  • One exoskeleton for everyone? How the shared use of the BionicBack works in everyday working life

    In many companies with a shift system, the question quickly arises: "Can a team share a BionicBack exoskeleton?" It would be practical to pass the system on, especially when colleagues work one after the other - e.g. when changing shifts. But what about hygiene, wearing comfort and customisation ? In this article, we explain what is important when sharing an exoskeleton such as the BionicBack - and how comfort and cleanliness can also be ensured within a team The BionicBack in shift operation - is that possible? The short answer: Yes , the BionicBack can be used by several people - provided a few things are taken into account. The system is designed in such a way that it can be quickly adapted to different bodies , but has as few contact surfaces as possible. Comfort despite a split system? This is how the BionicBack is constructed: The design of the shoulder straps ensures even pressure distribution without constricting. Thanks to the airy, flexible material, body heat is reduced - a decisive advantage during physically demanding work. The exoskeleton is designed in such a way that it has few direct contact surfaces with the skin. This results in less sweating - and also reduces the amount of cleaning required. The central contact points, such as the back and shoulder pads, are removable and washable , which significantly simplifies hygiene when changing use. Upholstery care made easy - optimised for shared use The upholstery can be removed and washed in a few simple steps . Depending on the intensity and frequency of use, a simple washing schedule or replacement after the shift is usually sufficient. For use in changing teams, padding sets are available that can be washed at 60 °C and quickly attached with Velcro - without any tools. This means that each person can use their own hygienic pad set. The X-ERGO 3D pads - our insider tip for more comfort The X-ERGO 3D pads offer noticeably more comfort during physically active use. Their innovative design reduces heat build-up by up to 90 % - ideal for long periods of wear and changing conditions of use.

  • Are exoskeletons medical devices?

    Exoskeletons are increasingly being used in various areas - from industry to rehabilitation. But the question arises: are exoskeletons actually medical devices? Our BionicBack exoskeleton is used in many sectors - from logistics to care. When is an exoskeleton considered a medical device? 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. 1. Definition depending on the intended use Exoskeletons are classified as medical devices if they: ✔️ Specially developed for medical purposes (e.g. rehabilitation, support after injuries) ✔️ Provide targeted support for physical limitations One example of this is exoskeletons that help patients relearn movements after a stroke or spinal cord injury. 2. Duthorisation and proof of safety required Exoskeletons that are considered medical devices must undergo strict authorisation procedures. This includes proof of: ✔️ Safety for the user ✔️ Medical efficacy and benefit This process ensures that the product fulfils the health and regulatory requirements and that the desired support is actually provided. CE labelling in the EU In the EU, exoskeletons that are classified as medical devices require CE labelling. This labelling confirms that the product: ✔️ Complies with the European directives for medical devices ✔️ Meets the specified standards for safety and performance Our BionicBack bears the CE mark, which confirms its safety and quality - even though it is not classified as a medical device, but as a supportive aid for everyday working life. Not all exoskeletons are medical devices Exoskeletons developed for industrial or general physical support without a medical purpose are not considered medical devices. This includes, for example, exoskeletons used in logistics or the construction industry to reduce the physical strain of lifting and carrying. ➡️ Our BionicBack falls into this category - it is not used for medical treatment, but for the prevention of physical complaints and to improve working conditions. Regulatory differences depending on the country The categorisation of exoskeletons as a medical device also depends on the regulatory framework of the respective country. While CE labelling is decisive in the EU, the requirements of the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) apply in the USA, for example. How the BionicBack helps Although the BionicBack is not a medical device in the legal sense, it nevertheless has a preventive and supportive effect: Reduction of strain on muscles and joints Support for repetitive movements and lifting heavy loads Improve posture and relieve strain on the back The BionicBack contributes to the prevention of musculoskeletal disorders and to the long-term health of employees, particularly in the working environment. The most important points at a glance ✅ Exoskeletons are considered medical devices if they are used specifically for medical purposes. ✅ Medical devices require authorisation and CE marking. ✅ Exoskeletons for industry and physical support without a medical purpose are not medical devices. The BionicBack has CE labelling and has a preventive effect in everyday working life. ✅ The regulatory requirements vary depending on the country. Conclusion To cut a long story short: Some exoskeletons are medical devices, others are not. The decisive factor is the intended use. While medical exoskeletons are primarily used in rehabilitation, industrial exoskeletons such as our BionicBack specifically support physical performance and help to prevent overuse. Regardless of the classification, exoskeletons make a real difference - whether in rehabilitation or in the workplace.

