Hi List members,
I'm seeking information you might have about inexpensive vacuumformed
fabrication of transfemoral AK prostheses to take place in an overseas
lab. that currently uses vacuum-forming of thermoplastics (polypro,
polyethylene, and the like) for their transtibial BK sockets.
  I'm looking for suggestions on a socket manufacturing system and low
maintenance knees, shins and feet that could be assembled without
significant additional equipment.
 
My first thought is Endolite. Any other ideas/suggestions?
 
Thanks,
