Aloha list serve!
I have a little kiddo who I have started seeing for his below knee prosthesis. He is a 2 year old congenital amputee, who's parents made him a sleeve out of an old wetsuit (lots of surfers in Hawai'i). His knee circumference is 21.5cm and his thigh circumference is 24.5
I like the Alps 2mm sleeve for my patients who are big enough, but a fair amount of my prosthetic patients are smaller than the smallest stock size.
Any suggestions are appreciated.
