DESCRIPTION

Hero ARM is an End-Effectors from Open Bionics. It is built for Medical-Assistance, Rehabilitation, Helping.

Hero ARM is Open Bionics' 3D-printed multi-grip myoelectric bionic arm for people with below-elbow limb differences. It was the company's first product and is described as the first clinically approved 3D-printed bionic hand for children and adults. The wearer controls it with muscle signals and selects from up to six grips for daily tasks. A quick-rotate wrist turns 180 degrees and comes in small and large sizes. The arm has a fluted liner 3D printed from soft elastomer (VentTech, FlexPrint) that breathes, flexes and comes out for washing, plus a BOA dial that tightens or loosens the frame as the limb changes size during the day. Freeze Mode locks the hand on a held object and disables muscle control so the grip cannot release by accident. More than 50 MagSwap magnetic covers change its look, and the Sidekick app provides training videos and tracking.
