Silicone Finger Prosthesis
A silicone finger prosthesis is a custom-made finger that restores the shape, skin tone and nail of a finger lost to an accident, surgery or a congenital difference. At Silobionic in Seoul, we make them for anything from a single fingertip to all four fingers, moulded from your own hand.

Who it is for
Who it suits
- A fingertip, one segment or a whole finger has been lost, and reattachment was not possible
- Several fingers are missing, or years have passed since the amputation
- A finger is short from birth (brachydactyly) or bent by contracture
- Appearance matters most to you — at work, at events and in photos
A silicone finger prosthesis is mainly about appearance and feeling at ease; how much it helps with grip is limited, and it does not bend on its own. If you have lost a whole finger and need grip, we can also discuss a 3D titanium functional finger (Point Designs, USA).
How it is made
Made for you, step by step
Typically three visits and about 4–6 weeks from consultation to delivery. A rapid option of 1–2 weeks may be possible, depending on your case.
01
Casting & skin-tone measurement
We take a mould of your affected area and your other side, scan in 3D, and measure your skin tone with E-SKIN digital skin-tone matching (SPECTROMATCH, UK).
02
Check-socket fitting
You try a check socket (a trial socket) so we can confirm fit, length and shape before the final piece is made.
03
Delivery
Colour and details are finished by hand, and we fit the finished prosthesis with you and explain how to care for it.
The prosthesis is held on by suction against your finger. If what remains of the finger is very short, suction alone may not be enough, and we explain the options after seeing it.

Cost
What decides the cost?
We do not publish prices, because every prosthesis is made for one person. What it costs depends on:
- How many fingers, and which segments, are missing
- How what remains is shaped, and how the prosthesis is held on
- Colour and detail work, such as nails and skin texture
- Whether you need the rapid option
Send us photos and we will give you a personalised quotation before you book any travel.
Care & lifespan
Living with your prosthesis
- Wash it with a mild detergent after use and let it dry fully.
- Put it on and take it off gently — never force it. We show you how at delivery.
- Silicone and its colour change gradually with use, moisture, heat and sunlight, so every silicone prosthesis eventually needs replacing. There is no set number of years: it depends on how often you wear it, how you care for it and your environment.
- We provide after-sales support while you use it. If a repair is not possible, we guide you through a remake — your production records are kept, so a remake does not start from zero.

- With the rapid option, some prostheses can be completed within a 1–2 week stay.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
QCan a fake finger look like a real one?
AA silicone finger prosthesis is shaped from a mould of your own hand, with the nail and skin tone matched by E-SKIN measurement, so it is designed to look natural even up close. Results vary from person to person.
QHow is a silicone finger prosthesis held on?
AIt is held on by suction against what remains of your finger, so no straps are needed. If the remaining part is very short, suction alone may not hold it, and we explain the alternatives after seeing your hand.
QCan I use my hand normally with a finger prosthesis?
AIts main purpose is appearance. It does not bend on its own, and how much it helps with grip is limited. If you need grip after losing a whole finger, a 3D titanium functional finger may be worth discussing.
QCan I get a finger prosthesis years after the amputation?
AYes. We make it to fit what remains now, whether the amputation was recent or many years ago. It is started once the wound has healed and swelling has settled.
QHow long does it take?
ATypically three visits and about 4–6 weeks from consultation to delivery. A rapid option of 1–2 weeks may be possible, depending on your case.
QHow much does a silicone finger prosthesis cost?
AWe do not publish prices, because each one is made for one person. The cost depends on how many fingers and segments are missing and the colour and detail work. Send us photos for a personalised quotation.
