Dear List,
I am in the process of fitting a very short transfemoral amputee, who
has an invaginated scar positioned vertically from the distal end to
almost ASIS. I would like to utilize a silicone liner, however
attempts with several designs failed due to seepage of air through the
scar area and loss of suspension. I believe there was a special gel on
the market that one would apply (like putty) into the invaginated scar
and then don the liner. Has any one tried this product? What are the
results? Who distributes it? Any other ideas like custom liners? I
don't think they will work for AK-s as the tissues get compressed
within a liner and shape of the scar changes. I will appreciate your
input.
Sincerely,
Stephan
