Many amputees are happy with their prosthesis, but wish to change its appearance. Dermatos® can be created to fit over most prosthetic devices while never changing the inner socket. In addition to the unparalleled realism one receives with dermatos®, it lasts years longer then the standard shiny vinyl skins (as well as other silicone skins), and is color safe, and incredibly stain resistant.

Many prosthesis wearers find using myoelectric and body powered prosthetic devices very helpful when prehension (grasp) is needed. However many of these wearers are not happy with the appearance of their prosthesis. In addition to not looking real, active prosthesis wearers are also unsatisfied with the very short life-span of the vinyl skin covers that are used to cover their prosthetic devices. (Did you know that vinyl skin permanently stains just by holding a newspaper!) With our dermatos® covers these amputees can enjoy the longest life-span of any protective skin cover available. (See "dermatos® profile" for more information on our skin strength.) Dermatos® is virtually stain-proof! Inks from newspapers, pens and pencils just wash off. In fact dermatos® can have direct contact with flames with out being damaged or stained!
