Hello All,
I have a young man in my care who has very narrow Symes residual limbs. In
the past, I have provided him with Jim Smith 3” x 15” one-ply fitting socks,
which worked very well for him. Jim Smith has discontinued the 3” width of
sock. I have looked at all of the Knit-Rite options, etc. to no avail. A 3”
sock is about as big as this patient can use, or distal wrinkling of the
sock becomes an issue. In the perfect world, I could find a one-ply
thickness in a sock with 2 ½” toe and 3” top. Any ideas?
Thank You!
