Father who lost arm in train accident at 13 becomes first in UK to be fitted with bionic hand

Michael Swainger has become the first person in the UK to be fitted with a bionic hand on the NHS. Mike was 13 when he lost his right arm and leg after being hit by a train in east Hull in 1992

A man has become the first in the UK to be fitted with a bionic hand on the NHS after losing his arm in a train accident.

Mike Swainger, from Hull, was just 13 when he lost his right arm and leg in a horrific accident in 1992 when he was hit by a train while playing with friends.

After being picked as the first person to receive the UK’s most advanced medical technology, Mike said the best thing is being able to walk down the street hand-in-hand with his youngest daughter Jodie, 6.

Mike, 33, said the battery-powered myo-electric bebionic3 hand has given him a new lease of life.

He said: ‘It has changed my life immeasurably.

‘Having a bionic hand that actually works like a real hand is such a confidence booster. It encourages you to take on different tasks and is a great ice breaker. I’ve heard little kids in the street saying “Look, it’s a robot”.’

He continued: ‘The best thing was when my youngest child, Jodie, held the bionic hand in the street without batting an eyelid. My family are over the moon.’

The arm consists of two electrodes in a socket, with one connected to his bicep and the other linked to his tricep.

Electronic impulses from the muscles and nerve endings create a current, which triggers the ‘Terminator-style’ hand.

If Mike tenses his bicep, the hand closes and if he tenses his tricep, it opens.
