Dear list,
I have a 32 year old male transfemoral amputee who is wearing a full suction (skin fit) ischial containment socket with a proflex S flexible inner socket with a carbon frame. Patient is very comfortable and an excellent walker. Problem is this patient suffers hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating) we tried certain dri it did not help. Then we sent him to his physician who prescribed drysol. The drysol has not helped the sweating either. This patient perspires so much that the leg will slide off. Patient has used silicone liners in the past with the same problem. I would prefer not to use socks, would prefer not remaking the prosthesis as when he is dry he is very happy however the perspiration happens very quickly. I am looking for suggestions how to assist this gentleman.
Thank you,
