Trying a bionic hand for the first time is a big moment.
It’s not just about replacing what was lost—it’s about feeling in control again. Grabbing a cup, opening a door, tying a shoelace. Things that once felt out of reach suddenly become possible again.
But here’s the truth—not all fittings are the same.
To really understand how a bionic hand works, you need to try it. Feel the grip. Test the movement. See how it fits your life, not just your arm.
In this guide, we’ll walk you through where and how to try advanced bionic grips—like the ones in our Grippy™ hand—right in your city.
Whether you’re in Delhi, Pune, Bengaluru, or a smaller town nearby, we’ve got you covered with real locations, expert clinics, and what to expect when you visit.
Let’s get started.
Understanding Advanced Bionic Grips
What Are Bionic Grips?
Bionic grips are special types of movements built into modern prosthetic hands.
They allow users to do everyday tasks using natural muscle signals. These grips are controlled by your body—usually from your forearm or upper arm muscles.
When you flex a specific muscle, the hand responds. It opens, closes, pinches, or holds, just like a real hand would.
These movements are powered by myoelectric sensors and advanced microcontrollers. But to the user, it feels simple. Just think, move, and act.
How Many Types of Grips Are There?
Most bionic hands, like our Grippy™, come with multiple preset grip modes.
These include things like a power grip for holding bottles, a precision grip for picking up small items, a key grip for holding flat objects, and a tripod grip for tools or pens.
Some hands can switch grips with a simple muscle pulse. Others use gesture-based triggers.
Each grip serves a different purpose. The goal is to give you freedom to do what matters most—at work, at home, or outdoors.
Why Advanced Grips Matter
Without advanced grips, a prosthetic hand is just a clamp. It can open and close, but not do much more.
But with modern bionic grips, users can perform fine motor tasks like using a mobile phone, holding a credit card, or unlocking a door.
This makes life smoother, faster, and more independent.
Advanced grips also improve your posture and reduce the strain on your shoulder and back—because the hand does more of the work.
Who Should Try Bionic Hand Fittings
Ideal Candidates for Bionic Grips
If you have a below-elbow amputation, and your residual limb has good skin and muscle tone, you’re likely a great candidate.
We’ve fitted students, farmers, IT professionals, factory workers, and home-makers. Some lost limbs in accidents. Others were born without a hand.
The key factor is whether your body can generate clear myoelectric signals. If you can flex your forearm muscles, even lightly, there’s a high chance you’ll be able to control a bionic hand.
Even if your muscles feel weak right now, don’t worry. Therapy and training can improve them.
Trying Before You Decide
Many people are unsure whether a bionic hand is right for them.
That’s exactly why we offer trial fittings. You get to see how it feels, how it works, and whether you can control it naturally.
Some people try it and feel confident right away. Others take a few days or a second visit to get used to the feel.
There’s no pressure. Just a chance to try before making a decision.
When Is the Right Time to Try?
You can schedule a demo as early as 6 to 8 weeks after surgery, once your wound has healed.
If your surgery was a while ago, that’s fine too. We work with people who’ve been without a hand for months or even years.
The best time to try is when you feel ready to take the next step toward independence.
What to Expect at a Trial Fitting
Your First Visit: What Happens
When you come in for a demo, the first thing we do is listen.
We ask about your injury, your routine, and what you hope to do with your new hand.
Then, we check your muscle signals using surface EMG sensors. These tiny sensors are placed on your skin and help us see how strong and clear your signals are.
Based on your signal strength, we let you try different grip modes on our Grippy™ hand. You can hold objects, press buttons, and try small daily tasks.
All of this happens in a calm, guided session—with plenty of breaks and time to ask questions.
Customizing the Grip Experience
Each person’s needs are different.
Some want to drive again. Others want to go back to typing, cooking, or farming. That’s why we customize the fitting experience to your lifestyle.
We’ll help you test the grips that matter most to you.
You’ll also get to see how the socket feels, how the hand connects to your limb, and how the device charges and fits into your daily life.
This trial is about you—not the hand.
Next Steps After the Trial
If you’re happy with the fitting, we’ll explain the full process for getting your own hand.
That includes socket customization, therapy timelines, training, and payment options.
But if you need more time to decide, that’s okay too. We’ll share videos, FAQs, and connect you with past users who can share their experience.
