Hello everyone,
I've got a small bird in my Ossur Seal-in pt's leg that chirps when he
walks... It appears that the top ring is gapping slightly, pulling air
and re-sealing. The air then pushes out the posterior opening (the top
ring sits right at the posterior trimline) I put several small holes in
the flexible inner socket, posteriorly, thinking this would allow the
air to escape but the noise continues. I'm considering adding small
grooves in the inner socket from the top ring upwards to allow air to
move freely but would love to hear what you've encountered and remedies
you've found.
Thanks for the input, it's always greatly appreciated.
