Support for #CareHeroes with the BionicBack.
The BionicBack is a passive exoskeleton designed for caregivers and was specifically developed to reduce physical strain in everyday caregiving. Exoskeletons in the care sector assist with tasks such as lifting, repositioning, and caring for patients, and help to sustainably reduce strain on the back.
Thanks to its bionic structure and elastic elements, the BionicBack can be seamlessly integrated into existing care processes. This makes caregiving more ergonomic, safer, and healthier in the long term.
What are exoskeletons in healthcare?
Exoskeletons in healthcare are wearable assistive devices that support caregivers during physically demanding tasks. They are worn directly on the body and provide targeted relief for the back.
Especially in everyday nursing care, which is characterized by frequent lifting, repositioning, and working in a bent posture, exoskeletons can significantly reduce physical strain. The goal is to protect the health of caregivers and improve working conditions in the long term.
Challenges in nursing care due to back strain and physical exertion.
Work in the caregiving profession is physically demanding and involves high levels of strain. Tasks such as repositioning, lifting, assisting with standing up, or working in a bent-over position place significant strain on the back. These repetitive movements lead to considerable back strain and are among the most common causes of health issues in the caregiving profession.
Recurring tasks such as making beds, providing bedside care, or handing objects while in a low position also place a constant strain on the spine and muscles. These movements are among the most common causes of back pain, muscle tension, and physical fatigue in the nursing profession.
This is exactly where exoskeletons come into play in the care sector: They support caregivers during physically demanding tasks and help to specifically reduce the strain.

The right setting for every task
Thanks to its bionic structure and elastic components, the exoskeleton can be seamlessly integrated into existing care routines. Caregivers benefit from reduced back pain, improved ergonomics, and increased productivity in their daily work.
Free-wheel function
The free-wheel function gives caregivers maximum freedom of movement, for example when sitting or walking quickly between patients. Ideal for routine tasks such as documentation and medication preparation.
Dynamic
Dynamic provides targeted support for dynamic movements while bending or squatting. For example, when putting on compression stockings, repositioning a patient, or handing over objects in the lower care area. This support significantly reduces the strain on the back muscles.
Static
Static provides additional stability during forward-leaning positions, such as when changing dressings, performing bedside hygiene, or working for extended periods in a bent-over position. It reduces strain on the back, as well as fatigue and muscle tension.
Mix and Match
Dynamic and Static can be combined in any combination, allowing caregivers to decide for themselves how much assistance is needed depending on the task at hand.
CARE-SKIN
THE PERFECT ACCESSORY FOR YOUR DAILY SKINCARE ROUTINE.
For even greater comfort and hygiene in daily care.
Patient handles ensure safe and comfortable transfers for both caregivers and patients. These handles help avoid the often problematic “neck lift” and allow patients to actively participate in the mobilization process.
The removable and washable cover also ensures easy cleaning and even greater hygiene.
