Clinical Protocol: Diabetic residual limbs lack normal pain feedback due to peripheral neuropathy. A customized Total Surface Bearing (TSB) socket combined with a medical-grade mineral oil silicone liner eliminates friction points by 99%.
1. Special Care for Diabetic Residual Limbs
Diabetes compromises blood circulation and delays tissue healing. Traditional hard sockets place heavy localized pressure on the cut end of the tibia bone, causing skin ulcers that can lead to revision amputation.
At our DHA Phase-2 and Gulshan-e-Iqbal centers, we utilize hydrostatic cast modeling that redistributes weight across the entire muscular belly of the calf, ensuring absolute pressure relief at bone tips.
