Cosmetic Prosthesis / Silicone Prosthesis
Cosmetic Silicone Manufacturer and Supplier in Delhi and Delhi NCR
A cosmetic prosthesis, also known as a prosthetic limb or artificial limb, is a device designed to replace a missing body part, such as a limb, finger, or ear. Unlike functional prostheses that aim to restore movement or function, cosmetic prostheses are primarily used for aesthetic purposes and to improve the wearer’s appearance.
Cosmetic prostheses are typically made of materials such as silicone or latex, and are custom-made to match the individual’s skin tone and size. They may be designed to fit over a residual limb or to attach directly to the body using adhesive or suction.
This type of prosthesis is intended for users who prioritize the esthetic appearance of the prosthesis and accept that it will have more limited functional capabilities (supporting objects, holding a bag, etc.).
Cosmetic prostheses are available for users who have had different types of amputation: arm, forearm, hand, fingers, foot. This flexible prosthesis is primarily made of silicone.
Some prostheses are covered with a removable cosmetic glove, in which case the user can select a darker colored glove to match a darker skin color.
Cosmetic prostheses can provide a range of benefits, including:
- Improved self-esteem: Wearing a cosmetic prosthesis can help improve the wearer's self-image and confidence, particularly for those who have experienced trauma or loss of a body part.
- Restored symmetry: A cosmetic prosthesis can help restore balance and symmetry to the body, particularly for those who have lost a limb or breast due to cancer or other medical conditions.
- Protection: A cosmetic prosthesis can provide protection to the residual limb or tissue, reducing the risk of injury or infection.
While cosmetic prostheses are primarily used for aesthetic purposes, they may also have some functional benefits, such as providing some support or improving the distribution of weight. However, it is important to note that they are not designed to replace the function of a missing body part.
There are many different esthetic finishes available and users looking for an even more realistic look can order a cosmetic prosthesis made from a reverse mold of their opposite limb that creates a perfect replica. Some prostheses may be customized to match the user’s pigmentation, with realistic veins and even moles. Biomotion is a trusted cosmetic silicone manufacturer and supplier in Delhi and Delhi NCR.
The user must provide day-to-day care of the prosthesis in accordance with the instructions for use provided by the prosthetist. The user should arrange to see a prosthetist once a year for a general review and for servicing and maintaining the prosthesis. If users have any questions about the device they should not hesitate to contact their prosthetist or physician.
