michelangelo, myosmart plus and connectgrip.
Take control with powerful performance.
michelangelo is a powerful, natural-looking myoelectric hand that delivers precise, versatile, and strong gripping through high grip force, multiple grip options, and a highly realistic design. Together with the myosmart plus prosthesis control and the connectgrip app, it delivers smart, outcome-driven fitting solutions for users and technicians alike. Its combination of natural mobility, strong grip force and intelligently personalized control provides exceptional functionality, safety and flexibility, setting a new standard.
Versatile gripping options
michelangelo supports a wide range of everyday and work-related grips - from laterally grasping a glass to handling flat objects such as paper, carrying a bowl on the open hand, or rotating a pen. Combined with the intelligent myosmart plus control, natural muscle patterns translate directly into intuitive gripping movements, allowing the hand’s functions to be used optimally.

Direct and fast control
The combination of michelangelo and myosmart plus allows direct access to grip types and smooth, fluid movements. Lateral, opposition, or neutral - the hand responds quickly and intuitively. Switching signals can be added if needed.

Real-time visual biofeedback
The connectgrip app visualizes the user’s muscle signals in a dynamic display, helping identify optimal electrode placement and guide training with precision. This visualization supports efficient and high-quality fitting results.

Versatile functionality through modular wrists
Four modular wrists allow individualized prosthetic setups based on specific user requirements. The michelangelo is compatible with the wrist flex, Ottobock’s unique, dampened modular wrist. This combination supports more natural posture and reduces compensatory movements compared to conventional myoelectric systems.
