Anyone else having patients tearing their liners? I have two who have torn their liners in the last month, both immediately proximal to the matrix. First to go is the fabric and then the gel. Both sockets are round and wet sanded along the proximal trimlines. Both have a mild popliteal shelf. Both are modified according to manufacturer's specs. Any recent similar experiences would be appreciated. I feel these issues are a materials problem, and if others are having the same things occuring now, it most certainly is.
 
Thank you very much,
Matthew C. Daniels, CP
