About
TASKA CX is a myoelectric hand prosthesis developed by TASKA Prosthetics in New Zealand, later associated with Steeper Group in the UK market. It is designed for upper-limb amputees and uses myoelectric control to switch among multiple grip patterns. The hand is known for a durable construction and a waterproof IP67 rating to the wrist, which makes it suitable for everyday use in wet environments.
The TASKA platform was introduced in the mid-2010s and positioned around practical hand function rather than anthropomorphic robotics. TASKA CX expanded on the earlier TASKA Hand with additional grip options and improved usability. In 2019, Steeper Group announced an agreement to distribute TASKA prosthetic hands in the United Kingdom and Ireland, bringing the product to a broader clinical market.
