Heat and numb fingers are a risky pair, and that sets the terms for using the BL-116 safely. It is a hand-training instrument from Xiamen Benli Medical Technology, sold under the AULEXMED name, with graded heating gloves that the manufacturer says reduce muscle tension during training.

The host is described as dual-charging and plugging, so it can run from its battery or while connected to the mains, and a voice announcement function has been added. A memory stores speed and intensity so they need not be reset each time, and automatic intelligent mirror recognition is said to keep operation simple. In the photograph, a black glove with orange actuators grips an orange textured ball, and a round orange-and-black host shows a digital display and buttons. Because the host stores settings, a patient at home can repeat exactly what the therapist set in clinic.

AULEXMED lists neurological diseases, orthopaedic and joint diseases, peripheral nerve injury and maintenance of daily hand function. Several of those groups often have reduced sensation, which turns any heated device into a burn risk, so the lowest setting, short sessions and frequent skin checks matter. For stroke, NICE's 2023 guideline does not recommend robot-assisted arm training for routine use, so the instrument supports a therapist's programme and does not replace it. Heating limits and automatic shut-off are points to confirm before purchase.

Five sizes come in left and right versions, in black, with a carrying bag. Medigear. UK offers it in more than 80 countries, and the enquiry team provides stock and lead time.

Neurological and stroke rehabilitation units can use the BL-116 within supervised programmes, keeping the heating off or at its lowest level for anyone with reduced sensation. Hand therapy and orthopaedic services can combine warmth and movement for joint stiffness where skin sensation is intact and the therapist agrees. Community teams supporting people who want to maintain daily hand function can issue it for home use once the patient or carer can follow the safety routine, including skin checks after every session. Day hospitals and outpatient therapy gyms can use the memory function to keep each patient's settings consistent between visits.

Heat changes the risk assessment. Peripheral nerve injury, diabetic neuropathy, poor circulation, and fragile skin all raise the chance of an unnoticed burn, so use heat only where a clinician has judged it safe and set the level. Services should confirm the maximum temperature, any automatic shut-off and the language of the voice prompts before issue. Staff should brief patients and carers on what each voice prompt means and keep a printed copy of the instructions with the unit. As a powered device, it belongs in the organisation's medical device management system, with electrical safety checks, a record of stored settings for each patient and WEEE handling at end of life.

Purchasing teams in NHS trusts, independent rehabilitation services and public systems overseas use procurement routes that ask for a device's conformity status and registration. The conformity documentation those procurement routes require is issued by the manufacturer and shared by the enquiry team.

Graded heating

The gloves offer graded heating, which AULEXMED says reduces muscle tension during training. Levels let the therapist choose warmth or none at all, and heating can stay off for anyone with reduced sensation.

A settings memory

The host remembers speed and intensity, so sessions start at the agreed settings. Patients using it at home don't need to reprogram it each time, which keeps practice consistent between clinic and home. It also shortens set-up at each visit.

Voice prompts

A voice announcement function guides operation, according to the manufacturer. Spoken prompts can help users who find small screens hard to read, as long as the language suits the patient.

Automatic mirror recognition

Mirror recognition is described as automatic and simple to operate. The unaffected hand can lead the training glove, which suits bilateral practice.

Battery or mains running.

The host is described as dual charging and plugging, so it can run on battery or while connected to the mains. Sessions need not wait for a full charge, and the battery keeps it usable away from a socket.

A clear display

A digital display sits on the host in the photograph. You can read settings and status at a glance, including during heated sessions.

A carrying bag

The set comes in an upgraded carrying bag, according to AULEXMED. It keeps the gloves, host and charger together, which helps when the unit moves between home and clinic.

Five sizes for either hand

Each of the five sizes, S to XXL, is for one hand. You can match the affected side and size.

Records for buyers

The company's stated records include ISO 13485:2016 certification of its factory and EU MDR Class I declarations for mapped product families. The enquiry team can request the declaration, electrical test reports and heating limits for this model for procurement files.

Host unit

A round orange-and-black host controls the gloves in the photograph. It connects to the glove with a lead, and its weight and size are listed in the figures.

Digital display

A display on the host shows numbers in the photograph. Its readings are explained in the instructions for use.

Battery indicator

Green bars on the host appear to show battery level, as photographed. They help you plan charging, and the documentation sets out battery type and capacity.

Graded heating gloves

The gloves heat at graded levels, per the specification. The maximum temperature is a figure to request, and the lowest level is the safe starting point.

Voice announcements

The host gives voice prompts, according to AULEXMED. The available languages are noted in the documentation.

Memory function

Speed and intensity are stored between sessions. They should be reset for each new patient.

Speed and intensity settings

The host adjusts speed and intensity, as the specification describes. The therapist sets both.

Automatic mirror recognition

The mirror mode is described as automatic and intelligent. It lets the unaffected hand guide the training glove.

