Prosthetic fingers are typically attached using suction.
Here's a breakdown:
- Material: Prosthetic fingers are often crafted from silicone, with the fingernail usually made from acrylic in various color combinations.
- Attachment Method: According to our reference, most prosthetic fingers are "suspended by means of suction created between the prosthesis and the residual finger stump." This means a snug fit is created against the remaining part of the finger, creating a vacuum-like seal.
In summary, suction is the primary method for attaching many prosthetic fingers.
