Hand Biomechanics Lab specializes in developing innovative medical devices aimed at improving patient care, particularly in the field of hand rehabilitation. Their flagship product, the Digit Widget, is designed to address severe PIP flexion contractures by applying an extension torque over time, which helps lengthen shortened palmar tissues. This device is part of a broader commitment to tackling complex clinical challenges through a patient-centric approach, with a focus on research, prototyping, and rigorous testing to ensure safety and efficacy.

In addition to the Digit Widget, the company offers the WristJack External Fixation System, which is specifically engineered for distal radius fractures. This system allows for precise adjustments in palmar tilt, radial inclination, length, and rotation, enhancing the treatment process. Another notable product is the PIP Fix, an external fixator that addresses dorsal fracture dislocations of the PIP joints, providing adjustable length restoration and palmar translation. Hand Biomechanics Lab emphasizes quality control by assembling their products in-house and ensuring that all devices are sterile and packaged before delivery.
