Silicone Finger Prosthesis

Why it Needed?
We custom-make your silicone finger prosthesis, thumb prosthesis, or hand prosthesis to protect sensitive tissue, improve function and normalize appearance. We mimic the texture, color and translucency of your skin and nails to create prosthetic fingers and hands with a natural appearance. We work closely with patients and their families to determine a prosthetic solution that will be comfortable, life-like, and functional.

Silicone artificial fingers and hands may be needed due to :

• Congenital or birth difference; such as Amniotic band syndrome or symbrachydactyly (missing or underdeveloped fingers)
• Surgery - finger amputation due to cancer or tumor removal
• Disease such as diabetes or scieroderma resulting in finger amputation Traumatic injury - work-related injuries, burns, or other traumas

How We Make?
We custom-make each fin er prosthesis and hand prosthesis in our own laboratory ensuring hig quality and individual design. The process requires 4 to 5 appointments which involve these steps :

• We make molds of the hands using gentle materials.
• We modify the patient model and fabricate a diagnostic test socket to evaluate fit.
• We carefully sculpt the shape of the prosthesis in wax as we establish a natural contour.
• When the sculpture is complete, we fabricate a durable mold which allows us to reproduce the silicone prosthesis.
• We have you try on a prototype version of the prosthesis and will make modifications until a secure fit is achieved.
• We back-paint the fingernail for a natural appearance.
• We meticulously paint every skin detail using your color formulae in your mold.
• We check the finger or hand prosthesis for precise fit, and delicately paint color details, such as freckling, onto the surface.
• We demonstrate wear and care instructions so that you can use your prosthetic finger or hand with confidence.
