Custom silicone toe prostheses in Calgary

Lifelike toe prostheses for Calgary patients

BioDigit clinicians in Calgary provide custom silicone toe prostheses for people who have lost a toe, or part of a toe, through trauma, surgery, infection, frostbite or a diabetes-related amputation. Each device is individually sculpted and matched to your own skin tone and nail detail, so your foot reads as whole again, barefoot, in sandals, at the pool and in everyday life.

A toe prosthesis is about more than appearance. Filling the empty space in your shoe can improve how footwear fits and wears, and a well-made silicone toe can help neighbouring toes keep their natural spacing rather than drifting into the gap. For big toe loss, a prosthesis restores the visual balance of the foot that people notice most.

What a custom silicone toe can help with

• A natural-looking foot, barefoot and in open footwear
• Better shoe fit, with the toe box filled so shoes stop creasing and collapsing
• Maintaining the spacing of the remaining toes
• Protecting a sensitive residual toe from knocks and friction

What to expect

• An assessment with a registered clinician in Calgary who works with BioDigit devices
• Impression and measurement of your foot, and colour matching including nail detail
• A custom silicone toe manufactured to that specification and quality-checked
• Fitting, sign-off against a standard, and aftercare

Funding in Canada

In Canada, provincial assistive-devices programs differ from province to province, and many extended health benefit plans contribute towards custom prostheses. Your clinician can help you understand what applies where you live.

Common questions

How do I get a prosthetic toe in Calgary?

Start with a registered BioDigit clinician in Calgary. They assess your foot, take an impression and colour match, and fit the finished custom silicone toe in person, with aftercare included.

Will a prosthetic toe help my shoes fit better?

Often, yes. A custom silicone toe fills the space left in the toe box, which can stop shoes creasing and collapsing at the front and can help neighbouring toes keep their position.

Does a prosthetic toe look realistic?

A custom silicone toe is individually sculpted and colour-matched to your own foot, including nail detail, so it is designed to blend in barefoot, in sandals and at the pool.
