I have an experienced and active wrist disarticulation prosthesis user who prefers six tension bands. He has a heavy duty control cable so I can not use a Teflon liner in the cable housing. He is requesting lubrication for the cable. I am looking for a lubricant that reduces friction but does not soil clothing. Any suggestions?
