Does anyone out there have experience with using roll on silicone liners for
UL prostheses?

I have a patient for whom this is working well, but he cannot don the liner
himself.

He has
        left transhumeral deficiency
        fleshy redundant tissue distally


and right arm damage
        Poor/weak elbow flexion
        no pronation of forearm
        thumb adduction, but not opposition
        good adducting pinch strength

He is a farmer who is intelligent and motivated.

Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
