Hello Everyone,

 

We have a morbidly obese woman we are seeing in the hospital for a
transtibial removable rigid dressing. We usually use the Flo-Tech APOPP
system for these patients, but even their 3X-Large size is too small for
this patient.

 

The hospital is wanting to discharge this patient, but not until she has
something that will protect her limb. We toyed with using a huge knee
immobilizer, but that would still leave the distal limb exposed and
unsupported.

 

Any other ideas???

 

Thanks,

 

 

Warren R Mays, CPO
