How a Karachi workshop found buyers for a two thousand dollar bionic arm
Bioniks has no venture round to its name. It grew on sales, donors, government orders and prizes, and in 2026 it is leaning on an oil company to reach patients who cannot pay.
Bioniks
Bioniks is a Karachi social enterprise that designs and 3D prints myoelectric bionic arms, and more recently legs, for amputees and people born with limb differences, selling them at a fraction of the price of imported devices and matching patients who cannot pay with donors.
