Silicon Prostheses: We pride ourselves in creating state of the art Aesthetic Silicon Prostheses custom fabricated from a special blend of silicone polymers which offers flexibility, patient comfort, and durability and which restores not only appearance, but also part of the function of the missing body part. Understanding the deep emotional trauma that is caused by losing a body part, we strive to restore the appearance of the missing part significantly so that it is virtually unnoticeable without close examination. Why Silicone? Silicone is one of the few materials which is well tolerated by the human body and, therefore, rarely incites dermatological reactions. It is also resistant to high and low temperatures and the effects of the sun. Furthermore, silicone is stain resistant and durable and has a very natural and life like appearance due to intrinsic and extrinsic colouration to match the patient’s natural skin tone. The suppleness of the material allows for a precise suction fit, and due to its flexibility, permits good range of motion of the remaining body parts. Sensitive areas can be relieved by incorporating softer silicone into the internal surface of the socket.
