Silicone Prosthetic

Partial foot silicone prosthesis

• Partial foot amputations can be a result of disease (such as diabetes and other related vascular/circulatory conditions), trauma, infection, tumors (cancer) or congenital abnormalities of the front part of the foot. The partial foot prosthesis has four main functions:

• To restore the full length lever arm of the amputated fore-foot.

• To correct and support optimum alignment of the remaining foot.

• To ensure comfortable weight bearing within the prosthesis by applying pressure in non-sensitive areas and relief of pressure over sensitive areas, such as bony prominences.

• To improve the cosmetic appearance of the foot.


Silicone finger prosthesis

Direct trauma to the hand or fingers is by far the highest cause of finger amputations; it is rarely as a result of disease. This is often work related injuries, but can also be as a result of recreational activities or hobbies, such as shooting or perhaps woodwork. Silicone finger prostheses – provide basic functional support by allowing improved opposition grip between the amputated fingers and the thumb. Objects can therefore be gripped between the prosthetic fingers and the thumb.
