Dear Members:
I have a 38 year old male who is extremely obese. He is a bk amputee. He
has severe amounts of tissue on his thigh and a very atrophied residual limb.
There is a big difference between the size of the limb and thigh. He has
had problems in the past with trim lines pinching his skin and with liners
rolling down. I am looking for suggestions for suspension and methods for
containing the soft tissue.
Thank you,
Jessica Eizenberg, NCOPE resident
