Will this work well for an amputee - right calf?

Yes, I think it would work well. It is very sturdy. The only issue I have it that the floor gets wet if you don't put the shower curtain across the seat perfectly since half of the seat is in the shower and the other half stays out. It worked well for my son in a full leg cast.

Would be perfect. I will also suggest to purchase a wall handle amazon carries. This transfer bench is a great asset.

My mom used it after her hip surgery - the bench goes on either side of the tub so you get on the outside of the tub and slide across (so yes I think it should work).

There is a specific shower curtain for transfer bench you can buy if floor wetting becomes an issue.

It should. I had knee replacement. The single large leg goes on the outside of tub. The back fits on either side depending on which way you want to sit. You sit on outside of seat then slide over lifting legs over edge of tub.

I'm sorry. I don't know. I got this for my dad to help him get into the tub with security. Sorry I'm not more help. I do know people use them after total hip replacement. I have a walk in shower so didn't need it.

I bought this for my Dad after his hip replacement and it works very well for him and he slides in from outside of the tub. It is sturdy and was of better quality than even the one that they had at the rehab facility that he was at before he came home. It is also adjustable to fit either way into the tub and with varying tub angles. I also got a handle held shower to go with it and Dad has been happy with it. I had also looked at other models but this one was the sturdiest and best value.

I purchased this for my mom while recovering from hip surgery so I do not have access to the item to measure. However, I do know that with practice it works very well and if you have large calf muscles like I do, you can easily spread the sock holder apart to accommodate your calf size.

A friend of ours used one of these when he had his knee surgery and swears it's the reason for his good results. Good luck!

My wife says maybe. You have to put the sock on over the plastic thing and she is not sure whether a compression sock may be too tight to do that or too long in length, but it might work. If it doesn't work you can always send it back if you buy it from Amazon - doesn't cost that much. It certainly helped my wife getting her regular socks on for the first month or two after she broke her leg. You can't take socks off with this thing.

I only used it for my right foot - so right boot. I did not think about it being for either foot. I will look at it when I get home tonight.

My calf measures 42 1/2cm. I like the Jobst Stocking Donner because the stocking are easy to put on. It may seem hard to pull the stocking over the area for the stocking but try and it will be great. Make sure that you follow the directions on how far to pull the stocking over the area. Also a hint, wear Jobst gloves . This will help you pull and fit the stocking as well as having less chance of poking you finger through them.

I haven't had this one that long. My original one was similar I got in rehab in 2002 still have it. When using heavier compression stockings it could compromise it but I cannot use some of those new donners because you need more agility than I have.

I really don't think this will work. I bought this device for my father, who had a hip replacement surgery recently. He uses some heavy duty socks, which are a little less harder than compression socks. Well, the device worked for that, but honestly I really don't know if this will do the same for compression socks.

Will not work for calf raises or squats as too soft (especially for 200+lb) and narrow for proper alignment. Best way to work the calf is a single foot lift off edge of a step- add a loaded back pack for extra weight if needed.This foam board is really for just a simple static stretch to the calf muscles.

i think for both it depends on ur size, its a good product i've been using mine for a year no runs so far and the compression seems still good on my calf.

No, but why would you put a Kneedit above the knee? It's designed to support the knee from below. My Kneedit would accommodate a calf about 15 1/2" in diameter.

We didn't keep this device as it didn't really work for us. It may work for some. I suppose if you are creative you might be able to use it for removal, but I can't imagine that it would help. Can you just roll them down? I realize the stockings are tight and it would be nice to have help, but I can't imagine that this would make it easier. You would have to stretch the top part enough to put it back on the donner while your leg was still in the stocking. I suggest going to a local medi-supply place and seeing one in person. That should answer all your questions.

I have one and it did matter. There is a difference, though by looking at it you may not notice, but for me the side metal/plastic parts rubbed in the wrong area's on my right leg. The one I bought was for the left side. Unfortunately they are designed for one side not both. But you can always try it and if their is no pain... but it won't work 100% optimally.

Dunno, but my dog is medium built , it has adjustable straps,Iam sure you can strap a small calf

I think so. It would definitely fit around my calf but I'm not sure about a man's calf.

I originally used it to protect a cast. I know have a weight bearing boot that is larger than the cast. I decided to shower with the boot on and the seal tight cover because I still can't put full weight on my foot and our shower is tiny. I don't know the size of your prosthesis but it seems like it could work. The key is getting a firm seal around the upper leg with the flange. Good luck!

Dear. CustomerAny leg size below 18" Mid Calf Circumference (Large = Regular Size) will be OK to use. Once air inflates to sleeve, inside of sleeve will be smaller than you leg size.
