Hello Fellow List Members,
Here in the Great Lakes area we play in fresh water on our coasts, so the machine screws in the components are normally not affected by the water when we locktight them and spray them with orthocryl. We have a patient though that has been visiting the oceans and has been coming back with rusty machine screws in the tube clamps on his transtibial prosthesis. Just wondered what you guys and gals use on the outer coasts that prevent this from occuring.
I will respond with all results.
Thanks and Merry Christmas and/or Happy Holidays to all of you.
