A Custom Prosthetic Toe to Trinidad!
“Hello…Received the package today.
It is perfect!!!! My sincerest thank you, this goes beyond just a “toe”, it really does make a difference. I have a question regarding the nail, can i polish it? Also, what kind of adhesive can I use.
With gratitude and wishing you and your families a Merry and Holy Christmas.

Here is how this all happened. Medical Art Prosthetics receives the initial inquiry through the MAP website from a woman, “Camille”, in Trinidad who lost her big toe to a traumatic event. She cannot travel to our Tampa location due to a bad fall and must have her foot appearance restored to feel balanced and normal again. So, we sent off a kit hoping we could get enough accurate information to create her a toe prosthesis with a good fit and satisfactory coloration. We always indicate that coloration is always best when we work directly with our clients in one of our locations across the USA.
After a few mailings back and forth Camille finally got her durable lifelike silicone toe…without ever leaving her home in Trinidad. And we were very happy with the coloration achieved by using the custom color swatches that we send to the patient. Camille also gets a lot of credit for taking excellent color photos of our swatches next to her toes.
The series demonstrates a “Distance Program” to provide our anaplastolgy services worldwide. However, our main goal is to educate patients and physicians about our services and then direct patients to one-on-one treatment with an anaplastologist in one of our USA locations to get the absolute fastest but also the best results. Their is simply no technological substitute for individualized artistically rendered prostheses. We still welcome all opportunities to help in lower extremity rehabilitation.

The Prosthetic Toes Process
We make the process of creating your toe prosthesis personal, comfortable, and efficient.
Many single-toe prostheses can be created in as little as 2 or 3 days for patients who stay nearby for fittings.
We first record causes of amputation (trauma, infection, circulation, congenital anomaly, etc.) and discuss goals and activities of daily living (ADLs). We make sure the affected toe is well healed and ready for prosthetic restoration.
After a review of our process we then get started with simple silicone impressions of the affected and unaffected toes. We always use the best materials for maximum accuracy and comfort. After just 2-3 minutes the rubbery impression slides right off.
We try a wax prototype in place to verify the general fit and the accuracy of all dimensions. As we refine the wax sculpture our client can see the progress and is encouraged to request any preferred adjustments.
Often in the same fitting session we place our unique silicone color swatches on the foot to record the color array for calibration and formulation in our laboratory. Skin color is dynamic, changing with blood flow, temperature, etc., and we know how to formulate colors for maximum consistency in matching.
The durable silicone toe prosthesis is positioned so the fit can be verified and adjusted if necessary and any final color details can be added.
The prosthesis is removed and taken to the laboratory for the final surface treatments, texturing, and sealing.
When the prosthesis is fully cured the patient is provided plenty of time to try it out. There are a few dos and don’ts when it comes to daily doffing and donning of any silicone device, so we provide all the guidance that is necessary for long term successful wear.
With the toe prosthesis securely in place, the patient can put on her favorite footwear and wear her prosthesis home.
