At Real Life Prosthetics, we are dedicated to providing exceptional alloplastic restorations that enhance the lives of our patients. Our expertise in creating high-definition silicone prostheses ensures that you regain both biomechanical function and aesthetic function in your daily life.
Our finger and hand prostheses are designed to significantly improve your ability to grasp objects securely. By restoring finger length, natural bend, and proprioceptive feedback, these prostheses enable you to perform everyday tasks with ease.
For instance, a thumb prosthesis restores the essential function of "opposition," allowing the thumb to touch or pinch against other fingers for a stable grip. Each prosthesis is crafted to ensure both passive and active biomechanical function, comfort, and aesthetic function. Adjustable armatures maybe integrated into fingers to facilitate specific grasping patterns, while medical-grade silicone ensures reduced skin reactions, increased durability, and optimal proprioceptive feedback.
Foot and toe prostheses are designed to restore forefoot leverage for improving gait patterning and walking symmetry. Also to support optimum alignment of the sound foot, ensuring comfortable weight bearing within the prosthesis and the appearance of the foot.
To ensure symmetry and a perfect fit, we take precise casts of both the residual limb and your sound side. We also meticulously capture a myriad of unique skin tones, that are then hand-painted on each prosthesis to match your distinct coloring, creating life-like appearance.
During follow-up appointments, adjustments to the prosthesis trim lines are made to ensure a seamless transition from the prosthesis to the skin. Beveling the edges of the prostheses involves creating a slight slope in the trim lines, which minimizes friction, shear forces, and the risk of skin irritation.
Every alloplastic restoration at Real Life Prosthetics is uniquely crafted with medical-grade silicone, ensuring durability, reducing dermatological reactions, and providing optimal proprioceptive feedback. We are dedicated to supporting each patient’s journey to regaining mobility and independence, treating every individual with the utmost care and attention.
