AULEXMED BL-120

Community rehabilitation, falls and frailty services and occupational therapy teams working with older people can use the BL-120 for short daily practice where hand function has declined, once the cause has been assessed. Hand therapy services can use it after nerve release surgery when the surgeon's team agrees, and musculoskeletal and rheumatology services can add it to exercise plans for joint conditions. Care homes with therapy input can use it under a care plan that names who fits the glove, how long sessions last and what to watch for. Day centres with therapy staff can use it for supervised sessions where a simple routine matters.

Population fit sets the safeguards. A decline in hand function can signal nerve compression, a neurological change or an inflammatory flare, so assessment comes before training. Users need to be able to stop a session or have a carer present, older skin needs checking before and after use, and reduced sensation calls for closer supervision. As a powered device, it belongs in the organisation's medical device management system, with electrical safety checks before issue, a record of each user's size, side and mode, and WEEE handling at end of life. A short note after each session, recording mode, duration and any discomfort, helps the therapist adjust the plan.

NHS trusts, social care providers, and public health systems abroad purchase through procurement routes that require 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.

A compact main unit

The main unit is described as portable and compact. It suits small rooms, home settings and care home lounges, and it stores easily between sessions. It needs little space on a table or tray.

One-button start

AULEXMED describes a one-button start with simple operation. Older users and carers can begin a session without navigating menus, which helps people who find complex devices off-putting. Carers can learn the routine quickly.

Mechanical finger separation

A mechanical adjustment sets which fingers move. The same glove can switch between modes as needs change, and the setting stays put once chosen.

Three finger modes

Single-finger, opposing-finger and multi-finger modes are listed. The therapist can focus on one finger or the whole hand so that practice can move from a single finger to all of them.

Opposing-finger practice

An opposing-finger mode is listed among the modes. Its movement is described in the instructions for use, and the therapist decides when to use it. It adds variety to a home programme.

Five sizes for each hand

S to XXL are listed for left and right hands. Stiff or swollen hands can be fitted from the range once measured. Each person uses a glove for their own hand side.

Short sessions that suit routines

Simple controls make short daily sessions practical. Practice can fit around meals, visits and rest, and regular short practice is easier to keep up. Carers can fit sessions into the day's care.

Documents for a powered device

Ask the enquiry team for this model's declaration of conformity and its electrical safety reports. Both papers support local device management and safety testing before issue.

Records for buyers

The company's stated records include ISO 13485:2016 certification of the factory and EU MDR Class I declarations for mapped product families. The enquiry team shares the documents relevant to the BL-120 for procurement files.

Main unit

A portable, compact main unit runs the trainer, according to the specification. Its weight and size are figures to request.

One-button start

A single button starts the trainer, as AULEXMED describes. Operation is described as simple, which keeps the routine the same each time.

Finger separation adjustment

The finger sections are adjusted mechanically. That sets which fingers move in each mode, and the method is shown in the instructions for use.

Single-finger mode

One finger can be trained on its own. The therapist selects which, often a finger that lags behind the others.

Opposing-finger mode

An opposing-finger mode is listed. The instructions for use explain how it moves the fingers.

Multi-finger mode

Several fingers move together in this mode. It suits broader hand practice, often in later stages of a programme.

Training glove

An orange glove fits the hand in the photograph. It carries the finger actuators, and its material and lining are points for the documentation.

Finger actuators

Black actuators run along each finger, as photographed. Each one bends and straightens its finger during a session, and how they are driven is a point for the documentation.

Two gloves shown

Two gloves appear in the photograph. Whether one glove or a pair is supplied is a point for the quotation.

Textured ball

An orange textured ball sits in one glove in the photograph. Its supply is set out in the quotation.

Five sizes

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

Left and right versions

Each size is available for the left and the right hand. The side must match the hand being trained.

Colour listing

The sheet lists black, while the photographed gloves are largely orange. The colour supplied is set out in the quotation.

Listed indications

Neurological diseases, musculoskeletal diseases, postoperative nerve entrapment syndrome and functional decline of the hand in middle-aged and older people appear on the sheet. The questions above take each in turn.

Power details

The drive method, power source, charger and any battery are set out in the manufacturer's documentation. Buyers outside the UK should confirm the local plug and supply.

Mechanical mode setting

Modes are set mechanically, as the specification describes. That keeps the controls simple, and no menu is described for choosing a mode.

The BL-120 is a portable hand trainer with a compact, one-button main unit and mechanical finger separation for single-finger, opposing-finger, and multi-finger modes, available in five sizes for left and right hands. It suits older people whose hand function has declined (once the cause is assessed), recovery after nerve release surgery (when the surgeon agrees), and exercise plans for joint conditions. Skin checks, the ability to stop a session and the duties of a powered device apply throughout. Please confirm the drive method and power source, whether one glove or a pair is supplied, and the colour that will ship before ordering. Medigear.uk lists the BL-120 for business buyers worldwide and can arrange quotations, delivery and familiarisation for therapy and care staff.
