See GEM in real life.
From work tasks to everyday routines, watch how users are putting GEM to use in the moments that matter most.
GEM Lock
Lowest force to grip.
Zero force to hold.
GEM Lock secures the GEM hand in position once a grasp is established, so users can maintain their hold without continuously applying harness tension.
Less effort
Reduce the need to continuously maintain harness tension.
Lower fatigue
Relax after securing a grasp during longer holding tasks.
Secure holding
Keep the hand in position until you are ready to release it.
Technology you can trust. Built to last.
Strength you can depend on — waterproof, durable, and ready for real life. When reliability meets effortless function, your prosthetic becomes invisible.
Pressure you can feel
Waterproof design
Instant response
Durability redefined
Elegance in engineering. Strength in design.
Pinch Grip
Delicate precision made easy — from zipping a jacket to picking up a key.
Power Grip
Lift, carry, and move with strength you can trust — all day, every day.

Hold a phone, carry a book, or grasp a steering wheel with natural stability.
Trusted by users. Backed by clinicians.

Flipping the script on prosthetics.
At Metacarpal, our vision is to create a future where upper-limb prosthetics are trusted, embraced, and never left behind. Too many prosthetic users are let down by devices that feel alien, fragile, or hard to control. We’re here to change that—with technology that works with you, feels like it belongs, and keeps up with real life. This is prosthetics, redefined.
