Silicone partial foot prosthesis

Modern fitting solution for forefoot amputation

Walk safely

A silicone forefoot prosthesis replaces the amputated part of a foot. It can be worn when the ankle joint is fully retained following an amputation. Silicone partial foot prostheses make a largely natural gait pattern possible. Affected individuals can wear standard shoes again, walk barefoot and master everyday life without excessive limitations.

Individual socket design

The custom and anatomical design of the socket provides a perfect fit, even pressure distribution and compression of the residual limb.

Natural image

The appearance of the forefoot prosthesis is adapted to the actual skin colour. Up to 8 colours are coordinated with each other. Even the pigmentation, blood vessel structure and hair are precisely replicated.

Perfect details

The toenails are modelled in detail to create a natural appearance. They can also be painted if desired.

Custom shape

The shape of the toes and individual appearance of the sound foot are replicated down to the details.

Each fitting is highly individual. Contact us for a free personal consultation.

Functionality

Gait pattern

Many affected individuals value silicone forefoot prostheses as an ideal solution for various everyday situations.

At the pool or in the shower, barefoot or with standard shoes – a natural rollover of the foot is possible again. Next to the inconspicuous gait pattern, users benefit from greater freedom of movement. They are able to walk comfortably, stand safely and move their foot freely. Longer distances can be covered, even on rough terrain.

Care instructions

The chosen high-grade silicone materials cover all important characteristics for an optimum fitting: functionality, aesthetics and comfort. Temperature and UV-resistance are just two of the advantages of silicone materials. Silicone prostheses are also easy to care for and very straightforward to clean. After use, they should be cleaned daily with water and pH-neutral soap on the outside. Permanent stains do not stand a chance if the care instructions are followed.

Silicone forefoot prostheses are made of HTV silicone (high-temperature vulcanisation silicone). The material withstands temperatures of up to 200° C, which allows for easy and hygienic sterilisation of the prosthesis. The forefoot prosthesis is comfortable to put on and take off because the silicone material is elastic. The user slips the residual limb into the prosthesis as far as possible and pulls the silicone socket over the heel. We recommend using Ottobock ProComfort gel (633S2) to make putting on the prosthesis easier.
