Short Description
Espire Classic
The Espire Classic is a body-powered mechanical elbow that features a forearm counterbalance mechanism and manual lock. It uses a dial to adjust the effect of the counterbalance which can be located either laterally or medially. This model contains no electronics or circuitry to provide a lightweight option
The Espire Classic uses the same comfortable counterbalance system and manual locking function as the Classic Plus. However this is the ideal option for patients seeking a lightweight elbow as it does not contain any electronics and circuitry.
Features & Benefits:
Dials can be placed medially or laterally for patient preference, to adjust either the counterbalance feature or spring-assist on the Basic
Various inputs and batteries can be attached to the Espire Classic Plus using a plug-in board, which are then routed through the elbow to the distal end to enable the use of a wide range of terminal devices
The Classic and Classic Plus models feature the forearm counterbalance mechanism to negate the effects of gravity
Anatomical look and shape offer a natural resting position
The Classic and Basic elbows are ideal for patients looking for a lightweight option as they contain no batteries or electronics
Six finish options available: Brown, Caucasian, White, Silver, Jet Black and Carbon Fibre
