Hello list,

We are considering reducing the numbers of, or totally eliminating, the use
of laminated prosthetic sockets in favor of blister formed sockets. I'm
interest in comments about the best choice of materials for definitive
blister formed socket fabrication considering strength and durability, ease
of finishing, resistance to shrinkage, final appearance, etc.

Thanks in advance and I will post consensus information.
