Transformative Touch: The Rise of Africa's First Hyper-Real Bionic Arm
In Nigeria, Immortal Cosmetic Art is set to launch Ubokobong Bionic Arm, a hyper-realistic prosthetic designed for Africans. Founded by John Amanam Sunday, the company aims to offer affordable and functional bionic arms mimicking human skin tones, inspired by a personal family experience.
In a groundbreaking initiative, Immortal Cosmetic Art, a Nigerian firm, is on the brink of launching the Ubokobong Bionic Arm, Africa's first hyper-realistic prosthetic hand. This innovative arm is tailored to mimic human skin tones and provide amputees across Nigeria with an affordable option that combines aesthetics with functionality.
John Amanam Sunday, the CEO and driving force behind this venture, was inspired by personal circumstances when his brother lost fingers to firecrackers, prompting him to create prosthetics that matched African skin tones. Initial models focused on aesthetics, but advanced research has led to a functional solution.
Despite prosthetics being inaccessible in Nigeria, the Ubokobong Bionic Arm has garnered international interest from countries like the US and the UK. The product embodies a step forward in prosthetic development for the region, aiming to restore both appearance and functionality to those in need.