  • Why physical labour is not training - and what really helps

    Physical labour is no substitute for effective training 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 . 👉 In this article, you'll find out why physical labour is no substitute for effective training in most cases , what the difference is - and how an exoskeleton like the BionicBack can help you get through the day in good health without overloading yourself. 1. basics of effective training Targeted training sets conscious stimuli . This means: ✅ planned exertion ✅ Targeted intensity ✅ sufficient recovery The aim is to challenge the body in such a way that it becomes stronger and more resilient - and can regenerate sufficiently between sessions. Only then will positive adaptations such as muscle growth, increased endurance or better posture occur. 2. why work is not a workout What is specifically trained in the gym looks very different in everyday working life: 🔁 The same movements - over and over again 🕒 Often for hours on end, without real recovery breaks 📉 Not healthy exercise, but monotonous overload The problem : your body doesn't get the necessary training stimuli , but is constantly stressed and overloaded. Your back, joints and tendons in particular suffer from the constant strain - instead of building up muscles, the result is gradual wear and tear . Without sufficient relief, the body lacks the basis for healthy performance. Our answer: The BionicBack reduces precisely this strain - and thus creates the conditions for your body to work healthily in the long term. 3. what does the BionicBack do? The passive exoskeleton supports you in your day-to-day work - without a battery, motor or complex technology. It: ✅ stabilises your spine ✅ Promotes an ergonomic posture ✅ Reduces strain when lifting and bending ✅ noticeably reduces muscle fatigue Important : The BionicBack does not replace training - but it does ensure that you still have the strength to move after work . Without back pain. Without overloading. 4. why you should train despite (or precisely because of) this Anyone who works physically needs balanced training - not constant lifting on the job. A good programme includes: 🏋️ Strength - for a stable musculature 🚶 Endurance - for performance in everyday life 🤸 Flexibility & mobility - against tension 📈 Progression - i.e. increasing training stimuli This is the only way to stay healthy and efficient in the long term - at work and in everyday life. Conclusion Physical work is strenuous - but not training One-sided strain without regeneration overstrains your body The BionicBack exoskeleton helps you to reduce the strain Only those who train become stronger - work alone is not enough Health needs targeted exercise, conscious recovery and smart support What do you think about it? 💬 Do you work physically and still often feel exhausted? Here are the facts again as a YouTube video: 💬 If you have any further questions, please take a look at our other blog posts:

  • BionicBack - The BionicBack for ergonomic working

    Our BionicBack Exoskelett The BionicBack is more than just an exoskeleton - it is an innovative solution that takes nature as its model to provide targeted relief for the human body. In this article, you'll find out what's behind the name, how the system works and why it's so effective. What does "BionicBack" actually mean? The name "BionicBack" was chosen deliberately. It is made up of the terms "Bionic" (bionic) and "Back" (back). Both elements reflect what it is all about: a technical system inspired by the human body - or more precisely, the spine. Bionics is a discipline that looks at the structures, processes and design principles of nature and transfers them to technology. The term exoskeleton also originally comes from nature - from insects or crustaceans, for example, whose external support structure provides protection and support for movement. Our BionicBack follows this principle: the back section is modeled on the human back. The name therefore stands for a "bionic back" - a system that supports you during physically demanding activities. Who is the BionicBack made for and what is it used for? The BionicBack exoskeleton is a passive support system that provides noticeable relief during activities such as lifting, bending or prolonged bending forward. It intervenes as soon as you bend forward or pick something up: Dynamically, during movement (e.g. when picking up a heavy object) Statically, when you work in a bent-forward position for a long time (e.g. over a pallet cage) . How does a passive exoskeleton work? 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. This stored energy can: support part of the body weight when holding a bent forward position, support the patient when straightening up by reinforcing the movement with its own energy. The result: less muscle strain, less risk of fatigue and more ergonomic, healthier working. Conclusion: Why the BionicBack exoskeleton? Let's summarize: ✅ The BionicBack is an ergonomic aid inspired by the human back ✅ It is a passive exoskeleton - lightweight, current-free, low-maintenance ✅ It has been scientifically tested and provides noticeable relief ✅ The system is lightweight, convenient and easy to integrate - ideal for use in logistics, production and trade 👉 Find out more now and discover the BionicBack:

