Bionic suit takes pain out of lifting for nurses. Well, okay, I think it's an exoskeleton sort of thingie, but:
Early tests of a prototype allowed a nurse weighing 141 pounds to lift a patient weighing 154 pounds. A commercial version of the suit will cost about $1,700 and could be available in two years.
