be yourself

When we created bebionic, we set out to design a prosthetic hand that could transform the lives of amputees worldwide, and help them regain a new level of independence and control. bebionic3 is the culmination of many years of development and is the most lifelike, functional, affordable and easy-to-use, commercially available bionic hand. We worked closely with amputees at every stage of development and testing, taking their input to design bebionic3 to work effectively in real life situations.

features
bebionic3 utilizes leading-edge technology and unique, ergonomic features that make it unlike any other hand available. Its sleek, innovative design and advanced construction materials make bebionic3 strong enough to stand up to the wear and tear of everyday use. These innovations combine to give the hand unrivalled versatility, functionality and performance.

innovative palm design protects bebionic3 from impact damage, and makes the hand quieter than ever.

selectable thumb positions and a built-in sensor enable users to complete more tasks than ever before.

several wrist options including wrists offering flexible wrist movement, manual rotation or the option to integrate with a powered wrist rotator.

powerful microprocessors continuously monitor the position of each nger, giving precise, reliable control over hand movements.

durable construction and advanced materials make bebionic3 strong enough to handle up to 99lb (45kg) so users can condently carry heavy objects.

individual motors controlling each nger allow the hand to move and grip in a natural, coordinated way. The motors are positioned to optimize weight distribution - making the hand feel lighter and more comfortable. foldaway ngers provide natural looking movement, and flex when brushing past people or bumping into objects.

soft nger pads and a wide thumb prole maximizes the surface area, and enhances grip.

grips
With 14 reliable grip patterns and hand positions, bebionic3 is designed to handle almost anything users need to do in a typical day. From key grip, for holding thin, at objects like plates, credit cards, or keys, to active index, exclusive to bebionic3, the only prosthetic hand that enables operation of home and garden appliances with trigger mechanisms, like hand held sprays, hairdryers and power tools.

standard glove
bebionic3 has been designed to look as real as possible, with a rounded shape and prole that gives the hand a natural appearance, especially when covered with one of our life-like silicone skins. Crafted using multiple layers of advanced silicone material, the skins are constructed with an integrated reinforcing mesh that makes them soft and durable, while being both easy to remove and clean. Available in 19 different life-like skin shades, with unique TrueFinish micro-pigmentation that makes the glove look as authentic as possible. Additional detailing on the palms, knuckles, nails and joints enhances the natural appearance of the hand. The gloves are also available in jet black for a more futuristic appearance.
