Company Overview
Open Bionics is a UK-based company founded in 2014 by Joel Gibbard and Samantha Payne that develops and manufactures affordable, 3D-printed bionic arms for amputees. The company's flagship product, the Hero Arm, is a clinically approved, multi-grip myoelectric prosthesis designed to be functional, lightweight, and aesthetically empowering for adults and children with below-elbow limb differences. Open Bionics utilizes 3D scanning and printing to create custom-fitted devices, significantly reducing costs compared to traditional prosthetics. The company has notable partnerships with Disney, Marvel, and Lucasfilm to create superhero-themed prosthetic covers, aiming to turn disabilities into 'superpowers'. Open Bionics operates clinics in the UK and has expanded its clinical presence to the United States.
