Dear List,
Independent CPO wishes to take a prosthetic development out of his clinic
and trial it with forward thinking, innovative prosthetists. I am currently
looking for three (3) facilities located in different regions of the
country to work with. This product relates to creating elevated negative
vacuum (Harmony, Limb Logic, excreta ) in prosthetic sockets without the use
of electricity, or mechanical pumps. Your ideal candidate should be a
active, semiactive below the knee amputee, who successfully wears a suction
socket and can provide good feedback.
This development has been tested in our clinic with no failure to date. You
will be provide with the items/technique for free and if you client does not
like it, your work can be reality converted back to a conventional suction
fit with minimal work and no refabrication.
This is a homegrown, grassroots effort to create a better product for the
end consumer while being easier and cost effective for the prosthetist to
provide.
Thank you
