I have a bilateral BE that needs new body powered arms. When I evaled him, he stated that he wants sockets that he doesn't have to wear socks with. We discussed gel liners and flexible inner liners but he doesn't like the idea if either. I told him I didn't know of anyway to do this but I would ask all of you. He wears a figure 8 harness with triceps pads.
 
Has anyone made BE sockets where they donned the sockets against the bare skin?
 
If you have please tell me how you made them and how they worked for the patient.
 
Thank you
