Hello Colleagues and Guests,
I have intercepted a noise issue with a fairly new CRO Walker. Our
design is fairly conventional with scalloped walls for
vertical interlocking, no reinforcing struts, Aliplast interface,
3/16copolymer, and a four strap Velcro closure system. I believe
frontal plane rotational movement may be the culprit, but still don't
have resolution of the problem. We added a test sleeve of nylon hosiery
between the two halves, but this did not help. We also trimmed the
anterior Aliplast away in the overlap areas and tried powder. Still no
improvement. We have not tried any form of lubricant. Any ideas will be
appreciated.
Thank you.
