Virgin Wool - plaited inside with X-Static/Lycra blend. This amputee
sock features X-Static - The Silver Fiber, a high performance fiber
system made with pure silver. Silver is naturally antimicrobial, enabling
X-Static to safely inhibit the growth of odor-causing bacteria and fungi
in the garment. Silver also has the best possible thermodynamic
properties, so your prosthetic leg stays cooler in the summer and
warmer in the winter.
Absorbent virgin wool is thick and cushioning. Lycra allows the
prosthetic sock to contour without stretching out and accommodates
leg flexion. Fleeced to add softness.

Nearly 90% of the amputees who use stump socks can be correctly
fitted with a stock size sock because the knitted construction has a
stretch which allows a fitting range. Nevertheless, some measurement
guidelines can be helpful.
 | Measure from the bottom end of your stump to the top of your | |
| prosthetic socket. The length of the sock should be 2 to 4 inches more than this measurement depending on the type of fitting and suspension preference. You should not have to pull the amputee sock too taut. | ||
| Measure your limb circumference at the "top" of the socket | |
| Measure the "toe" limb circumference 2 inches up from the bottom | |
| end |
Use the table below to determine the correct
size sock for your limb.
If you are "in-between" sizes please select larger size.
