When taking body measurements, you need to use the correct type of tape measure. You will want to use a soft cloth or flexible plastic  tape measure, similar to what a seamstress uses. Do not use a metal measuring tape, used in construction (your measurements will be inaccurate).  Please don't guess, if you still have your sock packaging you can refer to the packaging size tab.  Pay special attention not to pull your measuring tape too tight.  Doing so will produce a measurement that is too small. 

The most difficult measurement is the bottom measurement.  Too often, people measure too high along the bottom of their limbs producing a larger "Bottom" measurement.  Ideally, measure 2 inches up from the bottom of your limb and use a pen to mark this level on your limb. Once you know exactly where to measure, use a tape measure to carefully measure your bottom circumference.

Amputee Essentials Calibrate Everyday Sock with Coolmax

The Calibrate Everyday Prosthetic Sock redefines comfort and functionality for prosthetic wearers. Expertly knitted to integrate seamlessly with your prosthesis, this sock assists in lowering temperature a degree or two as well as moisture-wicking capabilities, ensuring a comfortable experience throughout your day.

The Calibrate Everyday Prosthetic Sock offers a color-coded system. The sock top is color-coded to indicate its ply count - Green for 5 Ply, Yellow for 3 Ply, and Blue for Lightweight Ply. Prosthesis users can easily identify and select the sock that best suits their needs, facilitating precise adjustments in your prosthetic socket fit. Whether experiencing volume loss or gain, the flexibility of choosing from 1, 3, or 5 ply Everyday Socks ensures a proper fit every time.

Benefits

  • Calibrate Everyday sock with Coolmax is available with a reinforced and stitched bottom hole-in-toe for locking liners
  • Non-roll cuff prevents prosthetic sock bunching and sliding down
  • Calibrate Everyday dries fast and is durable thanks to Coolmax fibers
  • Coolmax textile helps transport perspiration away from your skin to the outside of the sock and regulate temperature
  • Each Everyday Prosthetic Sock is color coded at the top depending on the prosthetic sock ply thickness
  • Everyday Sock with coolmax fibers are resistant to shrinkage
  • Available in Lightweight, 3 Ply and 5 Ply thicknesses
  • Made in the USA
  • Sold each in sealed polybag

Suggested Use

Understanding the importance of the correct ply count is crucial. Many prosthetic wearers experience low back discomfort due to an insufficient sock ply count. The Calibrate Everyday Prosthetic Sock with Coolmax allows users to experiment with different ply options, from lightweight to 5 ply, to find the ideal level that comfortably elevates the residual limb and aligns the hips. This attention to detail helps avoid temporary leg length discrepancies caused by wearing a prosthesis with too little sock ply.

Materials & Construction

What truly sets the Calibrate Everyday Sock apart is its construction with Coolmax fibers. A product of Invista, Coolmax fibers are uniquely oval-shaped in cross-section, unlike the typical round fibers. This innovative design, combined with lengthwise channels knitted along the Coolmax thread, creates a pathway for moisture to travel away from the skin. This feature is especially beneficial for prosthetic wearers who don't use a prosthetic liner, as it ensures moisture is effectively drawn to the sock's surface.

Its fine knit construction is designed to withstand the demands of the most active individuals. For those who use a prosthetic liner with a locking pin, the Everyday Sock Coolmax comes with an optional sewn hole-in-toe, adding to its versatility. In summary, the Calibrate Everyday Prosthetic Sock is not just a sock; it's a thoughtful integration of comfort, innovation, and practicality, tailored for the unique needs of prosthetic wearers.

Care Instructions

When applying your Calibrate Everyday Sock with Coolmax pay special attention to avoid pulling the sock to thin along the bottom end of your residual limb.  Typically the greatest sock ply thickness is needed along the bottom. When a prosthetic sock is pulled-on vs layed-on, prosthetic wearers run the risk of turning a 5 ply sock into a 3 ply sock.

Wash your Calibrate Everyday Socks with Coolmax every day right side out. Machine wash with all purpose detergent similar to Medi-Care Wash, non-chlorine bleach only when needed Rinse thoroughly and pull taut, toe to top. No liquid softeners. Last tumble dry, low heat, or air dry.

Precautions

Avoid wearing your Calibrate Everyday Sock with Coolmax for more than 20 hours daily. Do not wear on broken or damaged skin. Discontinue use if your sock shows holes or signs of deterioration. Keep product out of the reach of children.
