Open Bionics Hero Gauntlet Prosthetic Review: Price, Specs, Availability

As someone who has been shoved into prosthetics before I was old enough to say "get it off", I was intrigued when the superhero-style 3D-printed prosthetic limb launched back in 2018. It was definitely exciting if you were a kid who wanted to be a superhero. I was hopeful that, after donning a 90s myoelectric arm--similar to a fake limb you might find backstage of an amateur dramatics theater group only heavier--or any of the other cumbersome limbs that haunted my past, the Hero Arm would be the beginning of a future of more comfortable, sought-after designs. Open Bionics--the prosthetic company known for the Hero Arm--have recently launched a new prosthetic designed for those with partial hand differences. The Hero Gauntlet enables a wider range in dexterity for people who have either congenital hand differences or amputated fingers.
