Hello prosthetists,
Typically, heat dissipation is the problem in a prosthetic socket, but those who wear a prosthesis in really cold weather will often tell you that their residual limb gets cold.
Heated foot warmers and battery powered socks have helped out people's feet from getting too cold.
Just wondering if anyone has found a good electric sock or other product that works for this purpose. I'm looking for something for a bilateral AK but am interested in other amputation level solutions as well.
Thanks,
Zach Harvey, CPO
