Hi List,
I have a patient who was in a car accident years ago and underwent a number of surgeries to salvage her limb. She is now left with a pretty large invagination in the side of her leg. This patient is looking for something to help “fill out her pants” so she can wear something like skinny jeans without having, in her words, “a giant gaping hole in her pants.” Anyone know of a company that does anything like this? I’m imagining a custom gel sleeve of sorts that she can roll up that will fill in the contours of the invaginations and create a smooth transition. Cost isn’t a variable at this point - just looking for some suggestions.
Thanks!
