Choosing a hand or arm prosthesis isn’t something you do on a whim. You want to know what’s technically possible, but above all, what it can mean for you or your child in daily life.
Will it be easier to hold things? Will the prosthesis give you more confidence at school, at work, or while pursuing your hobbies? And does it not only fit your body, but also who you are?
With the Open Bionics Center, we combine the innovative prostheses from Open Bionics with the personalized guidance of the Amputee Care Center. This way, you can discover, step by step, which solution is right for you.

Open Bionics develops state-of-the-art hand and arm prostheses for children and adults with an amputation or a congenital difference in the hand or arm. The prostheses are digitally designed, 3D-printed, and customized to your body, usage, and preferences.
At Amputee Care Center, we guide you through the entire process—from the initial consultation and intake to fitting, training, follow-up, and assistance with administrative matters or reimbursement.
We don’t just focus on the prosthesis itself; we focus primarily on your situation.
What do you want to be able to do again? What challenges are you currently facing? Which activities are important to you? And what does a prosthesis need to do for you to actually want to wear it?
Open Bionics often really captures children’s imagination. We understand that well. A prosthesis doesn’t have to be something you hide. It can also be something that reflects your personality and that you can wear with confidence.
For children, that can mean a lot, at school, while playing, when interacting with others, and in how they view their own bodies.
But Open Bionics is certainly not just for children. Adults, too, are increasingly looking for a prosthesis that is technically advanced, comfortable to wear, and fits their lifestyle, whether for work, daily activities, sports, hobbies, or simply to experience greater independence.
That’s why we always start with the same question:
The Hero ARM is a bionic arm prosthesis for children and adults with an amputation below the elbow. The prosthesis is custom-made and can be customized with different covers.
This makes the Hero ARM not only functional but also personalized. This combination can be especially important for children: a prosthesis that helps them in their daily lives and also matches what they find beautiful, cool, or fun.
Hero PRO was developed for those looking for a powerful, lightweight, and modern bionic hand prosthesis. The prosthesis is designed for everyday use, with various gripping functions and options to customize its operation to the user.
During the initial consultation, we’ll work with you to determine whether Hero PRO is a good fit for your amputation level, muscle control, activities, and expectations.
Hero RGD is designed for people who need greater durability in their daily lives. This includes work, outdoor activities, or situations where a prosthesis needs to withstand greater stress.
Not every prosthesis is suitable for every activity. That’s why we carefully assess in advance what you plan to do with it and which solution will give you the most confidence.
Hero FLEX is a modular system that allows you to switch between different applications. This makes it ideal for people who want to use their prosthesis in a variety of ways, such as for sports, work, water activities, or hobbies.
The socket is custom-made and designed with a focus on comfort, ventilation, and freedom of movement.
Hero GAUNTLET was developed for people with a partial hand deficiency. This solution supports grasping and holding without always requiring a full bionic hand prosthesis.
In cases of partial hand deficiency, customization is especially important. Small differences in fit, pressure distribution, and movement can have a significant impact on daily use.
A bionic prosthesis is capable of a great deal from a technical standpoint. But ultimately, what matters is what you can do with it in your daily life.
That’s why we take the time to fully understand your situation. We assess your residual limb, muscle control, skin, strength, range of motion, and daily activities. We also discuss what you expect from the prosthesis and what is realistically achievable.
We’re honest about this. Sometimes a bionic prosthesis is an excellent choice. Sometimes another solution is more practical. And sometimes a combination of different prostheses or accessories makes the most sense.
With us, you won’t receive one-size-fits-all advice, but a personalized plan tailored to your needs.

Many traditional prostheses are designed to be as inconspicuous as possible. That can be nice, but it doesn’t suit everyone.
Open Bionics takes a different approach. A prosthesis can be both functional and personal. You can choose a subtle look, but you can also opt for a design that truly reflects who you are.
For some users, that makes a big difference—not just in how the prosthesis looks, but especially in how comfortable it is to wear.
With more confidence. With less explaining. And sometimes even with pride.
People with an arm amputation from Belgium and the Netherlands usually receive (full) reimbursement for the Hero Arm from Open Bionics. In Belgium, this myoelectric arm prosthesis is often fully reimbursed for children through health insurance; for adults, it is often (nearly) fully reimbursed. In the Netherlands, the Hero Arm is covered by basic health insurance, but you usually need prior authorization. At our Benelux Center, we’ll help you with the application for approval or authorization.
If so, you’re welcome to schedule an initial consultation.
Perhaps you’re already wearing a prosthesis but are curious to see if there are more options available. Maybe you’re looking for a solution for your child that better suits their needs at school, during play, or for building self-confidence. Or perhaps you’re just at the very beginning of your journey.
Together, we’ll explore what’s possible, what makes sense, and what the next logical step is.
At Amputee Care Center, we combine innovative prosthetic technology with personalized care and years of experience in custom prosthetics.
You’ll be guided by people who understand that a prosthesis is more than just a medical device. It’s about comfort, confidence, ease of use, and whether you can truly integrate the prosthesis into your daily life.
That’s why we look beyond the technology alone.
We take the time to listen to your story, use modern measurement and design techniques, and remain involved even after delivery.

Yes, Open Bionics offers prostheses that may be suitable for children. Whether a prosthesis is a good fit depends on factors such as age, level of amputation, growth, muscle control, and daily use. That’s why we always assess each case individually.
Yes. Adults may also be eligible for an Open Bionics prosthesis. We primarily consider your daily activities, work, hobbies, experience with prostheses, and what you hope to achieve with the prosthesis.
With various Open Bionics prostheses, there are options for personalizing their appearance—such as covers, colors, or designs. We’ll discuss the available options with you throughout the process.
Yes. A bionic prosthesis requires practice. You’ll learn how your muscles control the prosthesis, how to use different gripping functions, and how to use the prosthesis in everyday situations.
That depends on your personal situation, the type of prosthesis, and the policies of the relevant agencies. We’ll help you explore your options and handle the necessary paperwork.
Yes. If you’re already wearing a prosthesis or have received a recommendation, you’re welcome to come to us for a second opinion. We’ll then work with you to determine whether Open Bionics or another solution is right for your situation.
