What is the Exopulse Suit?
The Exopulse Suit from Ottobock fundamentally changes the treatment field of neurological disorders and related symptoms.
It is the world’s first neuromodulation suit that makes use of a physiological reflex mechanism called reciprocal inhibition: By sending an electrical signal to an antagonistic muscle, the spastic muscle subsequently relaxes. The combined effect of relaxing tense muscles and enabling the activation of weak muscles allows its users to enjoy a more active and less painful daily life.
The Exopulse Suit is a personal assistive medical device which is used for low-energy whole-body transcutaneous electrical stimulation, reducing the typical symptoms associated with neurological conditions such as cerebral palsy, multiple sclerosis, stroke or spinal cord injuries.
This neuromodulation stimulation is non-invasive and non-pharmacological and has limited side-effects compared to other known invasive or pharmacological treatments for spasticity and related chronic pain. It leads to positive effects as observed in clinical studies on range of motion, balance, hand-arm functions, gait and overall quality of life.
Who is the Exopulse Suit for?
The Exopulse Mollii Suit is an assistive medical device for pediatric and adult users with CP, MS, stroke, or other neurological disorders, who suffer from dystonia, muscle spasticity, weak muscle activation, and related pain. The device is recommended to be used every other day, unless otherwise specified by a healthcare provider, preferably together with physiotherapy, training, or activity.
Main Indications the Exopulse Mollii Suit can support:
Cerebral Palsy
Multiple Sclerosis
Stroke
Spinal Cord Injury
Research is ongoing into the effect of the Exopulse Mollii Suit for chronic pain and fibromyalgia.
An innovative, wearable, near full-body design.
Garments
Components: The Suit is made up of two pieces of clothing, a jacket and a pair of pants. They come in a range of sizes for both children and adults.
Comfortable fabric and fit: The jacket and pants are easy for users to put on and wear. They’re made from sturdy, breathable synthetic fabric and contain no animal products or fibres.
Ready to wash: Both garments (without the control unit) can be cleaned up to 25 times in a home washer, or regularly cleaned in a steam cabinet.
Available sizes: The Suit comes in 37 sizes, starting from 2-3 years of age and children’s wide-sizes, up to 5XL men and women.
Technology
58 embedded electrodes: Placed throughout the jacket and pants, these e-stimulation pads can deliver targeted relief to muscle groups throughout the body.
Detachable control unit: The Suit’s customizable stimulation pattern is controlled directly from this hub, which is easily accessible for at-home use and easily removed when it’s time to clean the Suit.
