Hello list,

I and our technical staff have recently been experimenting with silicone 5 from Renew for use in the distal socket of Transfemoral cases. I am interested in trying to utilize the material for the interior of the flexible inner socket in a skin fit design or with the use of a liner.

The main problem we have been having is a general inability to get the stuff to adhere to anything in a satisfactory manner! For any of those currently utilizing this material, what are you using as an adhesive for this product? Any tricks would be appreciated!

Thanks in advance,
