and body during physical work, which industries benefit from them, and the differences between active and passive exoskeletons. Discover how our BionicBack exoskeleton makes everyday work easier—completely without motors.
