The IntegraMouse® is a mouse controlled by lip movements and sip and puff clicking. It is ideal for computer users with various physical challenges including total paralysis, amputees, muscular dystrophy, or multiple sclerosis.

If you have severe physical challenges using a computer is a powerful aid to independence. The computer today can offer so many benefits to the special needs user; facilitating communication and interaction, as well as providing access to a wealth of information. The computer is an empowerment tool, dramatically enhancing your quality of life.

Accessing the computer other than via a standard keyboard and mouse can present a number of problems. However the IntegraMouse® is a highly attractive solution for a large range of challenges. The IntegraMouse® is especially designed for users who are unable to operate a mouse with their hands.

IntegraMouse® has all the functions of a standard mouse enabling the user to control all functions of the computer by lip movements. The IntegraMouse offers a sensitive sip and puff solution that controls the range of mouse clicks (left click, right click, double click, drag&drop).

To operate, the user simply places the mouse between the lips and operates the cursor by applying pressure with the lips. Requiring as little as 0.1 mm of movement or 10g of pressure to control the mouse, the IntegraMouse enables the computer to be accessible to users with physical disabilities and limitations. Mouse-clicks are triggered by the user slightly sipping and puffing into the mouth piece.

David Hofer, General Manager at LifeTool: „The essential advantage of IntegraMouse® is achieved through a membrane in the mouthpiece of the device which partially blocks the flow of air coming in. By breathing in and blowing out this membrane makes movements forwards and backwards. The underlying optical sensor take the movements of the membrane and change them into corresponding mouse signals.“
