It all started from a request for reducing the burden on doctors
Hideyuki Fujisawa is the second-generation president of Nitto. Co., Ltd.,
an SME manufacturer mainly engaged in metalworking. Nitto, established 54 years ago,
specializes in manufacturing its products under an integrated production system from development to mass production.
One day, Fujisawa had an opportunity to meet with Hiroshi Kawahira, M.D., Ph. D., and Ryoichi Nakamura, Ph. D. in Engineering, both of whom served then as associate professors of Chiba University's Center for Frontier Medical Engineering.
They consulted Fujisawa about new product development, asking, "Wouldn't it be possible to reduce the burden on doctors who are forced to stand for long hours during surgical operations?"
Fujisawa, a pro in engineering, and the two professors, experts in their respective areas, hit it off right away and enjoyed a lively conversation about the new product. They even generated some specific ideas on the spot.
Looking back the reasons behind this, Fujisawa believes that all of the people there shared the same strong passion to help doctors who face tough work every day.

Fujisawa named this prototype "Archelis" so that people could easily imagine its function as a chair allowing a user to walk (in Japanese, this kind of chair is pronounced "arukeru isu," which is directly translated into a "walkable chair").

Case study
We sell and rent “archelis”, an exoskeleton assist suit that enables leg-strain-free standing works. When "archelis" is attached to the legs, the weight of the wearer is dispersed and supported by shins and thighs, making long-hour standing works easier.
Feature 1.
Freely walk and sit anywhere you want
Thanks to comfortable fitting and right-and-left separated structure, it enables you to repeat "walking" and "sitting" freely with wearing it.
Feature2.
No power supply needed
Only a mechanical structure, without power supply or motor, makes it work. You don't have to worry about running out of battery or charging.
Feature 3.
Easy to wear for any height or body type
Just fasten three places on foot, shin, and thigh on each leg by yourself. Now you can start using it.
