Dear Colleagues and friends,
I read the posts on this list serve daily and have found them very helpful
at times, but have never asked a questions so I figured it was about time.
I have a patient that is in a suction socket that is constantly going
through suspension sleeves. He has 2 main problems they are either getting
a puncture somewhere along the brim of the socket or they are stretching out
and sliding down on his leg. He is a big patient and is very heavy duty on
components. The patient is currently on the OB Proflex Derma sleeve, and
the OWW Flex Sleeve. My question is what sleeves have you been successfully
using and what socket modifications you are using to help prevent puncturing
the sleeve and to help prevent the sleeve from sliding down the socket.
Thank you for your time
