The Knit-Rite Problem-Solver!

Posted on May 25, 2011 | Leave a comment

Last week I had a call for a shrinker for a trans-tibial amputee who weighed a little over 400 lbs. The problem is the large circumference difference between the knee and the thigh and the inability to keep the top of the shrinker from rolling down.  As I stressed over this, I thought about using an AK shrinker and uitilizing the belt to hold it up, but the AK shrinker is a straight tube and would not handle the large taper from the thigh to the distal end.

In response to this issue, we’ve made a lower extremity dressing retention and compression garment that is modeled after our AK shrinker that is tapered to go down over the shin and onto the forefoot. The lower extremity dressing retention and compression garment works great. The top is large enough to contain the entire thigh, the belt is long enough to go around the waist, and the taper is just right to provide compression on the residual limb. We chose to stitch the distal end to give a custom look, but patients can still add a bone ring distally to close. Try it out – it just may help solve the problem!

NEW! Sterling Prosthetic Socks

Posted on September 29, 2010 | Leave a comment

The Knit Rite Sterling Prosthetic Sock was first developed in 1921.  Since that time, the finest materials have been combined with the most innovative technologies to create a premier prosthetic sock.  The Sterling Prosthetic sock features a reinforced toe, a more rounded toe and the absence of any open stitching.  All Sterling Socks are treated with a colored thread at the hem so the patient can determine the ply after washing.

Sterling Prosthetic Socks are available in Wool, Sterling Stretch, or Cotton.  The Sterling Wool sock is a blend of virgin domestic wool and Australian wool.  This blend provides the right about amount of stretch while still being soft.  One and two ply socks are 100% Australian wool.  Both are machine washable.

The Sterling Stretch Sock contains Cool-Max and Lycra so the sock conforms to the shape of the limb.  The Cool-Max also allows for moisture wicking.  This sock is fleeced on the inside which adds further comfort.

Cotton Sterling Prosthetic Socks are absorbent and hold their shape.  Shrinkage is minimal and can be mash washed.

NEW! Patented Hemispherically Knit Toe

Posted on September 1, 2010 | Leave a comment

Knit Rite’s soft sock has a new, patented hemispherically knit distal end.  The originally cuddly, soft Knit Rite Soft Sock has been updated with a 3-D distal end to provide improved fitting and comfort over the traditional flat knit shape of traditional prosthetic socks.  Knit-Rite Soft Socks  contain the right amount of Lyrca to provide stretch for an optimal fit.

Soft Socks are available in X-Static and Micro-Cool.  Both fibers help to wick moisture away from the skin to inhibit the growth of odor causing bacteria.  With a fleeced interior, Soft Socks feel warm and cuddly next to the skin.

For more information about Knit-Rite’s Soft Sock or to find a provider near you, please visit Knit-Rite online.
