When creating realistic silicone prosthetics for patients who originally had naturally hairy legs we sometimes request a bag of hair shavings, from their other leg that’s still intact or we use synthetic hair. These hair strands are placed one by one over the silicone and cured to stay in place! ✨

Today is a silicone feet heavy day! Here is a photo showing the beginning stages of making a silicone foot for a partial foot client. This is used to assist with walking and providing more comfort and stability. Making the feet more realistic looking helps to bring confidence back to the patient aswell🩷

Some of the high definition silicone my Team have made ! A foot takes an average of 8 weeks to create. The silicone is layered to create depth. Toes nails can be made from silicone or acrylic.