This is your journey. We’re just here to make it easier.
Where to Try Grippy™ in Your City
Pune – The Home of Grippy™
Pune is where RoboBionics began, and it’s still our main hub.
Here, you’ll find our full setup—demo units, fitting lab, and therapy rooms. Our team offers one-on-one attention and same-day fittings if you’re ready.
Because we manufacture here, you also get the fastest access to socket customization and service support.
If you’re near Pune or planning a visit, this is the best place to start.
Delhi NCR – Metro Access, Strong Rehab Network
In Delhi and the surrounding areas like Noida and Gurgaon, we’ve partnered with skilled prosthetists and PT clinics.
We hold trial fittings at centers equipped with EMG testing tools and trained support teams. Many users here prefer private demo slots and are interested in grip performance for professional use—like office work or presentations.
Metro access makes it easy to reach our partner clinics, and we also help arrange transport if needed.
Mumbai – Fast-Paced Care With Focus on Precision
In Mumbai, our partner clinics offer demos that focus on real-world tasks—from using local trains to office tech.
Fittings happen in well-equipped centers in areas like Andheri and Navi Mumbai. Because the city moves fast, our sessions are designed to be quick but complete.
We also offer on-site grip trials where users test bionic hands on their actual work tools—like laptops, utensils, and workshop tools.
Bengaluru – Tech-Driven Fittings
In Bengaluru, we often meet users who want to understand the inner working of their prosthetic.
That’s why our clinics here offer detailed grip breakdowns. Users can try multiple grip modes and even request specific trial tasks like gaming, typing, or lifting.
Sessions are held at accessible locations in Indiranagar and Jayanagar. Our PT partners in the same area help with muscle prep and post-fitting training.
Hyderabad, Chennai, and Beyond
We’re expanding fast, with demo points now available in Hyderabad, Chennai, Guwahati, Kolkata, and Ahmedabad.
If your city isn’t listed yet, don’t worry. Many users travel to the nearest partner clinic, and we help with lodging and travel planning.
You can also request a remote video consult first, where we check your eligibility before scheduling your in-person demo.
How to Know If a Clinic Is Doing It Right
Are They Focused on You—or Just the Device?
A good clinic doesn’t just show you the hand. They show you how it fits into your life.
During your trial fitting, you should feel heard. The team should ask about your job, your hobbies, your home setup.
They should adjust the grip modes and socket design based on your answers—not just hand you a standard demo unit.
Do They Explain Things Clearly?
The best clinics take time to explain how the grips work, how your muscles control them, and what to expect during your first few weeks of use.
If they rush through the demo or avoid your questions, that’s a red flag.
At RoboBionics partner clinics, we make sure you understand every part—from how the sensors work to how to clean your device.
Is There a Plan Beyond the Fitting?
You should always leave your demo session knowing the next steps.
Will there be training? Who do you call for help? What if you want an upgrade later?
Clinics that offer a full support plan—including PT, emotional guidance, and service backup—are the ones worth trusting.

How Businesses Can Empower Bionic Hand Access
A New Era of Accessibility in the Workplace
More companies in India are beginning to see accessibility not just as a legal checkbox—but as a real opportunity for inclusion, innovation, and impact.
Bionic hands like Grippy™ aren’t just medical devices. They’re productivity enablers. They allow individuals to return to work, contribute actively, and pursue new roles with dignity.
For businesses, this opens up a chance to lead with purpose—not just in hiring, but in support, sponsorship, and creating accessible ecosystems.
Supporting an Employee Through a Bionic Hand Journey
If you’re an employer and one of your team members has experienced an amputation, here’s how you can make a real difference.
Start by arranging a trial session for them with a trusted provider like RoboBionics. Don’t wait for them to bring it up—many hesitate due to fear or uncertainty.
Cover travel or stay if they’re coming from another city. Often, a small logistical gesture makes a huge emotional impact.
Once they’re fitted, create a flexible return-to-work plan. Give them time to adjust to their new prosthetic, offer gradual task reintroduction, and pair them with a peer mentor if possible.
Remember, post-fitting support isn’t just about physical ability—it’s about confidence.
CSR Strategy: High-Impact, Measurable Outcomes
For CSR teams looking to create meaningful impact, funding bionic hand fittings offers clear, measurable, and life-changing results.
