1.  Character

A prosthesis should be similar in character to the existing fingers.  Look closely at your real skin:  the precise shape to each finger, the lines under each knuckle, and the way that fingerprints go all the way down (not just the tips).  Fingernails should be natural to the individual.

2.  Color

A finger usually has color variation throughout its length.  Whether this means a rosier color tone towards the tips, or a blotchy look to the palm-side skin, each finger is detailed and unique.  Look for a prosthesis that is designed to identify and imitate these details.

3.  Fit

To best fit the residual limb, a prosthesis should be custom made.  The inside of the prosthesis will be created to fit directly onto a specific and individual residuum.  This will help the prosthesis stay on properly, and will also protect the flesh underneath even as it helps to restore the finger’s function.

4.  Durability

Prostheses made with inexpensive silicone will tear and quickly be rendered useless.  Prostheses created out of medical grade silicone are stronger, and prevent the skin from becoming irritated.  This also allows the prosthesis to be stable in shape and size.

Details Matter.

…Dermatos® prostheses by Alatheia boast top-of-the-line results for each of the four categories listed above.

• Character:  Custom sculpting gives each prosthesis elements of character that help it to “blend          in”.  Crafted fingernails give each finger its “signature.”

A client’s greatest desire is to be complete or whole again. The loss of an upper extremity such as a finger or hand may have severe physical and emotional consequences for an individual. It is a serious threat to the individual’s core identity. Fingers and hands are often the only exposed part of the body besides the face. Unfortunately, many individuals with amputations steer clear of public places, intimate relationships, and chronically hide their residual limb or even avoid employment opportunities due to their condition.

There are many choices today in prosthetic rehabilitation. Studies have shown that professional health care providers have a different perspective regarding function, comfort, and aesthetics than that of the patient. In our experience, talking with thousands of amputees and professionals, we have found this to be accurate.

Our prosthetics are specially created for each finger amputee, as they are custom designed and formulated out of our high-strength hypoallergenic medical grade silicone. Made by Alatheia Prosthetics, each Dermatos^® prosthesis is meticulously sized and sculpted right down to the fingerprints, skin pores and fingernails. Dermatos^® nails are extremely durable and may even be painted and treated like real nails.
