Has anyone had experience where proflex inner socket is stretching out of
the frame within a month? It's happened to only one patient of mine twice
consecutively now. Patient denies having the prosthesis near any
significant amount of heat and only uses unscented alcohol for donning and
cleaning. Patient also reports that there is a thin coat of oily substance
on the proflex socket every morning even though he cleans it every night
with alcohol.
I plan to go ahead and build the next socket with a different material but
would like to get an explanation on why this is happening.
