The effect of salt water on Prosthetic materials

Posted By: Michael Arnette BOCPO, LPO on October 10, 2012

Hello List,

Being from Oklahoma, I haven't had experience with salt water and its effects.
Particular materials I would love to know more about are:

Metal components
Proflex
Proflex w/ silicone
ESP valves
And acrylic resins

Also how about liners?

Any input from all you coasters would be helpfull
