HELP !!!!!!

I have a patient who weighs 485 lb post amputation – he is a recent BK

amputee & is ready to be cast for his prosthesis

i have some ideas already ……. iceross suspension, pelite liner for

easier accomodation of changes in shape &/or volume, custom made flex

walk foot (maybe) …..

please bombard me with comments & suggestions ASAP – i am scheduled to

cast him April 17th

I am especially interested in anyone who has experience with using

componentry with someone who exceeds the weight limits & the legal

implications of this situation

I await your replies ….. Heather.
