Thank you to everyone who responded to the topic:
I am looking for a supplier of compression knee sleeves of varying thinknesses to use as an interface in PTB/unloading AFOs.


Please see the responses below:


* I routinely use prosthetics socks with my PTBs. I give the patient 2 3 ply and 2 five ply prosthetic socks. Mediun stretch socks fit just about everybody. I also recommend AFO socks for these patients. Just cut the toe off the prosthetic socks and you have orthotic socks.
* Try using compresso sleeves . Pel sells them. (Not compressogrip) . They come in widths and lengths so u can use them for a Bledsoe too. Sized by circ. 6 above KC.
* You can contact Landmark Medical Systems, Inc

· In the past I used the big fluffy CAM Walker socks. What about a bk suspension suspension sleeve

· Compression KNEE sleeves for AFO? Knit Rite is the only I know of that makes sleeves but they are all same thickness. You may combine their sleeve with Medi open end socks for suction sockets.
Kind regards,

Patrick
