I am interested in hearing the opinions of prosthetists on this list who
have used vacuum casting equipment for total surface bearing sockets.

What is the nature of your experience? Do you currently use exculsively
vacuum or non-vacuum casting?
What advantages/disadvantages does each method have?
If you use both methods, are there certain patients for whom you use one
method over the other?

Thanks for your responses.
