Silicone Prosthesis in India
Limbgenixx makes custom silicone prostheses for the hand, fingers, foot, toes, ear, eye socket and chest. Each one is made for a single person — taken from an impression, sculpted by hand, and coloured against that person’s own skin in daylight. Nothing here is off the shelf, and nothing here comes in sizes.
Every photograph on this page and the pages below it is of work made at our own centres, including the side-by-side comparison shots where the restoration is held against the wearer’s sound hand or foot. We have shown those deliberately. They are the honest view of what this work achieves.
There are twenty pieces in the range below, in six groups. If you are not sure which applies to you, message us on WhatsApp with a photograph and we will tell you.
What a silicone prosthesis will and will not do. It restores shape and appearance, and it does that extremely well at conversational distance. It gives you a stable surface to hold things against, to pinch light objects with and to steady a plate or a phone. What it does not do is move by itself or grip actively — these are passive restorations. An ear prosthesis does not restore hearing and an orbital prosthesis does not restore sight. A silicone foot is for appearance and shoe fit, not for walking on. If you need active grip or a limb to bear weight, that is a different device: see artificial hands and upper-limb prosthetics or prosthetic legs.
How a Silicone Prosthesis Is Made
Five stages, and the time is almost all in the middle three. The reason this work cannot be done by post is stage four: the colour has to be matched against living skin, with the wearer in the room.
- Assessment. We look at the site, check it is fully healed, and work out what can realistically be restored and how it would be held on. Bring the footwear, spectacles, bra or jewellery you intend to use it with — they change the answer.
- Impression. An impression is taken of the residual part and, where there is one, of the matching limb on the other side. That sound side is the pattern everything else is measured against.
- Sculpting. The shape is built and worked by hand — knuckle creases, nail beds, the step-down in length across fingers or toes, the way a lobe hangs. This is the slow part.
- Colour matching. Done with the wearer present, in daylight, against their own skin. The colour is built up in layers rather than mixed to a single shade, because skin is not one colour. Hair, where it is needed, is implanted strand by strand.
- Fitting and review. The device is fitted, the edges are adjusted so the join does not show or catch, and you are shown how to put it on, take it off and look after it.
The Full Silicone Range
Every piece in the range, in one grid. Each card links through to that item’s full description and specification on its category page, and the WhatsApp button sends the item name and code with your message.
A full hand and forearm cover with hair implanted across the forearm and the back of the hand, for a below-elbow fitting.
A hand prosthesis photographed beside the wearer’s own hand — the comparison shot we take at the colour-matching stage.
A partial hand restoration shaped around a preserved thumb, so the wearer’s own thumb stays free to work.
A two-finger partial hand restoration with nail beds and knuckle creases formed into the silicone.
The same partial hand shown from three angles — cuff, thumb opening and profile.
Four finished finger prostheses, showing the nail beds, the knuckle creases and the fine skin texture.
Three frames from a finger fitting: the hand, the finished finger beside it, and the finger worn.
A two-digit restoration made as one piece, so the fingers sit at the right spacing.
A finger prosthesis whose nail takes polish, matched here to the red on the wearer’s own nails.
A silicone hand carrying a full mehndi design, made so the bride’s hands match on the day.
The same style shown on the fixture, with the dense circular palm motif and darkened fingertips.
A longer restoration carrying the design all the way from the wrist cuff to the fingertips.
A single finger carrying a lattice mehndi pattern and a darkened tip, to match a decorated hand.
Silicone ears, built with the helix, antihelix and lobe formed individually for each wearer.
An orbital restoration — eye, lids, lashes and brow built into one skin-toned piece.
A pair of silicone feet with formed toes and nails, shown beside the wearer’s own feet.
The same style with hair implanted across the top of the foot and the toes.
A forefoot restoration that rebuilds the big toe and the front of the foot.
A big toe restoration shown between the affected foot and the sound one.
An external breast form with a formed nipple and areola, worn in a bra — not an implant.
Where Silicone Prostheses Are Made and Fitted
A silicone prosthesis is matched to one person’s own skin, so the colour work has to be done with that person in the room. Limbgenixx has four centres in India, and silicone prostheses can be started at any of them.

Frequently Asked Questions
A silicone prosthesis is a restoration made from medical-grade silicone that replaces the shape and appearance of a part of the body that has been lost — a finger, a hand, a toe, a foot, an ear, an eye socket or a breast. It is made for one person, from an impression, and coloured to match that person’s own skin. It is worn on the outside of the body and taken off; nothing is placed inside.
It is a passive restoration. It restores shape and appearance, and it gives you a stable surface to pinch against, to steady objects with and to hold things between. It does not open and close by itself and it does not provide an active grip. If active grip is what you need, that is a myoelectric or body-powered prosthesis, which is a different device.
At ordinary conversational distance a well-matched silicone restoration is usually not noticed. Close up and in strong direct light the texture is smoother and the tone slightly flatter than living skin — that is true of every silicone restoration made anywhere. The photographs on these pages are our own work, including the side-by-side comparison shots, so you can judge it for yourself.
It depends entirely on what is being made. A single finger and a full hand and forearm with implanted hair are very different pieces of work. We quote after an assessment rather than from a list, because a number given before anyone has seen the case would be guesswork. Message us on WhatsApp with photographs and we will tell you what is involved.
It varies with what is being made and how much colour and hair work is involved, and it is not something to give a general figure for. Ask the centre at your assessment and you will be given a timeline for your own case. If you are working to a date — a wedding in particular — say so at the first conversation rather than later.
Limbgenixx makes and fits silicone prostheses at four centres: Gwalior and Indore in Madhya Pradesh, Navi Mumbai in Maharashtra, and Dharamshala in Himachal Pradesh. Patients travel to us from across India. Because the colour has to be matched against your own skin in person, this is not work that can be done entirely at a distance, but we can tell you a great deal from photographs before you travel.
Yes — patients come to our centres from across India. Send photographs on WhatsApp first. We will tell you what can be judged from them, roughly how many visits your case is likely to need and what to plan for, so you are not travelling blind. See patients across India.
Wash it with mild soap and water and dry it before wearing. The one thing that ruins silicone restorations early is staining: ballpoint ink, newsprint, strong dyes and dark nail polish left to dry on the surface all stain permanently. Wipe spills off rather than letting them sit, and use an acetone-free remover on the nails.
