I have a client with a recent wrist disarticulation
amputation due to a traumatic injury. She is
interested in a custom cosmetic restoration.
Unfortunately, her distal end has significant scar
tissue and is EXTREMELY sensitive. I would like a
custom liner of soft silicone gel as a cushion layer
between her residual limb and the prosthesis.
The only manufacturer I have been able to find is
Linea Orthopedics in Sweden. Does anyone know where I
can purchase a custom soft silicone liner in the U.S.?
Off the shelf liners & sheaths I have tried are too
large, unavailable without distal attachments, or too
bulky. She would also prefer a cover color close to
her natural skin tone-light negroid, with no writing
on it.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
