A Ukrainian soldier who lost his legs while clearing mines has found hope at the Superhumans Centre in Lviv, a facility offering prosthetics<\/a> and rehabilitation. Yevhen Pramonov was injured last December in Donetsk when he stepped on a mine. Evacuated under heavy gunfire, he survived due to prompt first aid and later treatment at the Superhumans Centre.<\/p>\n

The centre, established after the Russian invasion, has become essential for both soldiers and civilians. It specializes in prosthetics, mental health support, reconstructive surgery, and rehabilitation. So far, it has treated more than 625 people and provided 850 prosthetic limbs.<\/p>\n

Aether Biomedical<\/a>, founded by two Indian innovators, has played a key role in this success by supplying advanced bionic arms. The company, established by Dhruv Agrawal<\/a> and Faith Jiwakhan<\/a>, has provided 70 bionic arms<\/a> to amputees at the centre.<\/p>\n

Aether Biomedical emerged when Agrawal and Jiwakhan, medical students in New Delhi, met a man who lacked access to functional prosthetics. They developed a prototype for a bionic hand, \u2018Zeus,\u2019 that is activated by the user’s muscle signals. “Our prosthetics use electrodes connected to the user\u2019s muscles to transmit signals to an algorithm, which then converts the signals into precise movements,” Dhruv Agrawal explained.<\/p>\n

The prosthetics are 3D printed, configurable remotely, and locally repairable, making them ideal for Ukraine<\/a>‘s war-torn regions. Agrawal pointed out the high demand for prosthetics due to the conflict. He added, \u201cUsually, bionic hands are weak, break easily, and take forever to repair. Our arm is the strongest in the world. It has a gripping capacity of 35kg, damage-resistant fingers designed to withstand the impact of daily life, and it can be repaired locally.”<\/p>\n


Dr. Faith Jiwakhan noted, “We have developed a digital platform for the \u2018Zeus\u2019 hand that connects clinicians and patients through a cloud-based mobile app. Clinicians can remotely configure the prosthetic, monitor device usage and make real-time adjustments.”Yevhen Pramonov plans to return to the armed forces to deliver lectures after receiving his new bionic limbs.The Superhumans Centre provides prosthetic limbs for free, funded by international organizations. Costs for these advanced prosthetics range from euro 9,000 to 50,000.
