Farabloc
fabric looks and feels like linen but is made up of extremely thin
steel fibers and nylon. It helps to stimulate blood circulation,
producing pleasant feelings of warmth, relaxation and calm. It was
originally invented to help ease phantom pain experienced by some
amputees, but has many other applications. Farabloc is usually sewn
into a sock shape, matching the residual limb, but we provide our
clients with additional comfort by incorporating Farabloc right into the lamination
process of prosthetic sockets.
