Dear Mr. Rieth,
May I also suggest that you use a thicker liner and I would suggest
the medium-plus size. This size will give a little more room on her
thigh and make it less likely to slide down when it gets wet. We do
not suggest the use of the use of powders inside the Alpha Liner as
they will destroy it. I would suggest that you consider at least a 6mm
liner and depending on the shape of her residual limb you might
need a contoured or tapered style. If you care to call me at The
Ohio Willow Wood Company (the manufactures of the Alpha Liner.)
I will be happy to go over her measurements with you and help you
decide on the best size. May I also suggest that you try and attend
one our hands on seminars on the Alpha Liner as it will help you
much more than you would think in fitting and dealing with the
problems that you describe. Also, we have prepared a Video that
covers much of what you ask and would be happy to send you one
at no charge if you would like. (the seminars are however, much
better than the Video.) I hope you will call and we can talk as one
prosthetist to an other about this case.
Respectfully,
Fellow Practitioners,
I have a 50 y/o active congenital B/K patient who I have tried to use
3mm non-locking Alpha Liners with over the course of about three
months.......... .
Any suggestions?
