Products · Myoelectric

A hand that grips again,
and looks like yours.

Myoelectric hands open and close with the electrical signals of your muscles. On a comfortable socket we choose the hand that fits what you want to do again — and, if you wish, add a skin-matched silicone cover.

Myoelectric Hand

Built in three layers

A myoelectric hand is moved by sensors in the socket that read the electrical signals produced when the muscles of your residual arm contract. The right set-up depends on the length of your arm, your muscle signals and the tasks you want back.

01

Comfort

The socket around your arm and the sensor positions — the base for both comfort and a responsive hand.

02

A hand that grips

Basic, multi-articulating or partial-hand myoelectric, or a titanium semi-automatic finger — chosen by the movements you need.

01 · Comfort

A socket that holds comfortably
and reads signals reliably

Inside a myoelectric socket sit the sensors that read your muscle signals. The socket must hold the arm evenly so the sensors stay in steady contact with the skin — so it shapes both comfort and how the hand responds. We make a soft silicone inner socket with a light, rigid carbon outer socket.

  • Arm length and muscle signals checked to set sensor positions
  • Test-socket fitting to check comfort and response before the final socket
  • Designed not to restrict bending and straightening the elbow
  • After fitting, training from producing muscle signals to everyday grips

02 · A Hand That Grips

Hand types,
chosen by the movements you need

Hands are what we use most, so the right one depends on what you want to do again. If opening and closing is enough, a basic hand; if you need many grips, a multi-articulating hand whose fingers move individually. If only fingers or part of the palm are missing, a partial-hand myoelectric or a titanium semi-automatic finger may suit.

  • Chosen by amputation level, arm length and muscle signals
  • Wrist rotation or flexion units can be added (depends on the product)
  • If work and social life need different things, we also discuss pairing a functional and a silicone prosthesis
Basic Myoelectric

Basic myoelectric hand

Focused on gripping, holding and opening with thumb, index and middle finger. Depending on the product, speed control, hold-after-grip and automatic grip-force adjustment are added.

SuitsPeople who mainly need to grip, hold and release

e.g. SensorHand Speed, DMC Plus

Multi-Articulating

Multi-articulating hand

Five fingers move individually for many grip patterns — picking up, key grip, pressing with a finger. Some products change or set grips through a phone app.

SuitsPeople who need varied movements at home and at work

e.g. bebionic, Michelangelo, i-Limb

Partial Hand

Partial-hand myoelectric

Powered fingers for people who keep the wrist but have lost fingers and part of the palm, built around the shape and length of the remaining hand.

SuitsLoss of several fingers and part of the palm

e.g. i-Limb Digits

Semi-Automatic

Titanium semi-automatic finger

No battery: press it against your body or a surface to bend it, and it opens automatically when fully flexed. 3D-printed titanium makes it light and strong, and it can be used in water.

SuitsComplete loss of index, middle or ring fingers

03 · A Natural Look

A silicone cover
that looks like your own hand

The mechanics of a myoelectric hand are often on show. Drawing on our silicone prosthetics work, we discuss adding a silicone cover shaped and coloured to match your other hand. Skin tone is measured digitally with Technovent’s E-SKIN system (UK) and mixed to match.

  • E-SKIN digital measurement for the closest match to your other hand
  • Hand shape and nails modelled on your other hand
  • Which covers are possible depends on the hand type and shape — confirmed at consultation

Guides & Stories

Hand guides and stories

Options by amputation level, and customers who chose functional hands.

Hand & arm

What is a forearm (transradial) amputation, and which prosthesis can I choose?

A forearm amputation is limb loss between wrist and elbow. Upper-limb amputation levels, what a forearm prosthesis must do, and silicone vs functional options.

Customer story

Why add a titanium semi-automatic finger after years with a cosmetic one?

After years with a cosmetic silicone finger, a customer who lost an index finger added a 3D titanium semi-automatic one. Who it suits, daily use, planning.

Customer story

Back to farm work after losing a hand: which prosthesis suits the job?

For orchard work we chose a 3D titanium semi-automatic hand over a powered one: why it suits water and soil, and the silicone palm pad sized to farm pipes.

Customer story

Partial hand loss on both hands: how are the prostheses planned?

Our customer lost the right thumb and part of the left palm. We made a single-segment thumb prosthesis and, for the other hand, an easy-to-wear glove-type.

How do I choose a prosthetic arm, hand or leg? A step-by-step guide for first-timers

Choosing a prosthesis is about the function your life needs, not the price tag. Budgeting, deciding what you need, funding, comparing prosthetists and adapting.

How We Fit

From consultation to your finished hand

  • Amputation level, muscle signals and the tasks you want back
  • Casting and setting sensor positions
  • Test-socket fitting for comfort and response
  • Choosing the hand, wrist unit and silicone cover
  • Training after fitting
  • Check-ups and after-care while in use
About cost. The cost of a myoelectric hand depends on the hand type (basic or multi-articulating), wrist units, the socket and whether you add a silicone cover. For patients in Korea, whether support programmes apply — and how much — is confirmed with the National Health Insurance Service, the Korea Workers’ Compensation & Welfare Service or your local community centre. Send us photos of your arm and the tasks you want back, and we will clarify what you need before suggesting a set-up.
