Hello colleagues,
I have a TT amputee, wearing a 9mm Alpha Uniform liner in existing socket that fits well. No need for a socket change. We have trialled him in elevated vacuum (Harmony P3) which works very well except for the typical skin suction rash at the edge of the liner. An interim solution has been to use silicone adhesive to make the fabric proximal portion of the liner airtight but this only works intermittently. The WillowWood One liner would be ideal but its also only 6mm. Any other brilliant solutions or suggestions other than a recast of the socket over a 6mm One liner?
Thanks,
Markus Säufferer
