Hello Listserve,

Looking for recommendations and/or suggestions. I have a 340 pound plus male left trans-tibial amputee. Currently in an Alpha AK liner with Coyote suspension strap. Liner and suspension work very well. The problem the patient has is with blisters forming 2-3 inches proximal to the liner edge.

Patient has 2 liners which he rotates use of and keeps clean daily. There are no skin issues under the liner.

Any and all suggestions are appreciated.

Thank you.
