Artistically Designed Finger Prostheses
Combining Aesthetics With Function
Silicone Finger Prostheses
Restoring Function to the Hand
A silicone finger prosthesis can realistic replace the missing length of the finger and restore function. We work with each client to recreate the shape and color of the missing anatomy and create a securely fitting prosthesis that can be comfortably used without worry. Call us for more information and to set up a fee video consultation.
Finger Prostheses as Wearable Tech
We creatively work with each client and develop finger and hand prostheses by collaboratively developing designs unique to them. On occasion we work with clients who are artists and design professionals themselves and we have developed unique designs that are highly successful at restoring function (see video below).
Thumb Prosthesis 3D Printed in Titanium Metal
As medical artists and technologists we are are continuously doing research into the latest technologies and materials we to apply to the field of prosthetics. We also see prosthetics as capable of being sophisticated and wearable art. A thumb prosthesis was designed and printed in titanium for a client who injured her hand in a work related accident. The prosthesis fits securely over a short amputation stump and restores the length of the thumb and function to the hand in addition to being a beautiful decorative piece of functional art.
This 3D printed finger prosthesis was completed with assistance from the applied research lab at Mohawk College's Additive Manufacturing Research Centre in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada with funding from SONAMI Southern Ontario Network for Advanced Manufacturing Innovation
