POUR PADS

POUR PADS

I am in search of a product that is similar to the old pour pad that was used years ago. You mixed the two parts together and poured it in a prosthetic socket for a distal end pad. I also used to as a toefiller or trans-met filler in shoes. I need something similar to use to make a filler for a patients leg which had a large cancer removed, leaving an indention on the side of the leg at her calf. She had her last pads made over 30 years ago, which fills in the area left from the cancer surgery. She now wants more made. I've contacted several of the that make replacement part. They could make one with a mold of both legs and at a great cost to us which would be more than she can pay. It has to be some type of foam which pigment can be added for flesh tone colors. She holds it in place using her hose.

Thanks for any help anyone can give me.
