Hello,
I am taking an informal poll regarding a modification to the seal in liner that I would like to see. I would like to see the addition of a pin lock attachment in combination with the seal in as well. This would provide additional security to the patients who occasionally lose suction with their seal in liners, but otherwise do fairly well with them. I have had patients that have been switched to the seal in because they were experiencing pistoning with their pin locking liners. The seal in has the advantage of no pistoning and rotation control, however, patients have at times lost suction, and don't have the confidence in their suspension that they had with the pin. I have mentioned this to a couple of different Ossur folks who claim that you don't need it. I believe this may be the case with the perfect candidate for the Seal in as it is currently made, but with a pin lock could be suitable for more patients, such as ones with larger volume
fluctuation than the Seal in is reccomended for.
My question is: If Ossur were to manufacture a pin locking Seal-In liner, would you use this with your patients?
Thanks,
Nathan Keepers, CPO
