Anyone know of an off the shelf brace that I can use to manage a flexion contracture of a bk amputation. He is post amp one month and has eschar proximal to his suture line so the physician would like to not have any pressure there. I can put pressure on his patella and posteriorly on residual limb. I know one company made something that was bulky but might work. Have already considered Leeder and the usual suspects. His length is about 6 inches long.

Also, do not think his insurance will cover ultraflex.

Thanks for your time.
