Frequently asked questions.
What is an exoskeleton?
An exoskeleton is a wearable assistance device designed to provide assistance and reduce strain on your body’s muscles. Our exoskeletons are specifically designed to reduce strain on the arms, shoulders, and back during repetitive movements and long, tedious procedures.
How will this device affect my freedom of movement?
The HAPO exoskeletons have been intentionally designed to provide support without affecting freedom of movement or precision. The HAPO Front provides support for “arms-in-front'“ tasks while still allowing 180-degree left-to-right movement.
Do they come in different sizes?
The HAPO Front is a one-size-fits-all device, while the HAPO Back size is determined by height. HAPO CS (Chest Support) which is specifically designed for women, comes in multiple sizes determined by height and chest circumference.
Will my exoskeleton fit underneath a surgical gown?
Our devices are designed to be low-profile, lightweight (< 3 lbs), and will fit underneath surgical gowns.
