With continued advances in modern technology, cosmesis, the creation of life-like limbs made from silicone, has been made possible. Such prosthetics, such as artificial hands or feet, can now be made to mimic the appearance of real limbs, complete with freckles, veins, hair, and even tattoos. Custom-made cosmeses are generally more expensive while standard cosmeses come ready-made in various sizes, although they are often not as realistic as their custom-made counterparts.
Another option is the custom-made silicone cover, which can be made to match a person’s skin tone but not details such as freckles or wrinkles. Cosmeses are attached to the body in any number of ways, using an adhesive, suction, form-fitting, stretchable skin, or a skin sleeve.
A partial foot prosthesis can help distribute the weight-bearing forces comfortably on the remaining portion of the foot and allow for the patient to walk for a longer period without as much discomfort. They are custom fabricated from a special blend of silicone which offers flexibility, comfort, durability, and stain resistance. They rarely cause dermatological reactions and detailing such as hair, freckles, age spots, tattoos, etc. can be added.
