Meet the first fully water-resistant bionic arm 🚿

Under the IPX8 Surface: Hero RGD Reaches Highest Certification Rating.

Hero RGD sets a new benchmark as the first water-resistant bionic arm on the market certified IPX8. With seals that lock out water, a valve that releases trapped humidity, and a wireless build, it’s ready for anything from showers to snowballs.

This milestone isn’t just about reaching the highest water resistance rating – it’s about freedom. Freedom to say yes to activities that once caused worry, and to trust your bionic arm in more places than ever before.

Keep reading to discover what sets Hero RGD apart. 

1. Wireless Grip That Doesn't Quit 🧽

Hero RGD is a fully wireless bionic arm. MyoPods read your forearm muscle signals and send them via Bluetooth to the hand – even when the hand is wet – giving you reliable grip while rinsing vegetables, washing dishes, or reeling in a fish.

2. Tested to New Depths 🏊

The entire arm is certified to the highest industry water resistance standards. Hero RGD was pushed to 1.5 meters depth for an hour – far beyond everyday use demands. Swim in a pool, splash through water games, or take on a water roller coaster ride. All the water fun, none of the worry.

3. Seals to Make a Splash 🎣

Every joint, motor and battery is reinforced with thickened 3D-printed nylon walls and hand-applied silicone seals to keep water and dust out. That means you can step into the shower, water the garden, or hose down the car without hesitation.

4. Built for Snowballs and Sunshine 🧊

Every joint, motor and battery is reinforced with thickened 3D-printed nylon walls and hand-applied silicone seals to keep water and dust out. That means you can step into the shower, water the garden, or hose down the car without hesitation.

Water resistance is just the start.

From all-day comfort, to precision control, discover what makes Hero RGD the most advanced bionic arm on the market – and let’s build a plan to make it your next prosthesis.
