What is Smart Prosthesis?
A smart prosthesis is an advanced artificial limb designed to mimic natural movement using sensors, microprocessors, and intelligent controls. It adapts to the user’s activity and environment, offering improved functionality, comfort, and independence.
Sensor integration: Detects muscle signals or motion to control the limb.
Microprocessor control: Adjusts movement and stability dynamically.
Adaptive functionality: Responds to different activities like walking, running, or grasping objects.
Connectivity: Some models can connect to mobile apps for monitoring or customization.
What Batteries Are Used in Smart Prosthesis?
| Battery Type | Typical Voltage | Typical Capacity | Pros and Cons | Application Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 18650 Li-ion | 3.6-3.7V | 2000-3500mAh | Pros: High energy density, rechargeable, stable output Cons: Cylindrical shape may require modular design |
Commonly used in prosthetic limbs for motors and sensors requiring sustained power |
| 21700 Li-ion | 3.6-3.7V | 4000-5000mAh | Pros: Higher capacity than 18650, stable discharge Cons: Larger size, requires careful integration |
Suitable for advanced prosthetic arms/legs with longer operating time |
| Custom LiPo Pack | 3.7V (single cell) or higher | 50-2000mAh (per cell), can be scaled | Pros: Flexible shapes, lightweight, high energy density Cons: Higher initial cost |
Ideal for compact prosthesis electronics, wearables, and devices with size constraints |
Advantages of Using Custom Smart Prosthesis Battery
Aesthetic Integration
Traditional batteries like 18650 batteries come in fixed shapes, which can limit design flexibility and affect the overall look of the prosthesis. Custom LiPo batteries, on the other hand, can be tailored to perfectly fit the internal contours of the device, allowing for a sleek, seamless, and visually appealing design.
Other Advantages
1. Maximized Space Utilization
Custom LiPo batteries can be designed to perfectly fit the internal contours of a prosthesis or medical device, making full use of available space. This allows designers to minimize bulk while keeping the device compact and lightweight.
2. Enhanced Safety
These batteries can include integrated safety features such as overcharge, over-discharge, and short-circuit protection. Custom shapes allow placement of protective circuitry in optimal positions, ensuring safe operation in critical medical devices like insulin pumps or prosthetic limbs.
3. Lightweight and Compact Design
Custom LiPo batteries are thinner and lighter than standard cylindrical cells, which helps reduce the overall weight of wearable devices and enhances user comfort.
4. Improved Performance and Efficiency
Tailored battery design ensures optimal power delivery to match the device’s requirements, supporting high discharge rates, fast charging, and consistent performance over long cycles.
5. Wide Temperature Range Operation
Custom LiPo batteries can be engineered to operate reliably across a broad temperature range, making them suitable for devices used in varying environmental conditions.
LanDazzle Battery Solutions for Smart Prosthesis
Given the uniqueness of smart prosthesis, curved battery solutions are the ideal fit for smart prostheses. Here’s why:
Optimal Space Utilization: Curved batteries are perfect for smart prostheses because they can conform to the internal contours of the device. Prosthetic limbs are designed to be lightweight and compact, and a curved battery can fit the unique structure of the prosthesis, ensuring that every space is used efficiently without adding extra bulk or compromising comfort.
Enhanced Comfort and Fit: A curved battery can seamlessly follow the shape of the prosthetic limb, providing a more natural and comfortable fit for the user. This is especially important for smart prostheses, where comfort, usability, and aesthetics are top priorities.
LanDazzle offers a wide range of shaped LiPo batteries designed to perfectly fit the unique contours of smart prosthesis. Our custom-shaped liPo batteries can be made as thin as 0.6mm and as narrow as 4mm. Available shapes include curved, round, L-shaped, C-shaped, and D-shaped, among others.
LanDazzle shaped LiPo batteries deliver excellent performance, with a long cycle life of over 1000 cycles, operating safely across a wide temperature range of -40°C to 80°C. They also support fast charging up to 5C, ensuring both high efficiency and reliable power for compact and advanced smart devices.
