Our prosthetic arms are adaptable. They are designed to better replicate everyday hand movements. Amputees can now engage in physical activities with more ease.
The artificial arms by Symbionic are highly comfortable. They prevent issues like sweating, chafing, and skin irritation, ensuring maximum comfort for amputees.
Our bionic arms are designed to offer maximum functionality as they come with multiple adjustments and grip options to perform different physical activities.
Choose from various available grip patterns to do activities of daily living ( ADLs ) with ease.
With its easy to use locking mechanism, you can easily switch between positions and give your arm freedom to move.
The arm has sensors for precise control over movement, and is compatible with a variety of prosthetic hands, making it adaptable to different needs.
A prosthetic arm is a device used to provide support for people with limb differences. There are several types of upper limb prosthesis available in the market: some are only for cosmetic purposes while others serve cosmetic as well as functional purposes.
The modern bionic prosthesis are more functional than the traditional prosthesis that were designed majorly to serve cosmetic purposes. Modern prosthetic arms are designed to offer maximum functionality, comfort, and convenience for amputees.
The cost of upper limb prosthesis in India varies based on the type of prosthetic hand. Bionic arms are more expensive than traditional prosthesis. The cost of cosmetic and body powered upper limb prosthesis starts from about 15,000 and can go up to Rs.1 to 2 lakhs depending on the quality and detailing of the said prosthesis.
Bionics available in the Indian market can go up to Rs. 10 lakhs. Bionics imported from outside the country can even cost more than Rs. 30-40 lakhs.
Note: These prices are for giving an approximate idea of the prosthesis market in India and in no way whatsoever are to be treated as a quotation/ absolute price by the company.
The functioning of upper limb prosthesis varies based on their type. The traditional prosthetic arms have levers and buttons to control their movement. On the other hand, modern bionic prosthetic arms have sensors and microprocessors incorporated into them, which allow better control over the wrist, hand, and fingers of the artificial arm.
It is necessary to maintain the hygiene of your socket (the part that connects the prosthesis to your arm)- you can use a damp cloth to wipe the inside regularly to prevent unnecessary odour and bacterial growth. You can also use a damp cloth to wipe the prosthesis.
Please do not use anything else for cleaning without consulting your prosthesis company/ prosthetic clinic as every product has a different outer surface and needs specific care. Before using water on your bionic, ensure that it is water-proof.

Rishi Krishna is an entrepreneur, social worker and co-founder of Symbionic. Rishi is a product person who revels in bringing creative ideas and smart people together towards achieving impactful vision!
Since December of 2015, Rishi has been passionately engaged towards creating an impact in the society by solving real-world problems creatively.
Our founder and CEO, Rishi Krishna, was 24 years old when he met with a catastrophic accident that changed the course of his life. The accident led to the amputation of his right arm. But instead of allowing the catastrophic event put a full stop to his dreams, he decided to leverage his pain to build a better world.
It was striking, that despite such extraordinary technology development around the world, Rishi and millions of people like him were unable to find a solution. This lit a fire in Rishi as he decided to build Symbionic.
What began as a small group of young hackers & engineers has grown to include engineers, experts, social workers, and designers – along with an incredible group of doctors, clinicians, and non-profits working in the developing world.
