I am interested in vacuum casting trans tibials. I just purchased Tecs' vacuum casting balloon. Before I start, I wanted to know other practitioners experiences with this technique. Any tips & tricks ? Do some gel liners work better than others? How much vacuum do you pull? Tec suggested a 2 stage cast with the first stage being cast in 70*-80 * of flexion. Any feedback would be very helpful.
Thank you.
