Disney-themed prosthesis made for young amputees
Open Bionics designed Disney-themed bionic arms to make young amputees feel better about wearing them. Kids can have Iron Man, Frozen, or Star Wars inspired arms that they will be proud to wear.
Disney gave the Open Bionics the rights to design movie-inspired prostheses. The startup makes them by 3D printing and each arm costs $500 each.
“Now kids can get excited about their prosthetics. They won’t have to do boring physical therapy, they’ll train to become heroes. They’re not just getting medical devices, they’re getting bionic hands inspired by their favorite characters. The Walt Disney Company is generously donating the time of its creative teams and providing royalty free licenses. More designs coming soon!” Open Bionics said in a statement.
