FAQ
Who Can Use the Tactee System?
The Tactee® system is composed of a set of magnetic coupling elements designed for those suffering from upper limb disorders and affected by a mono / bilateral functional hand grasp deficit. It can be used in case of the main pathologies of the central nervous system, such as tetraplegia and post-stroke hemiplegia, multiple sclerosis or cerebral palsy and also for
pathologies of the peripheral nervous system of traumatic or iatrogenic origin. Considering pathologies of orthopedic origin, however, we refer to Rheumatoid Arthritis and all those situations where amputations of several fingers have become necessary.
Any Maintenance?
Nothing major!
All the elements that compose the Tactee®, system don’t have electronic neither “complex” parts, so their maintenance is extremely simple. Each tool can be washed by hand with hot water and neutral soap or in a dishwasher.
N.B. If the grip element is washed in the dishwasher, it is recommended to remove its cushion.
