Dear list:
Hope everyone is hanging on!
For this patient of mine, we always did a custom design on the exterior of
the socket. We would ask him to bring in a T-shirt or similar textile with
a desired image; we would stitch it up and use it instead of the last
stockinette while laminating, usually with good results. He moved out of
state and had his next prosthesis done elsewhere. Today, I had a chance to
examine it. According to the patient, he emailed to them an image, which
they somehow “printed” on the prosthesis. It seems that there was no seam
anywhere, so it is unlikely that the image was printed on fabric and then
laminated into the socket. The external surface of the socket was unusually
glossy. Does anyone know what technique might have been used on that
socket? Is it something any lab can do or it has to c–fabbed? If c-fabbed
– any suggestions?
Thank you in advance.
Stephan
