I have a trans tibial patient using an Ohio Willow Wood LimbLogic system, with an ALPS Proximal Seal interface liner, who perspires heavily despite use of antiperspirant solutions. His liner eventually shifts on his residual limb, and migrates distally, bunching behind his knee and causing other problems and discomforts.
The system otherwise works well, and he is not unhappy with the technology. Can anyone recommend techniques to remove or otherwise manage the excess perspiration using the VASS system? I have thought of pin holes in the distal liner region whereby the suction pump draws out and expels excess moisture, and may yet try that. Any comments or suggestions are most welcome.
