High-tech prosthetic arms have the power to transform lives by providing more mobility, independence, therefore a better quality of life.
However, there are certain reasons that make people hesitant to use them. In this blog post, we will explore why some people abandon high-tech prosthetics and offer solutions to address their concerns.
1. Common Reasons for Abandoning High-Tech Prosthetics
1.1 Complexity and Difficulty of Use
One common reason individuals abandon high-tech prosthetics is the perceived complexity and difficulty of use. Many people believe that these advanced devices are only suitable for those who are technologically savvy or highly educated. That’s why Vulcan recognizes the importance of user-friendly interfaces and intuitive controls.
Vulcan's myoelectric prosthetic hand is designed with simplicity in mind, ensuring that users can easily adjust the settings to their individual needs with just three simple steps: Wearing the devices, Doing calibration on the Vulcan app and Practicing the hand, that’s it! The mechanism of use, featuring an intuitive grasp-and-release functionality, is easy to understand and operate. Vulcan simplifies every step as much as possible so users from different backgrounds can comfortably use the Vulcan hands.

1.2 High-Tech Prosthetics are Only for the Elite
Another common thought is that high-tech prosthetics are only accessible to the elite due to their high cost, especially with bionic hands. While it is true that some advanced prosthetic devices can be expensive, Vulcan is committed to making these life-changing solutions more affordable and accessible to a broader range of individuals.
By offering a range of pricing options, Vulcan ensures that individuals can find a prosthetic solution that suits their budget. It is crucial to consider the long-term value and the potential for quality of life that these prosthetics bring.

1.3 Maintenance and Durability
Concerns regarding the maintenance and durability of high-tech prosthetics often contribute to their abandonment. Vulcan understands the importance of reliable and durable prosthetic solutions.
Vulcan is committed to providing not only cutting-edge technology but also excellent support. Users can rely on the Vulcan app to access assistance and troubleshooting whenever needed. Additionally, regular maintenance is crucial for ensuring the longevity of the prosthetic.
Vulcan offers comprehensive guidance on how to care for and extend the lifespan of the device, enabling users to fully enjoy the benefits of their high-tech prosthetic for years to come.
2. The Promise of High-Tech Prosthetics
2.1 Enhanced Daily Activities and Self-Care:
The impact of high-tech prosthetics extends to various aspects of daily living. With the advanced functionality provided by Vulcan's myoelectric hand technology, individuals can perform activities of daily living with greater ease and efficiency.
This includes tasks such as dressing, grooming, preparing meals, and even driving. By regaining the ability to carry out these activities comfortably, individuals experience an increased sense of self-reliance and a restored level of normalcy in their everyday lives.
2.2 Pursuing Hobbies:
One of the most transformative aspects of high-tech prosthetics is their ability to open up new opportunities for individuals in hobbies and activities they are passionate about. Whether it's cooking, or engaging in sports and recreational activities, high-tech prosthetics provide the necessary tools to participate fully and enjoy these pursuits. By enabling individuals to pursue their hobbies and passions, high-tech prosthetics contribute to improved mental health and overall well-being.
2.3 Breaking Through Limitations and Achieving Full Potential:
High-tech prosthetics have the power to break through the physical and psychological limitations often associated with limb loss. Physically, high-tech prosthetics help individuals regain lost capabilities, allowing them to perform tasks with a level of precision and dexterity that closely resembles natural limb function. This physical empowerment contributes to a more inclusive society that recognizes and values the contributions of all individuals, regardless of their physical abilities.
