> Dear Colleagues,
> I have a male client who has been a BK for almost a year. His first
> prosthetic fitting went well with the Dermos. Second socket started out
> well with the same liner but after two months, he started complaining of
the
> feel as if the liner were taped to his skin. This is a locking liner.
We
> reviewed hygeine and using alcohol to cleanse. Not to use any other
> cleaners, powders,etc. He did try powder but of no use. size fits
well.
> As a temporary fix he is applying baby oil to skin. This helps with the
> problem but not long term fix. Have tried the alpha liner but got the
same
> reaction with the taped on feeling.
> Please Help if you can.