Each fitted individual gains independence, mobility, and a path back to work or education. And every project can be documented—from trial to transformation—creating stories that inspire stakeholders and build brand trust.
You can adopt a region-focused model (support all amputees in one district), a profession-specific campaign (support blue-collar workers), or a child-first approach (fitting students and young adults).
RoboBionics offers full backend support for CSR partners—impact reports, case studies, patient documentation, and follow-up tracking. We ensure every rupee is well-accounted and transparently used.
Partnering with Clinics: A Smart Business Move
Businesses in the healthcare, insurance, or rehabilitation space can also partner directly with clinics offering bionic hand fittings.
By sponsoring equipment, devices, or staff training, you improve care standards and become part of a growing assistive tech network.
Such partnerships also bring cross-promotion opportunities—especially for brands seeking social credibility alongside commercial relevance.
You could even host co-branded demo days in your corporate parks or retail spaces, helping people discover solutions they didn’t know existed.
Understanding the Costs and Support
How Much Does a Bionic Hand Cost?
This is one of the first questions most people ask—and rightly so.
At RoboBionics, we believe in full transparency. A bionic hand like Grippy™ costs between ₹2.15 lakh to ₹3 lakh, depending on the model, grip features, and level of customization needed.
This includes everything—fitting, training, adjustments, and ongoing support.
There are no hidden fees. No surprise add-ons. What you see is what you get.
We also offer basic models at lower prices for users who may not need advanced grip features.
What Affects the Price?
Costs depend on a few things:
- The number of grip modes you choose
- Whether you need a custom socket or liner
- Add-ons like cosmetic covers or silicone sleeves
- Follow-up therapy sessions and extended support
You’ll receive a detailed price breakdown after your trial. And if you need time to decide, that’s perfectly okay.
Help Through Insurance, CSR, and NGOs
Not everyone can afford a bionic hand upfront—and we understand that.
We work with several CSR programs, NGOs, and rehabilitation funds to support those in need. Some users also get partial reimbursements through private health insurance or government schemes.
If you need help, just let us know. We’ll assist with documents, letters, and even connect you with donors or supporters whenever possible.
For users from low-income backgrounds, we occasionally offer subsidized fittings or priority in CSR campaigns.
Training After You Get Fitted
First Week: Getting Used to the Grip
Once you’re fitted with your own Grippy™ hand, the first week is about learning.
You’ll wear it for short periods each day—getting comfortable with the weight, the grip speed, and the fit.
We guide you through simple exercises. Pick up a towel. Open a drawer. Hold a glass. Each task helps your muscles get used to giving commands.
You may feel a little tired. Or even frustrated. That’s okay. It’s part of the process.
Week Two and Three: Grip Mastery
By now, you’ll have a feel for how your bionic hand moves.
This is when we start focusing on real tasks—based on your job, your home routine, and your personal goals.
Some users want to return to office work, so we train on laptops, notebooks, or phones. Others want to cook again, so we help them use spoons, plates, and pots.
Every session is personalized. No two people have the same journey—and that’s the beauty of it.
Long-Term Support
After training, we stay in touch.
You’ll get scheduled follow-ups where we check the fit, muscle response, and grip settings. If something doesn’t feel right, we fix it.
We also guide you on battery care, cleaning routines, and how to travel with your prosthetic.
Many users later ask for upgrades or new grip modes, which we install as needed.
You are never left to figure it out alone.
Real Lives Changed by Grippy™
Reena, a Young Mother from Nagpur
Reena lost her right hand in a bus accident while saving her child. At just 31, she faced daily struggles—holding her baby, making roti, locking the door.
She visited our Pune center and tried Grippy™ in a quiet demo room. At first, her muscles were weak. But with some training and encouragement, she began using the grip switch with ease.
Two weeks after fitting, she sent us a video—holding her son in one hand, and a spoon in the other.
Now, she’s living on her own terms again.
Adil, an Engineering Student in Delhi
Adil lost his hand during a Diwali firecracker accident. He worried about falling behind in college, especially in labs.
He tried Grippy™ in our Delhi clinic. During the trial, we tested the tripod grip and typing mode. His muscle signals were sharp. Within days, he was back on his laptop.
Today, he’s preparing for his M.Tech—and has even helped us test our next prototype.
