Hi all,
I'm working with a veteran who is wearing an old exoskeleton hip disarticulation prosthesis. We've tried switching him over to modern, endoskeleton components but he prefers his aging exo design. We are trying to replicate his current exo as close as possible, but all of the parts have been discontinued. We've already contacted the major manufacturers without any luck and we're hoping someone may have one in the back of their shop or information on where we may be able find them. We are in need of a North Western / Canadian style hip joint and a pedilen foam exoskeleton knee for a dupaco unit. The dupaco unit could also fit in an integra frame if anyone has that laying around. Thanks for your help.
Best,
Justin
