Hello list,
Could anyone suggest where I can find a quality PVC type skin for a
transtibial prosthesis? I was able to use a prototype from Ossur a few
years ago and it worked wonderfully, but they never ended up making
more. I've used stretchy silicone types for this particular patient and
she rips through the toes in a matter of weeks (loves to wear sandals
and wears through at the toes).
I would appreciate any suggestions. Thanks!
