Dear O&P List
What are preferences regarding flexible inner sockets for a
trans-femoral prosthesis? I am considering using PE but am concerned
about shrinkage. My patient has been using a suralyn 1/4 draped molded
check socket now for several months. The finished product will be
bubbled molded with a carbon frame(no cutouts). Am looking for a
flexible proximal edge. Thank you for your suggestions. Molly Pitcher
