We have a patient in our office who insists on using drugstore hand
lotion for a wet fit AK suction socket. The problem is that the
proflex flexible inner socket warps and folds with this stuff. We've
been round and round trying to get her to use more appropriate
lotions, to no avail. This has been going on for years, and just
telling her to use something different is not going to work. So that
leaves changing the socket material. My question: Is there a flexible
inner socket material that can handle this kind of lotion without
warping?
