pin and suction suspension
Posted By: Markus Saufferer on October 11, 2012
Dear List, I was recently asked by a rehab doc. to provide a patient with a seal-in liner with auxiliary pin suspension to satisfy a unique patient's needs. I am not aware of any way to retrofit a pin onto a Seal-In liner. I am aware of auxiliary seals available from Evolution or ESP which can be retrofitted onto a suspension liner, which would of course be used with an air-tight lock. Are there retrofittable magnetic glue-on "pucks" available to work with some of the electromagnetic locks? (This patient is averse to sleee suspension and pin suspension gives him distal milking and pain with soft tissue distraction, but Seal-In hasn't been 100% reliable due to his limb shape and soft tissue.) Any other ideas? Much appreciated as always, Markus Saufferer, C.P.(c) Motion Prosthetics |
