FAQs
Take a look at our Frequently Asked Questions for more information.
-
How do I order a Custom silicone prosthesis?
You can contact your prosthetist for more information, or contact us directly
-
Is there a trial device to ensure fit?
Yes, to ensure the desired outcome is achieved, a trial device is fabricated and worn by you for a period of two weeks on a daily basis. Any necessary changes will be made during this phase to ensure that the needs and expectations of you and your prosthetist are met. The final product is then crafted.
-
Are there special cleaning instructions?
For daily cleaning, the prosthesis can be cleaned with mild soap and water. For getting rid of insistent dirt you can occasionally boil the silicone prosthesis in water with a drop of mild soap for 10-15 minutes. For further details, please refer to page 18 in the Care and Cleaning Instructions brochure found in the Downloads tab.
-
Will the prosthesis match skin color exactly?
Every attempt is made to match your skin color as closely as possible. However, it is very helpful to understand that human skin is ever changing. It is greatly influenced by environmental effects such as sunlight. Skin tone naturally changes when you’re nervous or excited. The silicone material used is not living; therefore, it will not change with natural skin color fluctuations.
-
How long will the hand/finger prosthesis last?
Ottobock silicone has a very specific structure that makes our silicone very durable.
The lifetime of the prosthesis will vary greatly depending on your activity level. The pigment color is intrinsic, so you don’t have to worry about color fading or wearing off. They are all under warranty for one year under normal usage against manufacturer defects.
