scupelabs

Medical knowledge, experience, and understanding of patient needs

scupelabs is the research and development laboratory of iMEDgine GmbH. We combine technological and medical expertise and innovation with the insight in patients’ needs. Because our deep understanding of the special needs of patients is the basis for our product development.

With handscupe®, we have developed an innovative positioning device that specifically supports the treatment of rheumatic or paretic symptoms of the hand while significantly alleviating the patient’s symptoms.

Our products go through a long process – from the idea to development and testing – until they are evaluated in clinical trials and used by patients. All steps take place in close cooperation with physicians and therapists. In this way, we ensure the maximum safety and level of performance of the handscupe®.

Our philosophy

Day by day, we are passionately working on developing innovative solutions that are demand-driven and help improve the patients quality of life. In doing so, we focus on generating real added value for patient care.

The quality of our actions and our products is the major focus throughout the entire life cycle of our medical devices. We continuously develop and improve the processes that are part of our products.

High comfort through prototyping

It is our ambition to continuously improve the handscupe® by conducting clinical studies and test series. Thus, individual prototypes were manufactured during the development of the handscupe®, based on the anatomical data from more than 300 human hands and on the anatomically correct wrist position.
