Ear (Auricular) Prosthesis
An auricular prosthesis restores missing ear structures and surrounding soft tissue resulting from congenital conditions, surgery, cancer, trauma, or burns. A custom-made ear prosthesis is a safe and effective option when surgical reconstruction is not recommended, has been unsuccessful, or is being postponed.
Function
In addition to restoring natural appearance, an ear prosthesis can help guide sound into the ear canal, support sensitive tissues, and may improve hearing by up to 20 percent. It can also provide support for eyeglasses when needed.
Methods of Retention
Ear prostheses may be retained using:
Medical-grade adhesives
Bone-anchored implants
Natural anatomical support
Attachment to eyeglasses
Nasal (Nose) Prosthesis
A nasal prosthesis restores missing or altered nasal tissue caused by congenital conditions, surgery, cancer, trauma, or burns. It is a safe and effective alternative when surgical reconstruction is not recommended, has failed, or is delayed. In some cases, it may be used temporarily while awaiting further surgical treatment.
Function
A nasal prosthesis restores natural facial appearance while protecting delicate tissues. It supports eyeglasses and helps direct airflow through the nasal passages, aiding proper moisture balance for breathing, sinus health, and speech.
Methods of Retention
Nasal prostheses may be retained using:
Medical-grade adhesives
Bone-anchored implants
Natural anatomical support
Attachment to eyeglasses

Orbital Prosthesis
An orbital prosthesis restores the appearance of the eye, eyelids, and surrounding facial tissues lost due to disease, surgery, or trauma. It helps re-establish facial symmetry and protects sensitive tissues, while also supporting moisture balance in the orbital and sinus areas.
Function
Following orbital exenteration, a custom orbital prosthesis replaces missing structures and restores a natural appearance. The prosthesis includes a durable acrylic artificial eye, often referred to as a “glass eye.”
Methods of Retention
Orbital prostheses may be retained using:
Medical-grade adhesives
Bone-anchored implants
Natural anatomical support
Attachment to eyeglasses

Somatic Prostheses (Finger and Toe)
Finger and toe prostheses restore part or all of a missing digit and are custom-made to closely match color, shape, texture, and fit. Most include acrylic nails and are held in place using a gentle suction fit, without the need for surgery. These prostheses are often recommended by hand surgeons or therapists.
Function
Somatic prostheses restore symmetry and protect sensitive areas. When some movement remains, they may support daily activities such as typing, writing, holding utensils, or grasping objects. Many patients also experience meaningful emotional benefits, including increased confidence and ease in everyday life.

Ocular (Artificial Eye) Prosthesis
An ocular prosthesis is a non-functional replacement for an eye lost due to trauma, disease, or other causes. While it does not restore vision, it provides a natural appearance, restores facial symmetry, and helps rebuild self-confidence.
Function
Each prosthetic eye is custom-made to match the color, size, and shape of the natural eye, making it difficult to distinguish from the real eye.
When a Prosthetic Eye Is Needed
A prosthetic eye may be recommended when an eye is damaged, diseased, or causing pain and cannot be saved. Eye removal followed by a prosthetic eye can relieve discomfort, restore natural appearance, and support emotional well-being.
