Short Description
Espire Classic Plus
The Classic Plus is a mechanical elbow featuring a forearm counterbalancing mechanism, and a manual lock to allow the patient to freely position the device with minimal effort. The elbow lock is controlled via a cable on the device with a simple upwards pull this can be done with the sound hand or via another body movement captured through a harness. Humeral rotation can be controlled via means of friction adjustment. Pass through electronics allow various inputs and batteries such as the S-Charge System to be attached using a plug-in board, which are then routed through the elbow to the distal end to enable the use of a wide range of terminal devices.

The Espire Classic uses the same comfortable counterbalance system and manual locking function as the Classic Plus. However this is the ideal option for patients seeking a lightweight elbow as it does not contain any electronics and circuitry.
Espire Basic
The Espire Basic offers the most lightweight option for patients as it contains no electronics or battery but still presents with a clean, sleek appearance. The device is body-powered with a manual lock for reassuring security, with an economical dial adjusted spring-assist to enable the elbow to be positioned with ease and provide fluid movement.
