The opening width makes it possible to hold cylindrical objects with
large diameters and with an open thumb position (Fig. 5).
Together with the index finger and the middle finger, the thumb forms a
three-point support; small objects can then be fixated with the thumb
position closed (Fig. 6).
By spreading the fingers, a flat, thin object (< 3 mm/< 0.12 inch) can be
held between the fingertips when closing the hand (Fig. 7).
The Michelangelo Hand is turned on and off through pressing of the but
ton in the charging receptacle on the outside of the socket (Fig. 8).
