Listers-
Due to insurance noncoverage, we don't see many cosmetic fingertip
prosthetics these days, at least not in my rural, little town. I haven't
made one in many years. I'd like feedback on companies only if you've used
them within the last year or so. Quality can change quickly, so I'm looking
for RECENT usage feedback and company suggestions. Because this will be
cosmetic only, color matching will be very important. She MAY consider
traveling to have the color customized, which is at least how this used to
be done years ago. She currently has a 10 year old silicone device that has
turned slightly orange and stained. Suggestions for how to clean these or
perhaps a company who might be able to restore or custom paint this older
finger prosthesis?
