Shower sleeve responses

Text:

My original post asked about where I could find a shower sleeve for a BK
prosthesis. Below are the responses. Thanks to all who replied.

Here are 2 sources I have not tried. These were responses sent to me when i
posted a similar
query.
 1) www.xerosox.com. These run ~$35.00 ( I think that's what the website
says...)
 2) Drypro @ 1-800-759-3038
Hope this helps.

I am a rt. B/K . and wear an endo skeletal leg with a collegepark on the end.
I put a Hosmer sach foot adapter on top of the foot,Hosmer flesh colered sach
plate on top of that and then caulked the heck out of the space between the
foot shell and the plate with silicone. This keeps the water out of the foot
O.K.

 I have been using the Alps Clearline Silicone Suspension sleeve for
showering and swimming. Virtually NO water seeps in at all. Then if patient
gets a hole in the sleeve. Don't pay Ossur for their silicone patch kit . Use
the same clear silicone calk to patch any silicone products that get holes.

Hope this helps
