I was reading Marty's repuest about swim and shower prosthesis. Instead of
making a whole new prosthes for only showering and swimming. Why not just
put on a sock, made of rubbery material, pump out the air, to make a vacuum
around the limp and prosthes. That way you keeps the prosthes dry and it sure is
easier, than carying a spare leg around.
One company who deals whit such a device is Tec Motion Scandinavia AB, from
Helsingborg, Sweden. The product is called XeroSox. It should be waterproof even
for swimming at the beach.
Mary I know it wasn't what you repuested, but I couldn't help it. I had to tell
about it.
Greetings
