手指エピテーゼ
Ivy Creation LabFinger Prosthesis
大寒波で大雪の影響が気になるここ数日ですが、大阪でも時折雪が舞っています。
今週末は息子の高校受験があり、雪の影響で交通が乱れないかと心配ばかりしています。
昨年は上の子の受験でしたが、数日前にインフルエンザにかかり、慌ただしく過ごしていました。
今年は無事に終わることを祈るばかりです。
さて、大阪店では、手指エピテーゼの製作をお受けできるように準備を進めていますので、今日は少し紹介させて頂きます。
1. 手指エピテーゼとは？
着色前の手指エピテーゼ
「エピテーゼ」とは、シリコン製のボディパーツで、事故や病気、先天性の理由で身体の一部を失った方のために作られています。
手指エピテーゼもその一つです。
シリコンで製作します。
機能を補う義手とは異なり、見た目を補うものとして作られるのがエピテーゼです。
2. まるで本物？オーダーメイドで製作
お一人お一人に合わせてオーダーメイドで製作します。
手の型を取らせて頂き、形を合わせるのはもちろん、肌の色や爪の形まで細かく再現していきます。
シリコン製で柔らかく、装着も簡単です。
3. 心まで軽くしてくれるエピテーゼ
人の目線が気になっていた方でも周囲に気づかれにくく安心して日常生活を送れるようになり、心まで軽くしてくれるのがエピテーゼの魅力です。
お仕事中に手元が気になる方、義手ではなくより自然な見た目を求める方などにも選ばれています。
4. 2025年春からのサービス開始に向けて
アイビークリエーションラボでは、2025年春から手指エピテーゼのサービスを開始する予定です。
技術力アップにご協力頂ける無料モニターも募集する予定です。ご興味がある方はお気軽にお問い合わせください。
Finger Prosthesis: A New Option for Restoring Confidence
The past few days have been marked by heavy snowfall due to an extreme cold wave, and even in Osaka, we've seen occasional flurries.
This weekend, my son will be taking his high school entrance exam, and I'm worried about possible transportation delays caused by the snow. Last year, my eldest had his entrance exams but caught the flu just days before, making it a chaotic time. I can only hope everything goes smoothly this year.
Meanwhile, at our Osaka store, we are preparing to offer custom-made finger prostheses, and I’d like to take this opportunity to introduce them.
1. What Is a Finger Prosthesis?

A prosthesis is a custom-made silicone body part designed for people who have lost a part of their body due to accidents, illness, or congenital conditions.
A finger prosthesis is one such solution, specifically for those missing fingers or parts of their hand.
Unlike functional prosthetic hands designed to restore movement, a finger prosthesis is primarily created to restore the natural appearance of the hand.
2. As Real as It Gets – Completely Custom-Made
Each finger prosthesis is tailor-made to match the individual’s hand.
We take an exact mold of the hand to ensure a perfect fit, meticulously replicating details like skin tone, veins, and even nail shape.
Made from soft, flexible silicone, it is comfortable to wear and easy to attach and remove.
3. More Than Looks – Restoring Confidence
One of the biggest advantages of a finger prosthesis is the emotional relief it provides.
Many people feel self-conscious about their hands, especially in social or professional settings. With a natural-looking prosthesis, they can go about their daily lives without drawing unwanted attention, making them feel more at ease.
This solution is ideal for those who need a more natural aesthetic rather than a mechanical prosthesis, including professionals who frequently interact with others.
4. Launching in Spring 2025 – Join as a Trial Participant
At Ivy Creation Lab, we plan to launch our finger prosthesis service in Spring 2025.
To further refine our techniques, we will also be recruiting free trial participants to assist in improving our craftsmanship. If you are interested, please feel free to reach out to us.
We look forward to helping more people regain their confidence and comfort with this innovative solution!
