The Accelerating Competition in the Bionic Hand Industry
What is city talk?
The Emergence of Lower-Cost Devices
If you wanted to purchase a multi-articulating bionic hand in 2015, you would have had only a few mainstream options, all costing between $35,000 and $70,000 US for a complete solution.
Roll forward six years and at BionicsForEveryone.com we now list 14 bionic hands from 13 companies on our website, with another 5 devices likely to be added before the end of 2021. The lowest-priced hand on that list is currently $8,000. There are three more that sell for less than $18,000, and that includes a forearm socket and also prosthetist fees.
