A Proactive Solution for Reducing Musculoskeletal Disorders in Surgeons

The HAPO BACK exoskeleton is specifically designed to assist surgeons who face significant postural or joint constraints during their work. It provides essential support to the back and aids in maintaining optimal posture, whether in full flexion or standing. By redirecting the load from the upper trunk—utilizing pectoral support—towards the thighs with the aid of springs, and stabilizing the lumbar vertebrae with its supportive belt, the HAPO BACK exoskeleton significantly contributes to the reduction of musculoskeletal disorders (MSD) among surgeons.

Enhanced Comfort and User Experience in Surgical Settings

The principle remains consistent whether in a static standing position or during dynamic bending; the HAPO BACK exoskeleton offers increased comfort and an improved user experience. The belt ensures lumbar support without restricting movement, facilitating natural and ergonomic motion throughout long surgical procedures.

Versatility and Ease of Use for Surgeons

Available in a version without unlocking (HAPO SD), the HAPO BACK exoskeleton is an easy-to-use posture harness that is discreet, lightweight, and user-friendly. It can be donned in just 40 seconds and removed in 15 seconds, fitting 98% of body types with three available sizes. The HAPO BACK exoskeleton is crafted from breathable, water-repellent fabrics that are washable with a wipe or machine washable by separating the spring component from the textile part—no tools required.

Integrating Ergonomics in the Surgical Environment

The HAPO BACK exoskeleton extends its benefits to surgical environments where prolonged standing and repetitive movements are common. By alleviating physical strain and promoting better posture, the HAPO BACK exoskeleton helps surgeons maintain their focus and efficiency, ultimately enhancing their overall well-being and performance in the operating room.
