Hi colleagues,
I have a transtibial client who recently showed me a dual thicknes s stump sock which he says is very important for him to get the socket fit right. It looks like a cotton sock the whole way through, but is thinner in the distal half and thicker in the proximal half (see attached link to image). I have searched different manufacturers and distributors here in Australia, but I am struggling to track it down to source more for the client. Could anyone please help identify what this type of sock is, who manufacturers it and where it could possibly be sourced.
