Hi all,
I have a BK amputee wearing a 3s system (Alpha liner). He is a dialysis
pt with a normal size 6 residual limb. He has been getting water blisters
at the distal end of his residual limb. I have ensured he is not end
bearing and have a liner-liner sock under the Alpha liner. He still gets these
water blisters. He is only wearing the prosthesis for 30 minutes per day
for now. I will be removing the pin and use a suspension sleeve next. Has
anyone had a similar problem with distal water blisters? He even got them
from wearing a stump shrinker prior to wearing a prosthesis.
Thank You,
David Falk, LPO, CPO
