Sealing knee sleeve

Ingvar

Hi all

I spent over 2 1/2 months walking a TTA Pt on 3 test sockets, until I
had it right. I am in dire need of suggestion on a sealing sleeve for
him. Socket fits fine over ALPS 6mm liner. But his one and only
complaint left is “I can not get into my car, can’t bend the knee”, and
I have the socket trimmed WAAAAYYY down in popletial.
Liner and sleeve bunch there, preventing full bend.
Hence, I need a working suggestion on a THIN sealing sleeve, preferably,
pre-bent at the knee. I am not aware of anything THIN, as in 3mm or
less, that is pre-shaped. At this point in time, I’d rather not keep
experimenting with liners, and I know, that Ossur sleeve will not work,
neither will OttoBock one.
Your suggestions are much appreciated.
