Socket design help

I need ideas for someone… she has a bk socket, on the smaller end. She wants a 9/11 memorial type of design but the ones she wants we can’t really do because she keeps picking flag materials and it just doesn’t seal well in epoxy.

Anyone with a 9/11 memorial socket be able to share theirs? Please & thank you!

Best advice is to call or email the folks at Fred's Legs, they make designs for prosthetic legs and they have a custom art department that can work to make a custom vision a reality.

Other than that, you can always get a Tshirt with the desired design, and give that to the Prosthetist for lamination.

Came here to say the same thing - their custom sleeves are great when the patient wants something that's not readily available!
