"The Hero Flexes have done everything I wanted and needed. With them being 3D printed, it just had all the breathability to it. Sweating was just pretty insane in my previous carbon fibre socket."
"I love the fit of my Hero Arms — and since the shape and weight of my arms haven't changed, the team just printed my Hero Flexes with exactly the same fit and sent them out with no clinical appointments needed. I have already completed 47 miles this week on the bike. I love them."
"This is an amazing company that produces an amazing product. I can't say enough about Open Bionics and the Hero Arm. They continually go above and beyond and everyone is always so helpful, patient, and kind."
"My experience working with Emily and Open Bionics has been amazing. Emily went over and beyond to help make my dream of getting 2 Hero Arms possible."
"The Hero Arm has made a huge impact in my life. Elise and the team at Open Bionics are life changers. They have supported me every step of the way through my journey. Open Bionics is the best choice for function, sustainability, and reliability. I will tell anyone — get the Hero Arm."
"I'm a quad amputee with bad skin integrity and one arm cut shorter than the other. I thought I couldn't do it. Elise listened to me and took everything I wanted into consideration. My life is so much better since I chose Elise and Hero Arms."
"Emily was wonderful — knowledgeable and accommodating to our ever-changing appointment schedule. She connected with John immediately, knew how to make on-the-spot adjustments, and demonstrated the Hero PRO's abilities clearly and effectively. We look forward to working with her in the years to come."
"We loved working with Emily. She was really patient with my son all through his fittings and trainings. She was great with questions and fixes. We had a wonderful experience."
"My father-in-law and I made the trip to Chicago from Michigan. He lost his arm over 50 years ago in a machine press and never thought about anything other than his mechanical prosthetic arm. Jonah took an incredible amount of time and truly made this experience life changing. We highly recommend Open Bionics."
"Cannot express how amazing Katie was during my pick-up of my new prosthetic. Within seconds she made me feel so comfortable and was so thoughtful in helping me get use to my new hand. I had such a great experience. I feel very supported and looking forward to this new experience in prosthetics."
"It was an absolute pleasure working with Dan and Open Bionics. Dan was so welcoming and so wonderful to work with. Jordan was so excited to go see Dan for each visit. Getting Jordan's Hero Arm was life changing — a complete confidence boost, and Dan's patience and help teaching Jordan to use it was amazing."
"Couldn't have asked for a better group of people to help me get my new arm. They are knowledgeable, kind, and didn't make me feel like just a customer. If you're looking for an affordable below-elbow prosthetic, these are the only people I'd recommend."
"Open Bionics is awesome. From day one driving to Orlando meeting Emily to start the process was a great experience. Emily was very professional and knowledgeable throughout the whole process — kept me updated every step of the way, and when I went back to her office to pick it up, she made sure that everything worked properly and I was happy."
"I absolutely love my new state-of-the-art Hero Arm — it's 3D printed to fit me perfectly. It incorporates several advanced features, from three different user modes to carbon fiber cables. My Hero Arm has allowed me to return to many of my previous activities I could no longer do since my amputation."
"Best experience, best of the best technology as an amputee — and just overall can't wait to see what's coming for me. Thank you."
"Excellent service, very professional. We are very happy — I think we found the right people to provide the necessary support for our daughter. With this new prosthesis our daughter will have an easier and happier life."
Three steps. One specialist. We handle the paperwork, the appeals, and the insurance, so you don't have to.
Tell us your limb difference and location. We respond within one business day and book your free consultation at your nearest Open Bionics specialist.
At your free consultation, try a trial bionic hand fitted with MyoPod electrodes. Open and close it using your own muscles. Your specialist maps the best muscle sites, takes a 3D scan, and confirms which Hero device fits your goals.
We custom-print your Hero device and confirm the socket fit. At delivery, your specialist trains you on use and grip customization. Remote HeroCare™ follow-ups support you long after.
Nearly 9 in 10 of our patients get approved by insurance. If the answer is no, we appeal. Many denials get reversed on second review. From insurance to Medicaid, Medicare, VA, TRICARE, or self-pay, your specialist walks you through every option and handles the paperwork.
