"I am so happy with this arm. After wearing my old hook arm for a few days, I realized how spoiled I have been with the Hero Flex. It only took 45 minutes for the sweat to fill the inside because it doesn't vent out heat, it was so uncomfortable to wear even for a few days. I will tell you, I am not easy on my Hero Flex. I lift heavy stuff with it, I weld, grind metal, cut metal, we painted the house this summer and it worked everyday. It has done everything any of the harness hook arms I have ever had. For me the Flex is great, can't wait to see what you come up with next." 🦾 💙 Did you know that if you have a Hero Arm and you're happy with your fit, we can print and send a Hero Flex directly to you without a visit? 🦾

About us
Open Bionics: Open Bionics is a prosthetics company developing affordable, assistive devices that enhance the human body. We've started by introducing the Hero Arm, a stylish multi-grip bionic arm. Current upper limb prostheses exist as hooks, grippers, or expensive bionic hands. We're on a mission to make beautiful bionic limbs more accessible. Aged 17, Joel Gibbard began tinkering with robotic hands. There was something about the movement of a disembodied humanoid hand that captured his imagination. Hundreds of prototypes and many crates of failures later, in 2014, Joel co-founded Open Bionics with Samantha Payne. With the help of an awesome team and the support of the limb different community, they’re pioneering a new bionic age inspired by science fiction. www.openbionics.com The Hero Arm: The Hero Arm is Open Bionics' first commercially available bionic limb. The Hero Arm is the most affordable multi-grip bionic arm ever, less than half the price of its nearest competitor. Each Hero Arm is custom-built, and for the first time ever is available for upper limb amputees as young as nine.
