Good morning Mr. Rosenberg,

Recently the Valor sock was evaluated by a Harmony user
to help manage her perspiration
She wears a custom urethane liner and dons it after applying Sensicare
She was about to have a cover installed and asked to hold off until this issue is resolved or improved
We had a few hot days so far in the north east and I believe she will need to acclimate to both the season and her new system
After calling Ottobock it was suggested to try the Swiftwick sock
Both 3 and 5 inch were tried under her liner as Bock and Swiftwick recommend
My understanding is the sock should not cross the knee
Due to several factor, the Swiftwick sock was not acceptable to her
She stated she felt the loss of connection with the Valor sock and it felt more course against her skin
She tried the Knit Rite soft sock which was more comfortable on her skin, but the feeling of connection was still compromised
Still searching for a possible solution
If you don't mind, please share the responses
Maybe she be willing to try another option
Until then
Thanks for your post
Erik Tompkins, CP
