Silicone Finger Prosthesis in India
A silicone finger prosthesis replaces the shape and appearance of a finger or part of a finger. It is the commonest thing we are asked for in this range, usually after a machine injury, a road accident or a crush injury at work.
Each one is taken from an impression and matched to the wearer’s other fingers — not just for colour, but for length, for the step-down in size across the hand, for the angle the nail sits at and for the pattern of creases across the knuckles. The nail takes ordinary polish, so it can be done along with the rest of the hand.
A finger restoration is passive. It gives you something to pinch and stabilise against and it restores the look of the hand; it does not bend by itself.

Silicone Finger Restorations
Four pieces, each made for one person and matched to the fingers either side of it.
Silicone Finger Prosthesis — Nail and Crease Detail
LX-SP-06
Four finished fingers, photographed together so the detail is visible. Each one has a formed nail bed with a nail set into it, creases across the knuckle joints, and fine skin texture along the length of the digit.
The nail is the detail people look at. A nail that sits proud of the finger, or at the wrong angle, is noticed immediately even when the colour is perfect — so the nail is set into the silicone at the angle the wearer’s own nails sit, not flat.
Specification
| Material | Medical-grade silicone |
|---|---|
| Made to | One person only — taken from an impression and matched to the sound side |
| Colour matching | Done in person at the centre, against the wearer’s own skin |
| Retention | Depends on the case — confirm with the centre |
| What it does | Restores the shape, length and appearance of a lost finger. Passive — it gives a surface to pinch and stabilise against rather than active movement. |
| Care | Mild soap and water, dried before wearing. Keep away from ballpoint ink, newsprint and strong dyes, which stain silicone permanently. |
| Fitted at | Gwalior, Navi Mumbai, Indore and Dharamshala |
| Price | Quoted after assessment — enquire on WhatsApp |
Points to know
- Nail shape, colour and angle are matched to the wearer’s other fingers.
- Nail polish can be worn, and can be removed with acetone-free remover.
- Acetone and strong solvents will damage the silicone — use an acetone-free remover only.
Silicone Finger Prosthesis — Compared With the Sound Hand
LX-SP-07
Three frames from one case. The first shows the hand as it is. The second shows the finished finger laid beside it for comparison. The third shows it worn, with rings on both hands.
The comparison frame is the honest one. It is where you can see that the tone is slightly warmer and the texture slightly smoother than living skin — which is true of every silicone restoration ever made. What it buys the wearer is that nobody looks twice in ordinary company.

Silicone Finger Prosthesis — Two Digit
LX-SP-08
Where two adjacent fingers are missing, they are usually made as one piece rather than two. A single piece holds the spacing and the relative lengths correctly, and there is one edge to hide instead of two.
The lengths are not equal. Fingers step down in a particular pattern on each person’s hand, and copying that pattern from the other hand is what stops a two-finger restoration looking like a glove.

Silicone Finger Prosthesis — Matched to Painted Nails
LX-SP-09
The nail on these fingers takes polish, so it can be done at the same time and in the same colour as the rest of the hand. In the second frame a cotton bud is held against the hand to show which finger is the prosthesis.
This comes up constantly with women and it is worth saying plainly: a restoration that cannot be painted along with the others draws attention to itself every time the rest of the hand is done. These can be.

Points to know
- Use an acetone-free remover. Acetone damages silicone.
- Dark polish and dyes can stain the silicone around the nail if left on the surface — wipe spills off rather than letting them dry.

Frequently Asked Questions
It depends on the digit, how much of it is missing and how much colour work the match needs. We quote after an assessment rather than from a list, because a figure given before anyone has seen the hand would be a guess. Send photographs on WhatsApp and we will tell you what is involved.
That depends on how much of the finger remains and on the shape of what is left. Suction over the residual digit, a snug sleeve and adhesive are all used, and in some cases a ring on a neighbouring finger helps. Which applies to you is decided at the assessment — ask the centre.
Yes. The nails take ordinary polish and are often painted along with the rest of the hand. Use an acetone-free remover, though — acetone damages silicone. Wipe spilled polish off the silicone itself rather than letting it dry, because dark colours can stain.
At ordinary conversational distance, usually not. Close up and in strong direct light, the texture is smoother and the tone slightly flatter than living skin. We have put side-by-side comparison photographs on this page rather than only finished shots, so you can judge that for yourself before you commit to anything.
Yes, and many people do. Bring the ring to the fitting so the finger is sized with it in mind.
Yes. An impression taken over a site that is still healing or still changing shape will produce a prosthesis that does not fit once things settle. If you are recently injured, message us anyway — we can tell you roughly when to come.
Not entirely. The colour match has to be made against your own skin, in person. But a great deal can be settled from photographs beforehand, and patients travel to our centres from across India. Send photographs on WhatsApp first so you know what to expect before you book travel.
