Overview

The Ironhand is a powered grip-strengthening glove for industry, built on Bioservo's Soft Extra Muscle technology from Sweden, and it is the only active hand exoskeleton sold at scale for work. Pressure sensors in the fingertips trigger motors in a backpack-style power pack that pull tendons through the glove, adding up to 80 N of grip so repetitive tool, cable and parts handling tires the hand less. Bioservo launched it in 2018 and sold the Ironhand business to the Dutch passive-exoskeleton maker Skelex in June 2024, which now sells the 2.0 version (date of the 2.0 revision unconfirmed) directly from its web shop with a dealer network for demos and training. The system weighs under 3 kg, comes with two batteries, a charger, arm straps and a hard case, and gloves come in sizes S to XL. It is priced for companies at about $11,700, and users need a short certification before operating it.
