Hello,
I have a patient that we provided with a duplicated ak, suction, flexible inner socket, that he has yet to use significantly since he does not like to break in a new socket. The material is proflex with silicone, and is smooth to the touch. It is the same material, and shape as his old socket, but it is still tacky. Over time, the silicone becomes more smooth with wear and appears to take on some of the body oils, reducing skin traction, especially in doffing. I have just given him some silicone lotion (alps) to try with the leg.
My question is: Is there any tricks to get proflex seasoned more quickly: buffing, oils? Anything besides just wearing?
I will post responses.
Thank you,
Nathan Keepers, CPO