Dual charging and plugging

The host can charge and run while plugged in, according to the manufacturer. Use only the supplied charger, within its stated mains rating.

Finger actuators

Orange actuators run along each finger of the glove in the photograph. They move the fingers during training, and the documentation sets out their drive method.

Textured ball

An orange textured ball sits in the gloved hand in the photograph. Whether it is supplied is a point for the quotation.

Carrying bag

An upgraded carrying bag is listed, described as neat for storage and convenient to carry. It suits home and clinic use.

Five sizes

S, M, L, XL and XXL are listed. Measurements come from the size chart.

Left and right versions

Each size is made for the left and the right hand. The side must match the affected hand.

Black colourway

Black is the single colourway listed for the gloves. Orange details mark the actuators and host in the photograph.

Listed indications

The sheet lists neurological diseases, orthopaedic and joint diseases, peripheral nerve injury, and maintenance of daily hand function. The questions above take each in turn.

The BL-116 is a black hand training instrument with graded heating gloves, voice prompts, a settings memory, automatic mirror recognition and a display. It runs on battery or mains power, and the gloves come in five sizes for left and right hands, with a carrying bag. It suits supervised hand rehabilitation and daily hand function, with heat used only where judged safe. Reduced sensation, poor circulation and fragile skin make burns the main risk, so the lowest setting, short sessions and skin checks after every use come first. Before ordering, confirm the maximum glove temperature and any automatic shut-off, the language of the voice prompts, and the declared device class. Medigear.uk lists the BL-116 for business buyers worldwide and can arrange quotations, delivery and familiarisation for therapy staff.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything buyers need to know about sourcing medical equipment through MediGear.

AULEXMED describes the heating as graded, meaning there are several levels. The maximum glove temperature and whether the heating switches off automatically are points for the manufacturer's documentation, and buyers should have both before ordering. Starting at the lowest level is the safe default.

Heat should be avoided, or used only on a clinician's decision, for people with reduced sensation in the hand, poor circulation, diabetes affecting the nerves, fragile skin, open wounds or a hot, swollen joint. People who cannot report discomfort also need the heating left off unless a clinician decides otherwise. Movement training can still be used without heat.

AULEXMED says the graded heating gloves reduce muscle tension and support training. Whether warmth suits a particular hand is a clinical judgement, weighed against the burn risk. The therapist decides whether heat is used at all and records the level.

A voice announcement function guides the user through operation, according to the manufacturer. Buyers in English-speaking markets should confirm that the prompts are available in English, or in the language their patients use. The instructions for use explain what each prompt means.

The host remembers speed and intensity, so the same settings apply at the next session without being reset. If one unit is shared between patients, the stored settings should be checked and changed for each person. The therapist records the agreed settings in the notes.

AULEXMED describes automatic intelligent mirror recognition, a mode in which movement of the unaffected hand is copied by the training glove. How the recognition works, and what it needs, are set out in the instructions for use. It is a robotic form of bilateral training, not the mirror therapy that uses a reflection.

The host is described as able to charge and run while plugged in, so sessions need not stop when the battery runs low. Only the supplied charger should be used, and the unit should be kept away from water. The instructions for use set the cleaning method, and electrical parts should never be immersed.

AULEXMED lists neurological diseases, orthopaedic and joint diseases, peripheral nerve injury and maintenance of daily hand function. A therapist should assess each person, decide whether heat is safe and set a programme. The instrument adds practice and warmth within that plan.

The sheet lists S, M, L, XL and XXL, each for the left or right hand. A glove that is too tight can concentrate heat and pressure on the skin, so the fit should be snug, not tight. Hand measurements for each size come from the manufacturer's size chart.

Redness that does not fade, blistering, pain, new numbness or tingling, or swelling all mean stopping the session and switching off the heat. A suspected burn needs first aid and medical review. Any change in skin colour or temperature after a session should be reported to the therapist.

The BL-116 is a powered medical device with a heating function, so buyers should ask for the declaration of conformity and its stated class, since powered therapy devices can sit above Class I under UK MDR 2002. Electrical safety evidence such as testing to IEC 60601-1, which covers temperature limits for parts that touch the patient, and electromagnetic compatibility testing to IEC 60601-1-2 should come with it. MHRA registration through a UK Responsible Person is needed before supply in Great Britain, and CE-marked devices remain accepted there under transitional arrangements. Conformity requirements differ by destination market, and the enquiry team shares the manufacturer's documentation for the country the unit is going to.

The BL-116 is made by Xiamen Benli Medical Technology Co., Ltd in Xiamen, China, under its AULEXMED brand. Its stated records include ISO 13485:2016 certification for the manufacturing site and FDA establishment registration with device listings. EU MDR Class I declarations cover mapped product families, so the documentation request should ask which declaration, electrical tests and heating limits apply to this model.
