23.01.2022 Love is a beautiful thing. We had the pleasure of delivering a prosthetic nose to one of these delightful souls today. Wishing them both well for the onward journey.

23.01.2022 Thanks for including our video, wonderful client who has been a great advocate for all needing a prosthesis. Posted @withregram @walterspohntrust Watch this video "About Facial Prosthetics for Head & Neck Cancer Patients" created by Beyond Five ( @beyondfiveorg ) featuring anaplastologist Sophie Fleming ( @prostheticarttechnology ). Head & Neck Cancer, as well as skin cancer, are common etiologies for facial prosthetic treatment. A facial prosthesis is alternative means to ...restoring the affected anatomy when reconstructive survey is not possible or preferred by the patient. This video offers a glimpse of the anaplastology services available to patients who have suffered the loss of anatomy due to cancer. https://www.beyondfive.org.au/life-after/facial-prosthetics #anaplastologyawarenessmonth #anaplastology #facialprosthetics #headandneckcancer #silicone #siliconeprosthesis #nose #ear #eye #anatomy #restoration #prosthetics #australia #beyondfive See more

22.01.2022 Friday deliveries @chris_obrien_lifehouse prosthetics clinic today! So great to finish this ear just in time to help hold a mask in position, and a finger prostheses for this amputee - see if you can spot it

22.01.2022 Very cool to be part of this collaboration, watch this space as we develop and work together towards the prosthetics of the future. Posted @withregram @arc_aces All set up and ready for this afternoon’s online workshop on our Australia-India 3D printed ears collaboration with AMTZ, chaired by Gordon Wallace and Payal Mukherjee.

22.01.2022 Eyepatch be gone. Absolute pleasure to deliver this simple spectacle retained orbital prosthesis today at our Alstonville clinic.

19.01.2022 Great to be involved in this project. Very kind words from Dr @joedusseldorp who is among other things, doing some groundbreaking work in surgical ear reconstruction. This project is exploring how best to serve those needing reconstruction, with a broad and collaborative Multidisciplinary team and digital workflows at hand.

18.01.2022 Love working with such great prosthetic and orthotic teams around the country, thanks @momentumsportsrehab Posted @withregram @momentumsportsrehab This months amazing device features an incredible high-definition silicone finger prosthesis, manufactured for a client of our service by the very talented Sophie at @prostheticarttechnology ! Can you spot the difference? #fingerprosthesis #siliconefinger #polife

12.01.2022 Looking forward to presenting on our simple 3D print workflow for partial and full silicone hand prostheses next week @AOPA_News congress #AOPAtogether Posted @withregram @aopa_news The #AOPAtogether Program has now been released!

12.01.2022 Posted @withregram @walterspohntrust anaplastology What is an-a-plast-ol-o-gy? Anaplastology is a specialized healthcare field focused on providing custom, restorative prostheses for patients who are missing part of their face or body due to cancer, traumatic injury, and congenital differences. Customized prosthetic rehabilitation serves as an alternative treatment option when surgical reconstruction is unachievable or undesired by the patient. Anaplastology services ...typically include custom facial, breast, and partial hand and foot prostheses. The practice of anaplastology draws on advanced scientific data derived from research and best practices in biomedical sciences, dentistry, oncology, reconstructive surgery, materials science and engineering, applications of 3D modeling and printing, as well as artistic application of color theory, painting, sculpting, and mold fabrication.

07.01.2022 Last weeks finger prosthesis deliveries. No prosthesis is ever the same, such small devices and yet the variety is endless and figuring out each persons unique needs to make the prosthesis work is part of the joy of providing these.

03.01.2022 Welcome! Today was a nice slow day prepping for our Brisbane clinic on Monday but also giving some love to the reception and clinic space. Though you might like a look?So lucky to have this space to make our clients feel comfortable in this historic building in the small Northern NSW village of Alstonville- The old Tintenbar Council chambers. We are nestled in the Lennox hinterland not far from Ballina/Byron. Thanks to @b.grounded for our new plant haul today and finally got the new wall paper up in the consult room. We missed the rolling hills views from our old space @northernprosthetics so the walls are plastered with dreamy landscapes to help people feel relaxed. Come say

03.01.2022 Posted @withregram @walterspohntrust Process: Making an Orbital Prosthesis An orbital prosthesis restores the eyeball and eyelids, and sometimes includes the eyebrow and part of the forehead, nose, or cheek. The ocular, or eyeball portion, of the prosthesis is made out of acrylic and is custom made and hand-painted to match the patient’s intact eye color, shape, and detail. The eyelids and surrounding tissue are made out of silicone and fully encase the ocular so that the ...two parts are inserted and removed in one piece by the patient. An orbital prosthesis does not blink or move with the intact eye, but it does restore symmetry and absent anatomy. After the custom ocular component has been fabricated, the anaplastologist works on finding the correct location for the ocular in the eye socket. This involves evaluating height, depth, and angle to determine a symmetrical position for the ocular. Correct ocular position is fundamental to a successful orbital prosthesis. Once ocular position has been verified on the patient, the eyelids and other surrounding tissue are sculpted in wax. The sculpture is tried on the patient repeatedly as the anaplastologist works to capture the character and personality of the patient’s expression and anatomy. The sculpting appointment is a collaborative process with great care and attention paid to the patient’s feedback and observations. The wax sculpture is finalized with the addition of texture and surface detail, and the mold is made by melting the wax away. Pigmented silicone that has been mixed to match the patient’s unique complexion is painted into the mold and the prosthesis is cured. The final silicone prosthesis is tried on the patient, external color details are added, and in some cases eyelashes are inserted for a natural look. The patient is given instructions for donning and doffing the prosthesis and daily care. Patients return to their anaplastologist for periodic replacements and maintenance. #anaplastologyawarenessmonth #anaplastology #prostheticeye #eyeprosthesis #ocular #silicone #anatomicalart

01.01.2022 Posted @withregram @walterspohntrust #Repost @oxenfree_prosthetics How is a prosthesis made? In general, facial and somatic (body) prostheses are created by reproducing a three-dimensional model of the absent anatomy by one or a combination of methods, such as traditional sculpting, virtual sculpting, computer-aided design, and generating a 3D-printed prototype. Careful observation is used to reproduce accurate anatomical form and surface textures. The anaplastologist a...lso employs color matching techniques to mimic those found in the patient's skin. A mold is created based on the prosthesis sculpture, and pigmented silicone is carefully applied to the mold according to a customized color pattern that will yield a highly realistic similarity to that of the patient's skin coloration. The resulting silicone prosthesis should appear to blend with the patient's tissue surface and restore the absent or disfigured anatomy. How is it held on? Prostheses are not permanently attached to the patient. Prostheses may be retained using medical-grade adhesives (glues), or by attaching to osseointegrated ("bone-anchored") implants. These implants are small titanium screws fixed within bone. Implant-retained prostheses use clips or magnets disguised within the prosthesis to provide reliable placement and retention. In most particle hand/foot cases, and some facial cases, the remaining contours of the patients tissue surface will allow for anatomical retention of a prosthesis, and the prosthesis is designed so that it can be held in place by mechanically engaging with the remaining anatomy, requiring no additional adhesive or implants. The ideal retention method is dependent on each patient's specific circumstance and needs. #Repost @oxenfree_prosthetics Making An Ear Prosthesis - An outline of the various stages of the process, illustrating the implants / structure in position on the patient, 3D print, wax model (with texture), and the final silicone prosthesis.
