Blue Arbor secures $5M from Ottobock to advance FDA breakthrough prosthetic control system

Blue Arbor Technologies has secured a $5 million investment from Ottobock, the global prosthetics leader, to advance its RESTORE Neuromuscular Interface System. Ottobock will lead Blue Arbor's Series A financing and hold a board seat. The FDA breakthrough-designated RESTORE System provides a fully implanted neuromuscular interface connecting advanced prostheses directly to patients' residual muscles and peripheral nerves. It enables independent, simultaneous control of fingers, wrist and elbow, with trials demonstrating stable signal capture for over five years. In December 2025, surgeons at the Medical University of Vienna completed the first-in-human RESTORE procedure. Within days, the patient demonstrated functional use with an Ottobock prosthetic. Founded by Drs Paul Cederna, Theodore Kung and Alex Vaskov, Blue Arbor has been awarded over $60 million in research grants and published more than 200 peer-reviewed papers.
