Perspiration and Sleeves/Liners

Perspiration and Sleeves/Liners

Braceon CPO

I remember a few months back discussion re: excessive perspiration with
socket liners and suspension sleeves. There were a few suggestions and
recommendations to address this problem.
An elderly patient/client with a below knee prosthesis recently converted to
a neoprene sleeve suspension. He is perspiring so much that by mid afternoon,
his socks, socket,and sleeve are completely soaked. I have never seen this as
such a problem in the past.
 Incidentally, other non neoprene sleeves have been tried, but to date the
patient/client feels the neoprene gives the most secure suspension. (Will
try DAW's new cinch (sp?) suspension sleeve soon...anybody have feedback
on this yet?)

Thanks in advance. braceon cpo
