Prosthetic Arm

For individuals who have lost an arm due to accidents, illness or congenital conditions, custom-made prosthetic arm systems are designed to restore daily-life functions and improve quality of life.

Prosthetic arm systems are built as mechanical (body-powered), myoelectric, bionic or silicone cosmetic devices, depending on the amputation level, the user’s activity needs and individual goals. Every prosthesis is fully custom-made — no two are alike. A specialist evaluation is essential to determine the right system for you.

By Amputation Level

Below Elbow or Above Elbow?

Your prosthesis is shaped by your amputation level. Understanding the difference between these two systems is the first step toward choosing the right one.

Elbow preserved

Below Elbow Prosthesis

Used when the elbow joint is intact (transradial amputation). Because your natural elbow movement is preserved, both control and adaptation are significantly faster and easier.

Above Elbow Prosthesis

Used when the elbow joint is also lost (transhumeral amputation). An artificial elbow joint is integrated into the system; this makes the design and adaptation process more comprehensive.

Components in both systems

Socket

The custom-molded core component that contacts the residual limb.

Both levels

Liner

A silicone or gel inner sleeve that protects skin and ensures suspension.

Both levels

Frame

Lightweight, durable structural framework connecting all components.

Both levels

Artificial Elbow Joint

Provides flexion and extension. In myoelectric systems controlled by muscle signals.

Above elbow only

Terminal Device — The Unit That Replaces Hand Function

Three terminal device options can be used at both prosthesis levels.

Mechanical

Mechanical Hand / Hook

Cable-driven, body-powered system controlled by shoulder movement. Durable and easy to maintain.

Electronic

Myoelectric Hand

Works with sensors that read muscle signals. Provides natural opening and closing motions.


By Technology Type

Prosthetic Arm Types

Different prosthetic arm systems are available based on intended use and technology level. Our specialists work with you to identify the option that best fits your needs.

Myoelectric prosthetic arm electronic system
Myoelectric

Myoelectric Arm Prosthesis

An electronic system powered by muscle electrical signals. The most functional widely available system after the bionic class.
  • Controlled by muscle (EMG) signals
  • Natural grip and release motions
  • Compatible with bionic hand upgrades

Silicone / Cosmetic

Silicone Hand Prosthesis

Aesthetic appearance is the priority. Skin tone, fingerprints and vein details are individually crafted to match the user’s sound hand.
  • Custom skin-tone matching
  • Realistic fingerprint detail
  • Everyday wearing comfort

Pricing Information

Prosthetic Arm Cost

Prosthetic arm pricing is determined individually. The amputation level, system type and the components selected directly shape the final cost.

Price range

$3,000  to  $80,000

Final pricing depends on amputation level, system type, component brand and your individual anatomy. A body-powered mechanical below-elbow prosthesis sits at the lower end, while an advanced bionic above-elbow system sits at the higher end.

Entry

Body-powered mechanical

from $3,000

Mid-range

Myoelectric / Silicone hand

$10,000 – $30,000

Premium

Bionic hand

up to $80,000

Production Process

How is a Prosthetic Arm Made?

Building a custom prosthetic arm is a precise process. From measurement to delivery, every step is carried out according to the individual’s anatomy and functional goals.

1

Evaluation & Measurement

Our specialists examine the residual limb, amputation level and anatomical structure. For myoelectric and bionic systems, muscle signal (EMG) mapping is performed to identify the strongest control points.
2

Socket Casting & Test Fitting

A custom socket is built using either a plaster cast or a digital 3D scan of the residual limb. A test prosthesis is fitted and refined based on the patient’s feedback for maximum comfort.
3

Component Selection & Programming

The terminal device — mechanical hook, myoelectric hand or bionic hand — is selected based on your goals. Sensor positions are calibrated and grip patterns are programmed for natural control.
4

Delivery & Training

The final prosthesis is delivered and personalized training is provided — including muscle-signal control for myoelectric systems. Follow-up adjustments are scheduled to ensure long-term comfort.

International Service

Luxmed in 40 Countries
