Hi all
I spent over 2 1/2 months walking a TTA Pt on 3 test sockets, until I
had it right. I am in dire need of suggestion on a sealing sleeve for
him. Socket fits fine over ALPS 6mm liner. But his one and only
complaint left is I can not get into my car, can't bend the knee, and
I have the socket trimmed WAAAAYYY down in popletial.
Liner and sleeve bunch there, preventing full bend.
Hence, I need a working suggestion on a THIN sealing sleeve, preferably,
pre-bent at the knee. I am not aware of anything THIN, as in 3mm or
less, that is pre-shaped. At this point in time, I'd rather not keep
experimenting with liners, and I know, that Ossur sleeve will not work,
neither will OttoBock one.
Your suggestions are much appreciated.
