I'm familiar with TEC's reference of average % Trans-tibial volume
fluctuation per day but wondering if manufacturers (Vass, E-Vac, etc.) or
experienced clinicians could reference or hazard guess as to average leak
rates in TT suction sockets (those with compliant users, carefully managed
sleeve holes or leaks, etc.), perhaps average mmHg per hour or similar
measurement..? i.e. how often does E-Vac engage in day and what's average
air/gas moved?
