Post Amputation PAL-Guard is used to enhance below-knee prosthetic
treatment programs using traditional shrinkers or wrappings by
preventing wound trauma to the unprotected amputation. Three sizes
allow most limbs to be fit after amputation and/or prior to discharge.
The adjustability of the lightweight system, ease of donning and
doffing, and the ability to remove and clean the Coolfoam liner makes
this product especially effective for amputees with recent amputations.
The PAL-Guard can be a valuable component of a comprehensive
prosthetic rehabilitation program to prepare an amputation for future
prosthetic fittings.
