Nigerian Firm Develops Hyper-Real Bionic Arm for Amputees
Breakthrough for Nigerian Amputees
A groundbreaking creation has emerged from Uyo: the Ubokobong Bionic Arm. Developed by Immortal Cosmetic Art, this hyper-realistic prosthetic is designed specifically for Black skin tones and responds to electromyography signals—meaning it moves with the brain.
A Dream Born from Personal Need
The bionic arm was inspired by the founder’s brother, Ubokobong, who lost several fingers in a firework accident. Initially, the project focused on aesthetics—matching the skin tone and realistic appearance. Now, after years of research, the product is fully functional and emotionally empowering for users.
Global Demand with Local Heart
Despite being crafted in Nigeria, the arm has generated orders from the U.S., U.K., Australia, and Ghana. The company hopes for partnerships with government bodies and NGOs to make the prosthetic affordable for Nigerians who most need it.
A Leap for African Health Tech
The Ubokobong Bionic Arm embodies innovation, inclusivity, and empathy setting a new standard in tech-driven healthcare from Africa.
