I have spoken to some prosthetists that have used pressure casting of one
sort or another. They have told me that it works ok. I believe that it
should be ok. I am however, concerned about the elongation. We teach in
our instructions NOT to elongate the residual limb. I feel that I must tell
you that elongation will shorten the life expectancy of the Alpha Liner.
Therefore, I must point out that our warranty to you, the prosthetist, does
not cover deviations from following the Ohio Willow Wood recommendations.
Your patient/client would only be left with what ever warrantee you provide
to them on your work and product.
