Cosmetic Prosthetics

High-definition custom-made silicone cosmetic covers are readily available for upper- and lower artificial limbs.

Cosmetics have advanced to the point where it is frequently tough to know by merely looking that a hand, arm or different types of prosthetic legs are not "genuine." The more recent covers are made from urethanes and silicones, while older designs are typically a kind of vinyl.

Fingers and toes are based on an impression of the person’s sound limb so that the proportions are the same. They can have acrylic nails; total with half-moons at the base and white tips. Details such as veins, freckles, hairs are typical with today's cosmetic covers.
