Dear Colleagues,
I've an active TT wearer who likes to use his prosthesis while engaging in
water sports and has asked me for a solution to a problem we've encountered
with his tubing activities in the summer.
The patient wears a locking liner and wants to have an auxiliary
suspension; which will maintain a water tight seal as well, during his water
activities. Seems simple enough though we've tried latex sleeves which he
destroys within hours; neoprene sleeves and the like. Please help with
something you've found successful and pass that along.
Thank You in Advance,
