High Definition Silicone Finger Prostheses

The loss of a finger produces significant functional deficiencies.  In addition to immediate loss of grasp strength and security, finger absence also may cause marked psychological trauma. Although the intensity of this trauma varies among individuals, the psychological impact is not related to the magnitude of amputation.

The degree of detail of these prostheses is so highly customised and individual that they are remarkably lifelike.

If the client has movement in the remaining portion of the finger, the silicone prostheses can restore some lost function of the finger. The silicone prostheses also protects the sensitive tip of the finger from further trauma.

Individual fingers normally have a feathered edge to blend seamlessly with the hand. These are normally attached through a suction fit.
