Thank you to those who responded. Following is the initial inquiry and
responses:
Inquiry: Anyone know a source for extra long donning bags? I
currently use the EZ Proth, which works great, but occasionally I have
cases in which the bag is not long enough (long residual limbs), and
therefore is not able to nurse in proximal adipose tissue. I would
prefer a color coated bag, not neutral like Knit-Rite's Power Tube or
Power Pull bags.
Responses:
--Just sew two together to the size you want.
--I am not sure if outside people can get it, but maybe through SPS.
The hanger upper extremety program sells long blue bags that would work.
You can try calling SPS to see if you can get them.
--I went to Hancock Fabric store on my way home and made one custom to
fit the patient.
--Daw has a long donning sleeve ...very long.
Subie Marvin, CP
**I contacted DAW and spoke with Stuart. He suggested the DAW Slipper,
which can go more proximal on the residuum than the DAW EZ-IN Donning
bag (almost identical to the EZ Proth).
