Custom Locking Liner for 450 pound BKA

Custom Locking Liner for 450 pound BKA

11/6/2006

Prefab 28 CM Comfort locking liner worked great till patient put on 200+ pounds. This liner still fits and suspends well up to MPT but then large thigh causes it to roll down into socket. I had custom, covered, tapered Otto Bock Urethane liner made. This appears to not be sticky enough and the residual limb pulls out and she looses suspension. I don't know of any prefab liners that can accommodate a 28CM distal end and also a huge thigh. Any recommendations for alternative custom liner for this type of patient?
