How to patent your development in order to sell it all over the world?

A rather simple and interesting idea came to my mind, which I am now implementing in a prototype (universal feedback system for prosthetic hands). But because of the simplicity, the finished product is easy to disassemble and assemble a copy. How can I properly patent my development (primarily in the US and the EU)? How vague can you be in terms?
Is it worth it to worry about it at all?

It’s just worth steaming, because as far as I understand what you came up with is an invention.
You can't solve it yourself, it's best to go to the patent office.
Also prepare your wallet, as you will first need to check whether such a patent already exists in some of the countries.
And also a patent needs to be registered in each country, sometimes there are proposals for patenting for a region or a block of countries.

In general, you shouldn’t worry about prosthetic hands, etc., they are expensive, few people have money for them, so if you had an idea how to reduce their cost tenfold, then yes, but that’s how real the task is, so it immediately turns out that one idea, to put it mildly, is indispensable, and any fool can generate ideas without implementation.

and here and there for a long time, up to three years + expensive, 4-6k at least for amateurs

The easiest and fastest way is in American embassies, if you have one and you speak English, the initial amount of pre-patent registration is about $ 80, which gives you priority as the 1st applicant for registration, you can also untie your language and communicate freely with investors, etc. Also in their embassies in other countries through a trustee, for example, like this
