My old facility in Canada had a whole department dedicated to this type of
prosthetic. Loretta is the young lady who works in the Restoritive
prosthetics department in the Cancer Certer of Sunnybrook and Women's
College Heath sciences Center in Toronto, Ontario. the number for the
campus
is (416) 480-4040 you'll have to ask for the department and it may take a
while to get there but it's worth it. The two main people in the
department
stuided under Pele who is a french prosthetist/artist famous for his hand
reconsruction prosthesis. If you have a hard time finding them at the
first
number call Sunnybrook Center for Independent Living's Prosthetic
department
at (416)480-4261 and they should be able to help you contact the
Restoritive
prosthetic department in the cancer center. If you have any other
questions
please call me.

Our facility uses acomputerized and patented technique to make high grade
silicone prostheses for finger, multiple finger and partial hand
amputees.
The real differences are twofold: the proprietary silicane we use is very
thin and stretches over 800X its thickness so it is virtually tear proof,
and
the hand are all hand painted by a professional artist with the patient
at
his/her side as a live model. The painting process is such that the color
is
not on the prosthesis but in it and therefore not subject to fading
or
ultraviolet degradation. The prostheses last from 5 to 7 years depending
on
care. If you would like more information please respond to this address.
Our
location is in Chattanooga, Tennessee. Thanks for your inquiry.

Jim Rogers, CPO



Hi. I am the Director of Prosthetics & Orthotics at Duke University
Medical
Center. We have a facial/digital prosthetist that is quite an artist.
She does
suction suspension silicone injection molded digital prostheses and
partial hand
prostheses that have positional joints in the fingers. She has received
a lot
of national and international press over the last two years. If you are
interested, I can provide her phone number and/or email address. Her
cosmetics
and color matching are outstanding. We are located in Durham, North
Carolina.

I haven't done any cosmetic restoration of fingers but I have met several
people who do them. One of them is based in Thailand. the name is Ottobock
south east Asia ( silicon House).The person to contact is Praveen
Chancharoen( General Manager); email is <Email Address Redacted>

You can also try on the internet. Just search under headings of silicon,
prosthetics and in some cases Upper_limb. I believe that there are several
in UK which over very customised cosmetic restoration ( even finger hairs
and finger prints).
Hope this helps, if I can find out more, I will email you more
