Burn patient responses

Chad McCracken

Thank you to all who answered by request for recommendations concerning a
transfemoral patient with significant residual limb burns. Responses are
summarized as:

Most folks recommended using gel liners with the majority recommending
Urethane /PUR liners. Ossur Distal End caps frequently mentioned as
well. Those not using these, recommended Willow Wood Original or Silipose
due to being a softer gel.

Suction and Vacuum suspension most frequently recommended. Distal end
suspension to be avoided.

Strongly advised to maintain good lubrication over damaged skin with A/D
ointment or Sensicare lotion.

Thank you again.
Kindest regards,
Chad
