I have a trans-femoral patient who snow boards and wake boards. While
falling during wakeboarding she loses the socket at the liner/residual limb
connection. We are considering using a seal and vacuum to prevent this
problem but, are nervous about not having a breakaway feature to protect
her. I'd appreciate any experience and or contacts.

 

Thanks very much,
