Good evening;
We’ve got a patient who uses a thigh lacer and needs a replacement for
his prosthesis. Doing without a lacer is not an option. Trouble is, his
personal hygiene and bladder control are, um, less than desirable. In
nutshell, his thigh lacer is thoroughly pickled and revolting. Does
anyone have a recommendation for a substitute material for leather for
use in a thigh lacer? Something that breathes would be a plus, otherwise
we were considering linear polyethylene, which seems to hold rivets
nicely and is certainly cleanable. He wears long wool socks beneath the
corset which help wick moisture (and yes, they’re just as badly pickled
as the corset).
Suggestions?
