Stop saying that the price of prosthetics in China is expensive, see the summary of foreign bloggers
There are many types of lower limb prostheses to choose from, such as mechanical joint prostheses, pneumatic joint prostheses, hydraulic joint prostheses, and bionic joint prostheses. The selection range is wide and the costs vary.
How much does a prosthetic cost? The average cost of prosthetics will depend on your amputation condition and the type of prosthetic you are installing. For foreigners, there is health insurance available, while for most domestic customers, they need to pay for it at their own expense.
Speaking about foreigners:
If you have health insurance, you need to check the insurance limit.
. Insurance can be fully paid, so you don't have to pay anymore. Patients without health insurance are just like us. It completely requires self payment. According to a foreign blogger, the price of low-end mechanical prosthetics ranges from $8000 to $120000, while the price of high-end bionic legs controlled by computers varies from $120000.Calculate the current exchange rate:
The price range is roughly:
8000 US dollars ✖ 6.78=54240 yuan
120000 US dollars ✖ 6.78=813600 yuan
This is even higher than the current prices of prosthetic limbs sold in the domestic market. It seems that our market price is really not high.
Here is the data compiled by a foreign blogger:
The foreign blogger believes that the price of a new prosthetic may be between $5000 and $50000, and even the most expensive prosthetic can only withstand three to five years of wear and tear. Can this indicate that the service life of the prosthetic is between 3 and 5 years?
. The blogger also pointed out that the most expensive prosthetic knee joint today is the Genium X3, known as the "Maserati" of the prosthetic world. This special prosthetic has the characteristics of waterproof, dustproof, and saltwater resistant, and can operate silently. According to the manufacturer's estimate, the cost is $120000. The above prices are entirely based on foreign bloggers' statistics and do not represent official figures. But after reading this article, I instantly felt that the prices of prosthetic limbs in China are not as expensive anymore.
