Summarizing the responses to my post
Dear list-
Summarizing the responses to my post questioning where I might get infi on HD stump shrinkers. Three sources were mentioned: Knit Rite; Royal Knit; and JUZO. I have confirmed that Knit Rite will custom make a HD stump shrinker (no cost quote), Royal Knit DOES NOT make HD stump shrinkers, and I haven't been able to confirm infornmation from JUZO because the only contact info I have is to send a request via e-mail and wait (how long ???) for a response. Another interesting response came from Tim Fair of Florida: We measure the patient, go buy shapewear from Walmart or another store (basically compressive material) one size down, then sew the amputated side up so it sits flush against the residual tissue.
Thanks for your help! John G. Craig, CPO/LPO (Tx)
