Launch of Rental Sales for New Medical HAL Lower Limb Type B

CYBERDYNE Inc. will begin rental sales of the new medical HAL Lower Limb Type model on Wednesday, May 20, 2026.

As the successor to the previous model, this product incorporates insights gained from years of clinical operation to improve operability and efficiency. Notably, a single unit can accommodate users with heights ranging from 150cm to 190cm, simplifying the inventory management previously requiring multiple sizes and reducing the burden on medical facilities.

The new model has already received medical device approval in Japan and Europe. In Japan, it is covered by public health insurance for 10 neuromuscular and spinal disorders, just like the previous model. Clinical trials for expanding indications, currently being pursued by the company, will be conducted using this new model. Furthermore, enhanced data integration features domestically and internationally will facilitate the company-wide deployment of Physical AI.