  • What is an exoskeleton? Function, use & advantages explained

    Exoskeletons have become an integral part of modern industry and the world of work. But what exactly does the term exoskeleton mean and why are these external support structures so valuable for various industries? In this article, you will find out what an exoskeleton is, how it works and what different types there are. Here you can see the BionicBack exoskeleton What does exoskeleton mean? The term exoskeleton originally comes from the animal kingdom. It is derived from the Greek words "exo" (for "outside") and "skeletos" (for "dry body"). An exoskeleton is therefore an external skeleton - a protective and support system that is located outside the body. Examples from nature include insects and crustaceans, which have an exoskeleton as an external protective and support structure. In contrast, humans and vertebrates have an endoskeleton, which is located inside the body. A technical exoskeleton works according to the same principle. It is an external support structure that is worn on the body to support movement and improve or enhance physical abilities. Areas of application for exoskeletons Exoskeletons are used in many different areas - from industry to medicine: Logistics Construction Wholesale Beverage logistics Car repair shop Gardening and landscaping Furniture transport Maintenance In short: wherever dynamic or static lifting is required, an exoskeleton can reduce physical strain and increase efficiency. Other areas of application for exoskeletons: In addition to industry and logistics, exoskeletons are also used in other areas: Medicine - support for rehabilitation and mobility Military - improving the physical performance of soldiers Space travel - support for work in weightlessness Personal mobility and assistance - support in everyday life for people with limited mobility Emergency and rescue operations - relief from heavy physical strain The BionicBack is aimed at people who work in professions with physically demanding tasks - for example in logistics, on construction sites or in workshops. It specifically reduces the strain on the back when lifting, carrying or bending for long periods and is easy to integrate into everyday working life. Active vs. passive exoskeletons Exoskeletons can basically be divided into two categories: active and passive exoskeletons. Active exoskeletons Passive exoskeletons Active exoskeletons use motors or hydraulic systems to actively amplify the wearer's movements. This type of exoskeleton is often used in industry or the military to lift heavy loads and reduce fatigue. Passive exoskeletons do not use motors or hydraulics. Instead, they use mechanical energy storage devices such as springs or elastomers to relieve the body and support movement sequences. Passive exoskeletons are lighter and easier to handle, which is why they are often used in everyday working life. Our BionicBack exoskeleton is a passive exoskeleton. This means that it does not have a motor and does not need to be recharged - so it does not restrict everyday working life or freedom of movement. The most important points at a glance To summarize: ✅ An exoskeleton is an external support structure worn on the body. ✅ It supports, improves or strengthens physical abilities and movements. ✅ Exoskeletons are used in various industries and applications. ✅ There are two types: active (with motors) and passive (mechanical) exoskeletons. Conclusion Exoskeletons are versatile and offer enormous benefits in industrial, medical and private environments. They provide targeted support for physical performance and reduce the strain of physically demanding tasks. Want to see what this looks like in practice? Then take a look at our YouTube video on exoskeletons: There you will not only find illustrative examples, but also many other videos with application tips, background information and experiences directly from everyday working life.

  • How the field of exoskeletons came about

    Welcome to the world of exoskeletons! If you are hearing about this technology for the first time, you are not alone. Exoskeletons are wearable support systems that take the strain off the human body during physically demanding work - especially the back, shoulders and joints. In this article, you'll find out where this idea came from, how it developed and why exoskeletons like our BionicBack are so important right now. The origins of exoskeleton technology The idea of a wearable mechanism that supports or amplifies human movement originally came from science fiction. However, it became a reality as early as the 1960s: one of the first real projects was the so-called "Hardiman", developed by General Electric. Even though the system was never used in practice, it laid the foundation for the further development of wearable support systems. Fields of application today: much more than just dreams of the future Nowadays, exoskeletons have become indispensable in many areas: 📦 Logistics - e.g. when lifting heavy loads 🏗️ Construction and trade - for support during overhead work and long periods of bending forward ✈️ Airport handling - during loading and unloading 🏥 Medicine - for rehabilitation and mobility support 🎖️ Military - to increase performance and shift loads Where is the journey going? Market analyses predict exponential growth in the use of exoskeletons. The reasons for this are: Rapid technological progress Growing demand in ageing societies Increasing awareness of ergonomic workplace design What is the BionicBack: Our BionicBack is a so-called passive exoskeleton. This means that it works entirely without electricity or motors - purely mechanically. It was specially developed to support people during physically demanding activities, e.g. lifting, carrying or bending forward for long periods. The aim is to relieve back strain, prevent musculoskeletal disorders and make everyday working life healthier. Here you can see our BionicBack exoskeleton Why we develop exoskeletons like the BionicBack: We at hTRIUS are convinced that the physical protection of people who work with their hands every day deserves the same importance as a helmet or safety shoe.
