Hello List,
I am working with a transfemoral amputee who reacts to many types of
plastic. He went through chemotherapy and is very fair-skinned. He has had
trouble in the past with flexible plastic inner socket materials. He even
got a rash from his hospital bracelet. He gets relief most of the time with
Gold Bond powder. This did not happen to him before chemotherapy. His
amputation was the result of a bone tumor. Any similar experiences or
advice?
