Dear List,
We had a rep in the other day,from a very well known distributor/manufacture and while showing what's new brought out what they call a compensator sock.Basically this is a sheath with a two ply or so Cool max type material sewn into the distil third of the sheath.The idea being that if you need to tighten a bit distally but not global this would do the trick.
Well my question to her was,is their a compensator sock available that would do the opposite i.e. the multi-ply portion sewn proximal? she stated her company did not have one but wondered if such a sock would be useful.Well my expertise is technical and not so much clinical so I said I would post the question on the list and report your thoughts.
Sincerely
